JM Coaching Winter Virtual Series

Given the current unpredictable nature of running events across the UK and the importance of staying active & motivated, runners are offered the chance to take part in our Virtual Race Series starting Sunday 1st November, finishing on Thursday 31st December.

Included in your entry;

• Technical JM Coaching branded t-shirt (sizes XS-L only)
• Free Named Race Number,
• Free training plan via TrainingPeaks up to the value of $24.99 (distances 5k-marathon available)
• Your chance to win 3-months free coaching with JM Coaching

JM Coaching has always had a vision to improve both mental and physical health through running and more specifically online run coaching. The aim is to give runners the motivation to continue training given the current unpredictable situation surrounding events in the UK.

Following the success of the Lockdown Virtual Race series with events over 5k, 5-miles, 10k and half marathon we wanted to continue offering the chance for runners to get outside and be active, as well as offering a competitive environment for those who are missing the challenge and buzz of racing and pushing ourselves especially as we enter the winter months and motivation dwindles with my events in Spring pushed back to Autumn 2021.

The goal is to keep people healthy, motivated and positive during this strange time, whilst providing an opportunity for those who'd rather run away from larger groups. By having smaller goals in the lead up to larger targets in 2021 it can help runners focus on the process and maintain motivation over November and December. 

We understand how disappointing and frustrating the steady flow of race cancellations and set backs to your seasons goals are. This is without doubt the most challenging time that our sport has ever faced and we have to stay strong and positive together. We hope that you enjoy taking part in this series, the perfect challenge for beginner runners and more experienced club runners.
