Motivational words from John Mullen - Coach for u13 to u17 squad
Hi All
This is added encouragement to take part in the Great Scottish Junior run.
In the last year and a half the club has increased to 1.5 hour training on a Wednesday. Mark Saez has introduced a Saturday morning training session. We introduced technical drills and got these demo’ed by Derek Hawkins (Scottish Marathon runner) and his dad Robert. All children now do dynamics and technical drills weekly as well as core strength work.
Richard Lawton and myself completed our UK Athletics (Coach in Running Fitness) level two badges in Jan 2016 and we now planned weekly sessions based around the curriculum and we have certainly seen results in our athletes technique and running style and improvements in speed and strength.
The next piece of the jigsaw should be some races. Some are already doing parkruns which is great, but why not all take a look at the link for the Great Scottish Junior Run and think about entering if your 15 years old or younger.
Thanks
John Mullen
