Saturday morning for the earlier risers there will be an early pre breakfast run at 7:30 followed by breakfast at 8. After breakfast we will hold the first of our group coaching talks and Q&A sessions before having the option of a threshold/tempo run at 11:00. After lunch we will have an interactive session with some of our special guests before a hill session followed by group stretching and conditioning session later in the afternoon. In the evening we will hold a talk on nutrition and recovery with some light hearted competitions followed by an evening meal. Some will head to bed after...some to the pub!
