Around the Bay Training Clinic 2010
Please note that I will not be hosting the Friday evening clinic in 2010. I have updated the schedule and feel free to use it for your training.
I will be coaching an integrated paid Half Marathon / Around the Bay / Marathon clinic in conjuction with Neworld Runners on Plains Road in Burlington on Sundays. If you are interested in joining please contact Neworld Runners (564 Plains Road East, Burlington Ontario, 905-333-0514) for more information.
The weekly clinics are geared towards the first time Bay runner but we welcome runners of all abilities who wish to improve upon their times with training focused on the Northshore hills section of the Around the Bay course.
We run every Sunday morning out of the La Salle Park parking lot in Burlington. At this time we haven't worked out the details but I'm anticipating an 8:00 AM start.
