Half marathon workshops - UPDATED - new dates added!

Following the unparalleled success of last year’s workshops, UBSport are proud to present a series of workshops designed to help participants’ preparations for the Birmingham Half Marathon.

• 9 September: structuring training & injury prevention
• 7 October: fine tuning performance, mental strategies, nutrition & pacing

MORE DATES ADDED DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND:

• 23 September, 6.30pm, athletics track for drills, followed by a running session with Bud Baldaro
• 14 October: panic stations -  last minute questions with Bud, 6.30pm, Munrow lecture theatre

Speakers on the night will include our own athletics coach and UK Athletics Endurance coach Bud Baldaro, supported by our in-house staff at the Hi-Performance Centre. The sessions are designed to give you everything you need in order to prepare for race day. The first session will focus on training for the half marathon – how to check where you are, different training types and advice on getting it all in will be featured. The second session will focus on refining your preparation for the big day – what to expect, stopping negative thoughts, pacing and nutrition on October 24th.

This session will be tailored to your needs, so feel free to bring along your questions, worries, experiences and question us. If you’re not running the half marathon this year we’d still love to see you – perhaps it will be the motivation you need!

Bud Baldaro is the UK Athletics Marathon Coach, Athletics Coach at the University of Birmingham and Coach for the Tipton Harriers. He is also running consultant to Adidas and a National Coach Mentor (endurance, 10K and above) for England Athletics. He has trained numerous Olympians including Marian Sutton (two time winner of the Chicago Marathon) and helped Tracey Morris improve her time by a massive 1 hour and qualify for the Athens Olympics.
