Get Ready To Race With Powerade and Nike

11 AUG2010

Runners in the 30th Great North Run on September 19 now have the opportunity to take up a six week training plan courtesy of Powerade and Nike. Starting on August 15, all levels of runner can follow the pre race plan in South Shields, just south of Gypsies Green Stadium.

The Race Ready plan will include a tailored warm up session, 5K paced run with qualified coaches and professional advice on keeping your body in shape. Runners will also take part in a post run warm down, have an opportunity to trial the new Nike LunarGlide+ 2 and Nike+ SportBand as well as getting free Nike and Powerade give-aways.

Everyone who attends will be given a Bupa Great North Run 30th anniversary goody bag and will be able to plan their training through the six weeks and use the sessions to cover many different aspects of pre race training, including speed, strength and endurance.

To sign up for the first training session, send an email to Race Ready Training, with your name, age, email and phone number and the title 'Great North Training'.

The Bupa Great North Run attracts over 50,000 runners each year to take part in the half marathon race distance and is one of the most popular races of its length in the world.
