URC TRAINING DAYS

Mountain & Trail Sessions

Recces - Running Skills - Navigation - Poles - Confidence Building

This session is for small intimate groups that want some practical input to trail and mountain running when

  • you have a specific race route to recce
  • you want practical mountaincraft guidance and help
  • you want an introduction to running in the wilds with company

As much as I love the monthly online connection with my athletes, there is nothing better than getting out into the hills and hitting the trails in great company.

This is for 1:1s and small groups - up 3 - who want some practical input to being in the hills with someone with mountain and trail running experience. As a Mountain Leader, ultra runner and trail running coach, that's where I fit in!


Topics that could be covered in the sessions include:

  • Navigation techniques
  • Night running
  • Running with poles
  • Trail running technique
  • Kit assessments
  • Emergency bivving
  • Nutrition tactics
  • Safe scrambling
  • River crossings

These sessions are arranged to suit both diaries and can be in the Lake District, North/Mid Wales, Yorkshire Dales or the Peak District. The route could be over a section of a target race route - Spine, Dragon's Back, Lakeland, Punk Panther, GB Ultras, etc. or we can create our own. The choice is yours! An element of choosing a safe route for the group and the weather will also be a factor but all this can be discussed at the time of booking.

Cost is £220 per day + out-of-pocket expenses, that's only £73 each for 3 people for a full day out. The times and meeting points will be arranged and are flexible to suit, but the "day" will be for up to 8 hours.


Use the chat booking facility if you want to discuss your ideas or complete the enquiry form below.
