Junior Training Materials
This page provides some training materials for our young athletes to try at home.
Training Ideas
The young athlete coaches have circulated some training suggestions for when you are on holiday or not able to attend regular training sessions
Safety: Younger athletes should go with one other responsible person – maybe it is time to get you mum, dad, uncle or big sister/brother running (or cycling) with you! But we have included some ideas if your ‘responsible person’ stays in one place to watch you.
Try to do at least 3 different sessions each week
We’ve given a guide for both Under 11’s and Over 11’s but see what works for you.
