This will be on grass around a small circuit so the coach can keep an eye on everybody and give advice and encouragement to participants. You maybe videoed or photographed during the session to help correct poor form and to give participant a better understanding of their abilities.
During the course we will introduce some more light hearted group exercises to show that training can be fun as well as having a benefit to your well being.
You may also get homework!! Don't worry its not compulsory, its trying to get you out running on your own, with you children or friends. We will also create a WhatsApp group so you can arrange to run with other members of the group where possible.
