Each session will kick off at FAT HQ, where we’ll all meet collectively. This is your chance to get to know your fellow runners, ask any questions, and get familiar with the program.
Our sessions are designed for all levels of runners. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced marathoner, you’ll find the exercises adaptable to your fitness level. The program combines strength and conditioning with running to enhance muscle endurance, prevent injuries, and improve running efficiency. You'll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded runners, share experiences, and motivate each other throughout the program. Each session builds on the previous one, gradually increasing the intensity to help you achieve your personal best.
Equipment:
Our FAT resistance bands are a key part of our training. They are versatile tools that will help in strengthening your muscles, improving your range of motion, and enhancing your overall stability. Bands will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you have a preferred set.
