Training Days
We host two exclusive Whizz-Kidz Training Days for our Whizz-Kidz runners during the year; one at the begining of February in time for our London, Paris and Brighton runners, as well as one in September which suits those who are taking part in International Marathons such as New York and Berlin, those running the Great North Run and all other autumnal events. All who attend share the same goal of raising as much as they can for disabled children.
Our Training Days are a fantastic opportunity to meet our Team Whizz-Kidz Coach, the Events Team and one of our amazing Ambassadors.
A typical training day itinerary:
- Training run around Hyde Park with our team Coach Depending on what event you are doing, where you are with your training or if you are recovering from an injury, we have a distance to suit you (18, 12 or 6 miles)
- Showers at Fitness First
- Lunch
- Fundraising talk
To provide you with new ideas and talk through ways to help you go the extra mile with your fundraising - A talk from one of our Whizz-Kidz Ambassadors
Our ambassadors are a true asset to Whizz-Kidz and we think you'll feel the same way once you've attended our Training Day and heard first hand how Whizz-Kidz and other marathon runners have helped them. - Q&A with our Whizz-Kidz Coach
Our Coach will give you tips on nutrition, hydration, stretching, running techniques and anything else you care to ask him. This is really invaluable to many of our runners and can make all the difference to a first-time marathon runner or someone wanting to beat their PB.
