Kerry O’Flaherty, who has just returned from competing in the Olympic Games in Rio, will be hosting a Cross-Country Training Camp during the Halloween school break – on the mornings of the 3rd & 4th November.

The Camp will be targeted at junior athletes aged 13-17 who have shown talent in endurance running events – for example at County Down, Ulster or Irish Schools level. The key objectives will be to help individuals think about what they want to achieve over the coming winter and how they might go about doing it.

The camp will run between 10:00 and 12:00 on 3rd & 4th November and will be based at Shimna College, Newcastle.

Kerry will cover aspects such as;

1. Mobilisation and core stability for running;
2. Goals/Targets for the season (keeping a training diary to plan and monitor progress);
3. Types of training for Endurance (fartlek, hills, tempos – including a practical running session on each of the two days);
4. Building confidence and self belief.

The cost for the two day camp will be £35.

The attendees will receive direct coaching and advice from Kerry, a ‘@runkerryrun Academy’ t-shirt and a training diary.

Kerry would welcome coaches and parents to nominate any talented junior athletes that would be interested in taking their running to the next level.
