Feedback: Squad weekend
I had a great time and really enjoyed the week end. Meeting the coaches was good to put names to faces and each coach gave excellent sessions and advice.
It was also good to chat to other athletes on the course during our down time.
I thought the intensity and length of each session was perfect and the ratio of coaches to athletes meant that we all felt well looked after and there was always some one to ask or give advice during the day.
The team aspect brought every one together so even the shyer people in the group were given an opportunity to mix more easily and the meal re enforced that.
Timing in the year was good for a lot of people as it will bring them out of the winter with a bang and renewed energy as well as being far enough away from races that more specific training wasn’t needed for each athlete.
The run though was very good, as the coach ratio is small every one got a lot out of it and it seemed that a lot of people don’t get the chance to run trails very often.
All in all an excellent couple of days that I would recommend to anyone of all abilities / experience, I will definitely come again and would strongly consider a longer course if it fitted into work family etc..
