Thursday 2nd May the session will be strength & Core training. This session will take place in the squash court at Witham Leisure Centre.

A warm up for this session we will be having a 1 mile warm up run outside the leisure centre – route described during briefing. This warm up is essential, so please turn up at the reception of the leisure centre ready for a 7:30pm briefing then departure. Once back at the leisure centre, we will complete the strength training in squash court.

The strength part of the class will be focusing on legs & core to build better balance & control, improve endurance, run faster & build power.
