Pre-Registration - Marathon Q+A session with David Chalfen

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED

This event is FREE however pre-registration is required.  Please signup ASAP.  The event will be held after the Monday social run which on this date will be the Bridges route.

The purpose of this session is to provide an opportunity to discuss training techniques and best practice in preparation for a marathon. The session will be split into two halves. The first will be David speaking. The key areas of focus will be: 

• Periodized training (general to specific)
  
• Marathon frequency
• Cross training/tri training
• Strength/conditioning/running movement

The second half will be a open-floor Q+A. Then we'll wrap up and have a drink with David where you can ask him (or other members of the club) questions on a one-to-one basis.

The session is free and open to everyone from a first timer to the 2hr30 runners in the club. David is aware of the variation in experience and will tailor the session to cater for everyone.
