A qualified Leader in Running Fitness?

Would you like to train to be a leader in running fitness? Would you like the assurance that a qualification can bring? Is this you….?

“I’d love to get more of my friends running”
“A few of us run at lunchtime from work but no-one really knows what to do”
“We’re training for the local 10k, it would be good to know more”
