Train Smarter: Your Guide to 10K & Marathon Success

Whether you're preparing for a new challenge, or looking to improve your next performance, this seminar is designed to help you get more from your training.

Join us for an engaging and practical session covering the key principles of successful 10K and marathon training. We'll explore how to train consistently, reduce the risk of injury, and arrive at race day feeling confident and well prepared.

This isn't about following a one-size-fits-all plan. Instead, you'll learn the reasoning behind effective training so you can adapt it to your own goals, experience, and lifestyle.

Whether you're new to running or an experienced club runner looking for fresh ideas, you'll leave with practical advice that you can put into action straight away.

  • A Brief history of the marathon with an interactive start to the seminar
  • Training principles for both 10K and marathon distances
  • Balancing easy runs, speed work and long runs
  • Fuel, hydration and recovery
  • Adaptation, What is it and why is it important
  • Common training mistakes and how to avoid them
  • Staying motivated throughout a training cycle
  • Questions and answers
