As I am attending the Level 2 Intermediate Recreational Running Coach course this weekend, I decided this weeks posts would be running related.

Although I have previously coached clients for running training, I never got an accredited qualification (just in-house recognition as a coach).

I will be completing my 1-day (0830 to 1700) course with Athletics Australia and look forward to learning the latest coaching techniques. It will also be interesting to observe any cultural differences (with regards to running) between Australia and the UK. Providing I pass the course (!), I will become an accredited athletics coach with Athletics Australia.

Finally, it is pleasant running in the Australian sun with a slight breeze as opposed to wind, rain, hail and snow back in Scotland!
