What does this mean?

Local events are usually low key and in the 'localised' area, ideal for newcomers to try the sport and Training events are non competitive and used for training and coaching, aimed at members of the club, but they can attract people from neighbouring clubs, and are often ideal for newcomers to try the sport. Regional events attract participants from around the local Region, National events are high quality competitions that will attract people from far away, Major events are Major Events such as a British Championships.

Overview

For this Coaching Session the focus is on Relay skills – It is intended for those taking part in the forthcoming JK and/or British Relays, particularly those with limited experience of such events…including any juniors that are still thinking about it!

The coach will be Derek Fryer assisted by Carol McNeill

The training session will be based around a simulated RELAY ‘race’ with guidance on relay race preparation, procedure and what to think about before, during and after a relay race. The ‘race’ won’t be timed but to get most out of the session please come prepared to go round short loops as quickly as you can. This session should be fun and will not be about technical navigation (Ford Park is easy O) but doing simple things quickly and efficiently.

Time - Please come in time to start the session at 10.30, planning to finish by 12.30. NB We are following from parkrun which uses the same area, so either do both or time your arrival for after parkrunners depart.

Clothing - Bring suitable clothing for the area and weather conditions – have a jacket etc that can be put on/off easily between runs.
