Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

FREE Sub 4 Hour Marathon Training Guide

With this years London Marathon looming, the Leggit team have been working hard to put together a FREE Intermediate training programme for runners looking to complete a Marathon in a Sub 4 hour time.

Our programmes are written by our resident Personal Trainer Pete Morton who specialises in running and span a 16 week period ( just enough time to get your training up to scratch for the Virgin London Marathon if you’re quick!)

The programme will test your ability to pace yourself and helps you learn to train at an easy, medium and hard pace (rather than flat out all of the time) which will help you to not only complete the distance, but also cross the finish line in a commendable sub four hour Marathon time.

In addition to the programme, you also have the added support of tracking the progress of Sam, a member of the Leggit.co.uk team who is attempting the London Marathon for the first time in 2010.

A training programme is a great way to keep motivated and to build up your strength and speed slowly and safely – 26.2 miles is no walk in the park and the last thing you want is to over exert yourself and cause an injury. Our training programmes are written by our resident Personal Trainer Pete Morton who specialises in running. The training programme teaches you how to pace yourself and trains you to recognise the difference between running at a easy, medium or hard pace (rather than flat out all of the time).

So what are you waiting for? Why not download Leggit’s FREE Beginner’s Marathon Training Guide today?

Cancer Research 10K – A Big Success at Ashton Court, Bristol 2009

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Runners attending Bristol’s 3rd Cancer Research 10K, held at Ashton Court are well deserving of a Congratulations as they ran through one of September’s hottest days, across a challenging course including some pretty harsh inclines throughout the race.

cr_logo

The 10K kicked off at 11am and over 1000 entrants made their way up the first of many hills on the course which meandered through the Ashton Court Estate.

Definitely one of the more challenging 10K courses out there, Ashton Court has a number of hills and sharp bends and the midday sun was definitely not working in the runners’ favour.

The Leggit team were there in full force cheering on the participants (and wherever possible trying to drownout the idiotic commentry coming from the local radio presenters who were broadcasting from the finish line!)

All in all, a fantastic Race and certainly a great achievement for all of those who completed it! Leggit will be supporting the Cancer Research 10K events taking place throughout 2010 so keep your eyes peeled for information on next years dates!
