Coaching

30 April 2019 - By Marc Underdown

I have been meaning to write this post for a while and it is the exploits over the last few weeks that have given me the reminder to do it.

Marathon season is well underway and there have been some outstanding achievements. But underpinning some of these achievements have been coaches who have designed training plans and guided our runners towards achieving their goals.

This marathon success reflects the role all our coaches perform towards enabling individual and club success. Through the Thursday structured training sessions, as well as other support they give, our coaches are an important part of the club and deserve our appreciation for the time they give towards helping our members.

As you may know, we are still without a coaching coordinator, which is situation I would still like to fix. Having discussed the issues with coaches, we are still trying to find ways of structuring the role to allow anyone to take on the role, whilst ensuring our training arrangements are appropriately overseen by those with the right qualifications. We are also always looking for members who are interested in becoming a coach and joining the team.

If anyone is interested in either of these, please let me or any of the coaches know and we will happily share more information.
