THE RUN ACADEMY
Based in Melbourne's Inner North
The Run Academy is aimed at young athletes who want to improve or strengthen their running capabilities. We cater to athletes as young as eight and plan all our training sessions for the individual. We are primarily based in the Inner Northern Metropolitan suburbs of Melbourne. We strive to make all our sessions fun, engaging, educational and challenging. The sessions are run every Monday and Thursday during the school year. During the school holidays, we are able to write programs for each athlete and help them achieve their personal goals.
The Run Academy is not just about track and field runners or cross country runners reaching the highest level of running in school sports or state competitions. It also helps athletes from other sports, in particular; football, netball, basketball, soccer and hockey. By building a sound endurance base and focused speed work, young athletes will flourish in their chosen sports.
