Saturday 13th April - Group Coaching Session

This week the group had a 'special event' - Macclesfield Harriers (via the Macc Half Marathon) sponsored a coaching session with Bashir Hussain (England Athletics).

The group were very keen and 25 people turned out on a wet, cold and windy afternoon to learn new techniques from the expert. The session lasted 2 hours and touched upon running technique, endurance, stretching, posture, nutrition and lots more.

After the session we had cake and in the evening a number of people undid all the hard work and went out for a curry.

Hopefully we can all try out the new ideas in the coming weeks and we can use each other to help.

A video of part of the event can be found on YouTube by clicking HERE

There are a few images here on the BLOG but all the images from the event can be found on FLICKR by clicking HERE - some of the images are blurred as the camera lens got a bit wet but I have left them in so that you can all examine your own running styles.

Jenny has written up an event report (click HERE) which has been given to Macc Harriers for publicity purposes.

Thanks to everyone for coming along and for making it a success.
