Running Coaching with Steve Herriman – as part of his programme to qualify as a Triathlon Level 2 coach.

Using Shobnall Leisure Centre running track

The first coaching session was held on Tuesday 26th Feb.  25 enjoyed a coolish evening focussing on running form drills + sets of 6 minute track running sets.  A really enjoyable run session and was undoubtedly popular with a range of  abilities from novice runners to those gifted with a bit of pace.  

The 2nd session – not to be missed.  All welcome.

When: Meet at Bannatynes at 6pm on Tuesday 5th March and a moderate jog to Shobnall or alternatively meet at Shobnall track at 6.15pm

The running coaching session will include:

• Good running form – part 2
• Drills to assist in improving your running form
• Interval running session

The coaching will last until 7pm followed by a run back to Bannatynes

Cost is £2.85 per person for using the running track

All welcome – whatever your running ability.  Guaranteed good fun and some great learnings to promote improving your running.

 

This year’s event will increase the number of Tri Star 2 athletes racing per region with three boys and three girls being able to compete.

The same number of athletes will compete in the Tri Star 3 category, creating a team of 12 athletes in total.

The 2013 event will not include a youth category following recommendations in the 2011 British Triathlon Competition Review; however, Eton Dorney will also host an elite youth and junior race, which will be included in the 2013 British Triathlon Youth and Junior Super Series.
