New Leader Courses Go Live From 1st July 2008
The long awaited Jog Leaders Course will go live in England from 1st July 2008. The course superceeds the existing Fitness In Running & Walking (FIRW) Course that is currently delivered across all 9 England regions.
Pilot Courses
The Jog Leaders Course has been in pilot stage since Summer 2007 and England Athletics believes that the new Jog Leaders Course will offer affiliated clubs, organisations and local groups with a tool from which participation in recreational jogging, can boom.
Phased Approach
Led by Paul Eales, the Jog Leaders Course will form part of a 2 phased approach to the development of the Jog England programme.
Phase 1 will consist of the offer and delivery of the Jog Leaders Course (complete with associated Jog Leader Manual) and other free downloadable resources (available from the England website) that will enable local groups to be established in a safe and enjoyable way.
Long Term Vision
Phase 2 will look at developing the broader potential of the Jog England Programme as a membership based scheme that could appeal to local authorities, businesses and other groups. This is similar to the way the successful Jog Scotland programme is currently delivered.
Further Details
For further information on the Jog Leaders Courses and associated resources, please contact Paul Eales who is leading this work peales@englandathletics.org
