Poles Training

All our poles sessions take place on the beautiful Waseley Hills on weekends from 9am, based on availability.

Get confident using poles to help you move more efficiently, while avoiding common mistakes that can lead to annoyance for your fellow trail users or injury for yourself.

We offer two poles-specific sessions, which can be done 1:1 or in a small group with numbers capped at 5 so that everyone gets the maximum individual coaching and has a chance to ask any questions they might have.

Intro to poles - £50

• 60-90minute introduction to running poles, meeting at the Waseley Visitor Centre/Cafe

• Session includes individualised coaching from properly fitting poles to your body and how to hold them, and takes you through the main techniques for running and walking on different gradients for maximum efficiency

• The workshop ends with a short (c.5km) run around the Waseley Hills where you will get to put your new skills into practice on a variety of surfaces and types of trail

• If you do not own a set of running poles, we have a small number of Harrier z-poles you can use for the workshop

• Additional attendees can be added for £20pp for small groups of up to 5
