Coronavirus and Running / Athletics

This is very disheartening for all concerned, but hopefully it won't be for too long.

Back on Track

Both literally and metaphorically, we'll be back on track from Tuesday 29th March.

We are super excited to be able to get everything going again and look forward to seeing everyone enjoying this great sport of ours.

If you are not currently achieving what you feel is possible, we can help. A bit of expert guidance with your sport can really help and we are here to assist you in any way we can to take you to the next level.

We've spent 20 years helping athletes and many of our coaches are competitors too, so we know how to help. We also know how to help people through hard times, because, although no-one has been through this before, we regularly help, support and bring back to full training athletes who have been ill or injured, or who haven't trained for a period of time.

We are happy to be able to offer our full coaching menu again, for all the options please go to Momentum Sports Coaching section.

We have put out "Daily Challenges" to give people something to just mix up their training with a little exercise or set of exercises that can be done at home.

It is even possible to convert a lot of your normal training into training at home or in a small area. Here we have an example of what can be done with hurdles.
