Marathon Training Seminar with Peter McHugh of Run-Fast – Wednesday 15th January

15 November 2019 - By Scott Darney

 

Run-Fast founder and coach Peter McHugh has agreed to come to Witham to provide us with a marathon seminar to help our athletes that are running Spring Marathons or generally looking to improve their training and racing.

The seminar will take place on the evening of Wednesday 15th January at Benton Hall Golf Club, commencing some time between 7:30-8:00. Further details and the time will be confirmed nearer the day.

More about Peter McHugh and Run-Fast:

“Run-Fast was born out of one man’s absolute obsession with running and everything related to it…

Peter McHugh is well connected within the England athletics and running club communities, as well as in the Kenyan and Ethiopian athletics communities.

In 2009 Peter was asked by the organisers of the Carpi Marathon to look after two Kenyan athletes whose manager had not accompanied them to the race in Italy.

Having only travelled to support runners from his local club, Peter accepted and was subsequently asked by the athletes if he would represent them in an official capacity.

Word spread fast and soon Peter was inundated with requests from athletes seeking a manager. Knowing this was not something to take lightly, Peter established Run-Fast Sports Management and opened an altitude training camp in Iten, Kenya (also known as the Home of Champions). The team has gone from strength to strength and Run-Fast represents more than 50 international distance running athletes, who have won races from 5km to ultra-marathon.

A company like no other, Run-Fast has expanded beyond sports management and now comprises London’s largest independent running store, training experiences hosted in the UK and abroad and is the driving force behind the Amba Hotels City of London Mile race.

Peter McHugh is a renowned athletics coach (both domestically and internationally), as well as an IAAF manager, international lecturer, race director and previously president of a London running club.”

 

This event will be free for members of WRC after which we will offer spaces to non-members for a small fee.

Please watch this space for more details on how to sign up as we will need to monitor numbers.

Thanks,

Scott
