Hi Harriers,
Happy New Year! Looks like those of you who ran at the BDL running league cross country at the weekend had a wonderful time (despite the cold) and produced an excellent result for the Harriers!
For those of you that don’t know me, I’m Alex a UKSCA Strength and Condition coach working for the Derbyshire Institute of Sport and I’m an Associate lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Derby.
I have been working with the Harriers for getting onto 2 year’s now delivering Strength and Conditioning sessions specifically targeted for runners. Strength training has many well-known benefits for runners such increased movement economy and therefore increases in performance, reduced injury risk and increased speed of recovery from injuries. The next block (block #17) of 6-week Strength & conditioning training is starting this week on Wednesday the 17th and Thursday the 18th of January.
There is no better time than the winter seasons for runners to start preparing for their summer races! We have spaces available in our weekly strength & conditioning sessions so if you are interested in starting some strength training or would like to get back into strength training, then please come along so my team and I can work with you to achieve your goals.
The sessions take place on either a Wednesday evening 19:00 – 20:00 or on Thursday morning 6:30am – 7:30pm. The sessions are held at the University of Derby Sports Centre, Kedleston Road, Derby, DE22 1GB. This next block of training (block #17) consists of 6 weeks coached Strength and Conditioning training designed by a UKSCA accredited Strength & Conditioning coach (1 session a week).
The price of each session is £7 per person. This next block will run from the 17/01/24 – 21/02/24 (6 weeks) and therefore, the price of this whole block per person is £42. The sessions start back up again this week and you are all welcome to come along!If you are interested in joining the Strength and Conditioning sessions, please use the link below to sign up and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me on messenger or email me at [alexvanenis17@gmail.com]
