Local running club Ryston Runners is organising this year s training sessions, which will all take place at Lynsport and Leisure Park. The hour-long training sessions are aimed at beginners and improvers to help them prepare for race day on 6 May 2012.
Sessions will take place each Wednesday in March, starting at 7pm. There is no need to book, just turn up, dressed ready to run, and meet in the foyer at Lynnsport.
Roger Partridge, Borough Council Race Director, said: “These pre-race training events have proved very popular in the past. They can help people focus their training and alleviate their nerves if they haven t run in a formal event before. I am delighted that Ryston Runners has offered to run these events. They are a local club, with fully qualified UKA coaches and many years experience in training athletes for all sorts of events.”
Andy Smith from the Ryston Runners, added: “These training sessions are designed to be fun as well as practical. They will be an opportunity to learn some top tips about training and running in race conditions. They will also enable race entrants to meet other runners. We hope that the events will prepare people not only for this race but also for other events they may enter in the future.”
The sessions are free of charge for anyone participating in the Bespak GEAR.
