Coached Group Training for Bay2Bay

Embark’ s coached group training for the Ocean Basket Bay2Bay run, which takes place on the 7^th of January 2018, starts on 17 October 2017. The Bay2Bay run is from Camps Bay to Hout Bay and back. You can run one way (15 Km), or you can choose to run there and back (30 Km).

This is a great run to train for during summer, and gives a nice option for the 15kms, or to step up your half marathon training and aim towards 30kms! There will be 2 groups for the program, one for each distance. There will be 4 coached group sessions per week and will be a mix of hill work, speed work, strength work and long runs. It’s fun and social and everyone gets something out the session, beginner or advanced athletes. There is always a coach at the sessions.

Torpedo SwimRun – 19 Nov

Most of us ride or run the stretch of road between Hout Bay and Clifton at least once a week but have never experienced the varying trail and rocky sections, not to mention the interesting water entries and exists that this coastline offers. The inaugural Torpedo SwimRun, held in January, was a fantastic experience and a terrific showcase of this, in and out of the water, between Sandy Bay and Clifton. The next event is set to take place on 19 November. For more details, visit: http://torpedoswimrun.com/
