All our sessions are overseen by qualified coaches, holding UKA or BTF qualifications at Level 1 or 2, or Leadership in Running Fitness.
Coaches are happy to give training advice to any member and can write tailored spring or autumn marathon plans, subject to availability. They all work full time, so please email them outside office hours where you can.
