What happens at training?
Each week, the mid-week track session focuses on a different area of preparation such as conditioning, strength or endurance. Some weeks there will be a guest speaker to either educate or inspire Can Tooers – they will cover nutrition, 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.

On Saturday mornings, participants can look forward to distance road runs. As these guided weekly runs increase in distance, the start time will be earlier. The training groups are broken into smaller groups so that participants can run with people of similar experience and/or pace. This session starts out at about an hour and then gets progressively longer as the runs increase.

Through the remainder of the week, participants have a training guide to follow including 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!!
