Bespoke running coaching for locked-down footballers
While organised football coaching isn’t possible during lockdown, we want to see if we can convert a reasonable level of football fitness into competitive-level endurance running.
We’re offering free coaching advice to London-based footballers currently unable to train with their clubs.
What you’ll get:
bespoke plans and workouts from our fully-qualified, experienced coaches via email and WhatsApp
the chance to make the most of the lockdown period where running is still accessible
the opportunity to return to football once lockdown lifts as the fittest player in your league.
