Fell Run Intermediate Church Stretton Shropshire Hills

Discounted for members to £40.  

Intent: This day is part of the progression for the Fan Dance or as part of a fitness regime where you would like to start o familiarise yourself with cross country and fell running. It is designed to add capacity for events such as Fell and Cross country races, mountain and endurance races, Fan Dance race series and more. This day will be a fell run fitness day and weight carried will only be water and warm kit and yet for some there will be a progression in weight slightly of 10lbs-20lbs. Use this session as a gradual progression for a basic level with no or little weight or as a more advanced day with weight up to 20lbs. The day will involve an introduction into Fell running, so you can get a good idea of the importance of pace throughout to ensure you are capable of covering ground over this distance. The day will be slightly shorter than usual due to the running aspect of around 3-4 hours. This is a great opportunity to orientate yourself on these hills, get to understand the concept behind fell running and your own ability and part of the two month progression that will take you to July Fan Dance time and fell running season.

Expectations: If you are not familiar with Weighted fitness then this is a great place to start, nice and gentle with some cross country fell running. There will be evolutions and different levels on the day so we cater for all levels.

Fitness Level: If you are not experienced please do not get put off, we have support staff that are there to facilitate supporting all our levels and we do that well. Come along, thats how you start your journey to be stronger in the hills, its not running for the entire 3-4 hours, its done in parts so we can progress you slowly and at a rate that is achievable. We have evolutions at different points such as hill reps of temp and so you dont have to be part of those so the day can be as easy or as hard as you want to make it. Sign up
