You need a coach
At every level, race walkers need coaches, just as much as other athletes and sometimes more so. When you race you will be under the eye of judges, so in your training it is vital that at least occasionally you are watched by someone with experience who can spot any problems with your technique, before they get to the point of getting you hauled out of races!
Furthermore, race walking is a technical event, like hurdling or the jumps and throws : sometimes an experienced coach can spot ways in which you could alter your approach to walking that can give big benefits in terms of improved performances or injury prevention. |
Coaching in Oxfordshire
Many of the Oxfordshire athletics clubs have UKAthletics-accredited coaches who will be able to start you off and give you good advice in race walking or in endurance events generally.
Also, your webmaster is a UKA Level II coach with Headington Roadrunners, qualified in running and race walking.
Coaches who are happy to be contacted are listed in the "Contact Details" section of this site. |
Coaching outside Oxfordshire
More experienced walking coaches are available within reasonable travelling distance of Oxfordshire. Coaches in the Midlands, East London, Northamptonshire and Hampshire have offered their services to Oxforshire athletes. More details are available from the webmaster.
National junior squad training sessions take place on a regular basis, often at readily accessible venues in the Midlands. Contacts can be arranged by the webmaster.
