#MONTHLY RUNNING CHALLENGE SERIES#

We don’t have anything to offer through events or programming indefinitely, so we’re back with another virtual challenge series for late Winter 2021. They will also feature in IOM Newspapers.At worst, this winter can been long, dark, cold, and lonely…and there’s still a month left. If you are interested please email register your interest by Monday 11 May and the first edition of the weekly training plan will be forwarded to you.Īll results will be published on this website and our Facebook page. We hope all runners, joggers, keep fitters, former couch potatoes or however you might class yourself will have a go and take part. Where possible opt for quieter routes and times of the day when you will take on your sessions and challenges. Please ensure you continue to respect social distancing rules and maintain “runners’ responsibility” by being the proactive one when meeting others on your runs. You absolutely don’t need to be part of a running club to take part, the idea is simply to support, motivate and inspire you to kick start or maintain your fitness levels in the current situation.

The results of each monthly challenge will be judged via both time and age grading, allowing runners to compare results across ages and gender. There will also be some additional running hints and tips to help along the way.Īll runners are welcome from those who have just started to those who run regularly and would have competed in local races and park runs. The training plan will be published each Thursday to help you sharpen up your fitness and will include a variety of running sessions to fit around your schedule throughout the week. Round 1 will open between Thursday 4 June to Monday 8 June where you choose the location, the time and simply let your legs do the talking. Manx distance runner and coach, Andy Fox, has prepared a training plan to improve your running fitness with a monthly 5k challenge to monitor your progress.
