What happens at training?

Each week, the mid-week track session focuses on a different area of preparation such as conditioning, strength or endurance.  Each workout is followed by a guest speaker talking about a relevant subject to either educate or inspire Can Tooers – from nutrition to injury prevention, goal setting or what it is like to experience cancer and the work of Cure Cancer Australia. The track session runs from 6:30pm until 8:00pm – 8:30pm.

On Saturday mornings, participants can look forward to distance road runs. These guided weekly runs progressively increase in distance. The training groups are broken into smaller groups so that participants can run with people of similiar exerpence and/or pace. These sessions are about an hour to start with and get progressively longer as the length of the run increases.

Through the remainder of the week, participants follow a training guide which includes cross training and core strength to make sure they have what it takes to reach their goal.Can Tooers can email their coaches during the week, should they have any questions or concerns. It’s that simple! Follow the program for the Run of Your Life!!
