Endurance sessions, preparation for races through coaching sessions. I work 1-1 with seniors to develop and support coaching plans for specific races from 5k to ultra-marathons.

Lesley Falkous
Coach in Running Fitness(CiRF), First Aid
I’ve undertaken every distance from track 100m to ultra marathon with many triathlon’s and duathlon’s thrown in to mix it up.
I don’t have a specialty, I just want to encourage everyone to enjoy their running regardless of distance and try to do something different once in a while

Kandis Watson
Leader in Running Fitness(LiRF) & First Aid
I began with road running preferring half marathons. I have since completed numerous marathons, 10ks and 5ks before making a transition to full time sprinting.
I enjoy training runs typically suited to road runners, although I love to support anyone in their goals and there is no such thing as too fast or too slow.
