Club Coaching & Training Times

Probably the best way to keep motivated and to enjoy and improve your running is to train with other people of similar ability and to be mentored by club coaches who's only reward is to see the athletes enjoy and improve their running.

The KJs have a number of official training times during the week which all members are encouraged to attend. All abilities are catered for.

Many other informal KJ groups run across the region and perhaps the best way to learn about these is to attend KJ events and get to know other KJs during post race refreshments.
