Who can join?

Anyone can join, anywhere in the world, as the training programmes will be sent via web based programme and communications via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter.

 

Registration Fee (R900)

A once off Registration Fee, payable on registering, to cover the following:

• Meeting or Skype with the Coach (Alec Riddle) to set short, medium and long term goals and identify key races for the year ahead. The Coach will also ascertain current fitness and ability level. 

• AR will provide an overview of his training philosophy in this meeting.

• Capturing personal data and goals & setting up your training account in Training Peaks.

• Includes cost of a top Quality Team T-Shirt which will be supplied within 3 months of signing up.

.

Monthly Fee (Adults R300pm):

A monthly fee, payable monthly in advance, to cover the following:

• An updated monthly programme, personalised by Alec to your ability, fitness and hours available. The programme is focussed on time on legs vs distance covered.

• The programme will be uploaded to a web based account each month and you will be provided with a link, username and password. This facility will provide details (explanation) of each session, as well as time, or effort guidelines. You will be encouraged to log your completed sessions, enabling AR to view your progress.

• A monthly Park Run (or 5km Time Trial) will be encouraged, as this enables AR to gauge your fitness and improvement on a monthly basis, before updating your programme for the following month.

• Communication to the Coach via the web based programme (post session comments) or e-mail

• Annual targeted race (trip) where we try and attend as a group to build team spirit.

Note: This is not a running club, but a training group. We are not in competition with running clubs for their athletes, but would like to help their athletes get better if they do want to join Bay Striders. Our runners can run races with a temporary licence number in the Bay Striders Team T-Shirt (or any top of their choice) or for their running club.
