Hitchin 10 Event Reviews
Unique insight from attendees of our most recent event

David Wardle – Ex England Junior Middle Distance Runner writes
So most of my beliefs on training revolve around the ‘Lydiard Method’… in simple terms you build a solid foundation of conditioning with a large base of aerobic training before you even consider doing anything too specific like speed work or ‘hard’ running.
