SATURDAY PARKRUN SESSIONS

Parkrun is a brilliant initiative and here at UP Coaching we love this concept. Athletes regularly attend parkrun for a tempo or time trial session which includes a thorough warm up, tempo paced 5km and cool down. Some athletes will run extra distances at tempo pace after the parkrun, for example those training for marathons and longer.

parkruns are a great way to practise racing too! It gives you the opportunity in a relaxed, supportive environment to practise your racing and hone your pre and post race routines.

UP Coaching athletes regularly attend Lawson parkrun (trail), Penrith Lakes parkrun (road/cross country and The Ponds parkrun (road). Coaches are regularly in attendance to help and support athletes.

All parkrun sessions start at 7:40, with the 5km parkrun starting at 8am

There is no charge for the Saturday parkrun sessions. Please add UP Coaching as your ‘Club’ during the registration process.

COST

FREE

There is no charge for the Saturday parkrun sessions as this is a Free Global Health Initiative.

No need to preregister! Simply turn up, check in and join in.
