The basic outline for the week...
We'll be staying approx 1 hour from Malaga Airport, close to fantastic trails and stunning scenery. You'll just need to get to the airport, on the scheduled day, we'll be there to meet you and bring you over to the house. Most meals are included too so aside from any souvenirs or odd snacks and drinks that you fancy you'll be taken care of. Full details are just being finalised. On the last coaching holiday we had a local chef come in to cook for us on the last night too. |
Each day there will be a short discussion/ workshop on a different aspect of running, a mobility training session in the morning, different running sessions each day which can be adapted to your personal goals each with a different focus, hill training, descending, speed training, long runs and a couple of additional easy runs for those who want to. You'll have plenty to do but also some time to relax and enjoy your holiday of course!
You'll be running through some stunning scenery including gorges, lake trails, technical trails and some fantastic and varied terrain. How fit do I need to be? Ideally you should be comfortably able to run 10 miles in one go as a minimum and be running 3-4 times per week at least. If you're not sure, please just ask, I'll personally be jumping on the phone with each applicant to check we're a good fit and to ensure this really is going to be a great week for you, There's no pressure to 'keep up with everyone else' nobody will be left behind in the hills! |

You will need to book and pay for your own flights to Malaga. I personally use skyscanner.net to find the best flights.Iif you're booking in from the UK you can get a return flight for between £60 and £150 from the main airports depending on the time of year (check out the best airport for you on Skyscanner I suggest) it's around 3 hours from England to Malaga. |
