Wear clothes that you’re comfortable to run in. Obviously trainers are a must. For sessions in the dark, please wear high viz or brighter colours. You may also feel more comfortable with a sports bra.

Please travel as light as possible, as I will not be able to carry items for you. If it’s a warm day it’s a good idea to bring water. If you have an inhaler please carry this with you. Please leave your headphones at home. I appreciate that some people like to run with music, but you’ll need to be able to hear me during the session and it means you'll be able to chat to each other.

The sessions will generally last around one hour. During the first weeks of the plan, they may be slightly shorter.

Sessions will go ahead if it is raining. I will only cancel/reschedule sessions if the weather is dangerous (i.e. ice. thunderstorms).

Please let me know that you’re not coming to the group session. We’ll then know not to wait for you. You can find the details of the group run for that week on the 12 week plan, if you’re able to do it in your own time. I’m not able to issue refunds for any sessions you miss.

Yes, don't worry if you miss a run due to work/family commitments or feeling unwell. It happens to all of us. Remember the plan is there as guide. Avoid trying to catch up on the missed run, as you risk overtraining and getting injured. Instead complete the next run on the plan. Even if you miss several sessions in a row, do keep going. It may mean repeating a week which is fine. I'll discuss with you about where in the plan to restart and adapt the group sessions for you.
