“Training for excellence, with excellent training.”
When you cross the finish line of the Kaikoura Whale Run you will have accomplished something very special.
Designed for Beginner runners who are looking to complete their first half marathon event, the primary goal of this training plan is to prepare you to COMPLETE the Whale Run.
Crafted by myself, Ray Boardman PGDipSportsMed, PGDipRehab, PGCertSc (Exercise Science), BSc (Anatomy), DipSportsStudies this plan encapsulates my passion for the sport, my experience from completing dozens of Half and Full Marathon distance events and my success coaching hundreds of runners & triathletes.
Starting 12 weeks before the Kaikoura Whale Run (on Monday 18th June), this plan progresses through phases to build you to your peak performance.
Purchase of these plans gives you access to my fortnightly coaching calls where you can ask me any training or racing related questions.
