*** Moving Up to Half Marathon 2023 ***
This course starts 18th September 2023 and is for runners who are comfortable with the 10k distance, with the aim to complete the MK Winter Half Marathon in 2023 (or similar event). This course will be set sessions looking at building running skills and endurance up the distance in a fun and friendly environment.
We will be following a structured 12-week training plan with up to 5 or 6 activities each week, and our team will be leading weekly sessions to support you and help develop as a runner, in a friendly group environment. Other training activities can be undertaken alone, within the group or within the Club structure.
We will add you to your own Facebook group and provide you with weekly updates, support, advice and hopefully a bit of fun, along the way.
