This session we will talk about how to train your body to go faster - aka 'speed training' and will have guidance from Averil West (in her prime was one of Nelson's top runners), Greg Lineham (Race Walking) and Nadja from Nordic Walking Nelson - for those of you that would like to try walking with poles.

This week's session

This week we meet at the Botanics at 6.30pm. The Botanics is the bottom of the Centre of NZ track on Milton St. Bring your running/walking shoes, as we will head off for a thirty to fourty minute jog or walk with the NBS Nelson Striders after listening to Lyndon Chandler from Nayland Physiotherapy talk about injury prevention when starting out. Should be a fun session.
