Course Overview

The Level 2 Intermediate Recreational Running Coach Accreditation course trains coaches to develop the fundamental technical and strategic skills for runners training for 5km through to marathon events. It develops your coaching skills in communication and instruction, safety, organisation and the management of groups. It also develops your skills and understanding of fundamental drills, movements and training principles for coaching recreational runners. It is particularly useful for personal trainers who are looking to move into the endurance and long run training space.
