Juvenile Training
Our juvenile training is aimed at creating a FUN environment where the focus is on the overall development of physical capacities, fundamental movement skills and general athleticism/running technique.

Our distance training caters for all disciplines; cross country, track and field (indoor and outdoor), and road racing. There are a number of training groups, so all distances/levels of fitness are catered for….there’s something for everyone. The sessions are well structured, and don’t just focus on ‘clocking up the miles’, but incorporate key elements such as functional movement and strength and conditioning…all with a view to improving your running mechanics and technique.
