Sunday, January 24th, 2016
10 Sundays - January 24 through March 27th - 9:00am to 10:30am.

This gradual training program is designed to prepare participants who are already comfortable running 7-10km on the road to running a 10km trail race. The clinic is geared towards adapting your road running skills to the varied terrain of trail running to enable you to reach your 10km trail race goals at MEC Race 2: The Pace Setter, and most importantly having fun exploring the beautiful trails around Victoria!

Weekly sessions will consist of a pre-run chat/discussion covering topics such as trail safety, form, nutrition, trail gear, and more, followed by a 1-1.5 hour group run session. Note the length of these sessions is longer due to the additional time it takes to run on trails vs road as the terrain is often more technical and undulating. A training plan will be provided to you at the first session and weekly emails will keep you in touch with your coach and on-top of the training plan.

Clinics will run on Sunday mornings starting January 24th through March 27th from 9:00am-10:30am. It's recommended clinic participants join the MEC free run meet-up on Tuesday's at 6pm and Saturdays at 9am.

Participants will meet at the designated trail area set out in calendar. Take note of the google map links to know which parking lot you will be meeting your group at.
