Do you want to become the next Paula Radcliffe, Alistair Brownlee or just become a Puma?

On 13th April 2016 Northowram Pumas Running Club launched it’s juniors section.

Who is the club for?

Our Juniors running club is open to anyone between the ages of 5 and 18.

For our Junior Pumas that are below school year 3 (so those in receptions, year 1 or year 2) the sessions will run from the start of April to the end of September.

For those Juniors Pumas that are in school year 3 or above, our sessions will run throughout the year (but our coaches do need a bit of time off so we’ll be taking a break over some of the school holidays).

Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who has run before; our coaching team will tailor activities to your ability.

What does it involve?

Each week there’ll be a variety of training session to improve your running, these will include:

  • Building strength and stamina
  • Working on running techniques
  • Running related games
  • Having fun

You’ll be training with a qualified coach and coaching assistants, between them they have a lot of years and many many miles under their belts. Everyone on the coaching team is 100% committed to making sure you receive quality support and coaching.

With a mixture of activities that include time on the playing field mixed with on/off road running away from the sports club. There’ll also be a few opportunities to put your new found running skills to the test in some runs organised by the Pumas.

Do I need anything?

Because this is England, and we’ll be training outside, you’ll need to come prepared!

So remember to bring:

  • A waterproof jacket
  • Suitable trainers
  • Hats and gloves (if it’s especially chilly!)
  • From September – Hi Viz clothing (head torches and flashing arm bands would be an advantage)

Running can be thirsty work, so we’d also recommend bringing a drink with you.

Where and when is it?

The sessions will be held at Northowram Community Sports & Activity club:

Westercroft View
Northowram
Halifax
West Yorkshire
HX3 7EU

 

Sessions will run every Wednesday from 5pm to 6pm.
