If you have entered Great Eastern in October what better way to get ready for it that to try the 'Get Fit 4' sessions. Aimed at helping athletes, young and not so young, those new to running and those more experienced to get in the best shape for the half marathaon. Of course these sessions won't just help for one race but will be aimed at ensuring you can achieve the targets you set yourself for any event.

On the track there will be two sessions, each led by a Coach and an Assistant coach. One will be a Zero to 5k session, progressing over the 7 weeks to enable complete beginners to complete the 5k Fun Run. The other will be focused on those already able to run 5k and wishing to develop their speed and fitness.

The runs from the track will be on an out and back route. All groups will run out for 25 minutes, turn around and run back ensuring that no-one is left behind as those at the back become the ones at the front. This run will be with any Pacers who attend, who will run at their target pace and volunteers from the local road running clubs who will run at a variety of paces.

Supported by Vivacity and Peterborough City Council togetrher with GPAN, these sessions will be led by qualified coaches and will be a mix of on track for speedwork and out and about the streets and byways of Peterborough for endurance. Come and give it a try, plus it's free!

GPAN would like runners from the local clubs to come along and take part in a 50 minute run (25 mins out and 25 mins back, ensuring that no-one is left behind as those at the back will become the ones at the front after 25 minutes!!) on a picturesque route from the Athletics track along the Nene towards Orton. You can run at whatever pace you like, but please be prepared to say what pace you will run at so if there is anyone attending the session that wants to run at that pace they will be able run with you.

Please note, there is no track alternative for volunteer/experienced club runners.
