Experience the benefits of squad training to help unlock your potential
Having company for your hard run sessions is one of the easiest and best ways to help you reach your potential. Training in a group helps by:
- Creating accountability - when you know others will be there, it encourages us to be there too.
- Builds consistency - whether you're feeling great, or you're feeling tired, training in a group can help us to train more consistently from session to session, even if motivation is lacking or we're feeling tired.
- Brings some enjoyment to the experience of hard training - pushing ourselves is always a bit easier and more enjoyable when we're doing it with others. It allows us to focus on running with others, rather than focusing on how hard it feels.
Coaches on hand to guide you
We have coaches leading every Tuesday session, to supervise, provide feedback, and help you make sense of how much and how hard to run.
Our Friday sessions are community-led, and coach-designed. Prior to the workout, squad members will be able to use our group WhatsApp to ask any questions of the coaches beforehand.
All of our sessions have been designed to be adaptable for different fitness levels, different goals, and different training experiences. For each session, our coaches will help you decide exactly how to tailor it to your current fitness and goals.
Can't make every session? Complete virtually on your own too.
We understand that it may not be possible for you to make it to every session in person. When you sign up, you will have access to a squad WhatsApp group, where training sessions will be posted the day before, and coaches will be available to answer questions. So, if you can't make it and want to complete the session on your own, you'll have access to it.
