The Beacon Hill Striders ‘Training Model’ is based on sound training principles derived from the best of traditional and modern-day training methods/theory. The programme is designed to build and develop speed, strength and stamina.
The principles on which this programme is based are:
- An emphasis on the long-term development of each runner, with a focus on establishing a firm foundation of fitness and endurance through predominantly aerobic activity
- An emphasis on focusing on 2 key running sessions per week, with ample easy/steady running & cross-training to consolidate fitness and aid recovery between key sessions
- Training sessions that are challenging, varied and fun (mostly in natural surroundings)
- Training elements that are balanced (see item below) to ensure an all round development of speed, stamina, and strength.
