Runner Retreats レビュー 100

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The team leading the day were knowledgeable, friendly and inclusive. The coaching team excellent. Catered for a diverse set of runners and balanced theory and practice very well. I came away with a much better understanding of endurance physiology and, with an on track lactate threshold test, the data to incorporate into my training plan. Do this day, you won't regret it!

A day well spent at Loughborough, learned a better and more efficient way to run, all the staff were professional and explained the techniques to a high standard.
A good mix of runners of all age groups....no such thing as to old or slow. 👍

First workshop done with Runner Retreats.
Approachable coaches, all level of runners accepted.
Full on day learning and practicing different drills.
Large age span present. Very nice to meet keen runners.

Four excellent and approachable coaches; a carefully designed and well-executed programme; an incomparably equipped and motivating venue.
A wide range of participants' ages and abilities. I'm 74 years old, I guess there were maybe 2 or 3 who were older. Most were in the range 30s to 50s. I've never been a 'good' runner, but I was able to complete all the tasks as well as anyone. I learnt from each task and at the end of the programme my running felt unstoppable. Shame about my lungs, though.

Thanks again for a fantastic weekend - thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience from staying overnight at the Elite Athlete Centre and Hotel, to the Running Technique Workshop itself... gained so much knowledge from you all, and have already started to implement the drills / techniques with my training... look forward to enrolling on future Runner Retreats workshops / camps.

Absolutely fabulous staff as regards knowledge and approachability. Fully recommend . I’ll be going back, that’s for sure.

Everything about this course was both professional and accessible. The instructions ahead of the course were clear and gathered performance information to make sure we got the most out of the course . I was really nervous about going as I’m not an elite runner but the tutors/ coaches were friendly, answered everyone’s questions and the ice breaker was actually enlightening instead of being cringeworthy.

The lectures were well delivered and pitched well, with time to ask questions. The track session with lactate testing was an amazing experience- being grouped with others of similar pace to follow the wave lights worked well. The debrief means I will know what to do with my data when I get it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the day and would recommend the workshop to everyone. I learned a lot about performance indicators, inc VO2Max, running economy and thresholds. The theory part was very insightful and useful to anyone wanting to learn more about physiology behind endurance events. The sub max test oart was awesome! I've never had my lactate measured and this was done very professionally. Coaches and support staff are brilliant!

Fantastic organisation from start to finish. Friendly team. Science explained that I understood - experience in the track with LT testing and wave light was awesome.

I attended the Marathon Training Workshop on the 14th January. The workshop was outstanding. Having met the Runners Retreats Team in late 2023 for a separate event, I knew this Workshop was going to provide myself, and the others in attendance, with all of the guidance and information we would need to help prepare for our upcoming events. The Team were so incredibly welcoming to everyone who attended from the moment of arrival, and incredibly friendly and approachable throughout the whole day. The workshop content was incredibly informative and the practical session was so useful and enjoyable as well. Whatever ability level of runner you are (beginner or someone with years of experience) I would totally recommend working with the Runners Retreat Team at one of their Retreats.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Marathon Workshop @ Stratford London Community Track. The day was well planned from track session to the afternoon workshops.
Great coaches imparting their knowledge and experience.
Will definitely look at other runner retreats events.

Attended the marathon workshop on 14-Jan. There was a good crowd of about 50 runners of mixed abilities and everyone seemed to enjoy. Started with a Fartlek running session approx 1hr before talking about race prep, planning training, diet & nutrition. Lewis & Gemma were great hosts with a wealth of experience. Im looking forward to race day and would recommend to anyone interested to attend.

Fantastic marathon workshop!
Very well organised, friendly coaches, great physical session on the track and so much knowledge imparted in such an accessible way! Highly recommended to anyone! Coaches were open to any question and were genuinely interested in each persons journey!

Amazing experience - would recommend to anybody considering running a marathon.

An absolutely incredible long weekend. All of the staff are so friendly, knowledgeable & inclusive. Everything about what they do is brilliant. We had the best possible weekend running, socialising & learning in beautiful surroundings. Life affirming experience. Thank you Runner Retreats. 😁

Just had an amazing weekend in the lake district with runners retreats. Went on my own so a bit nervous but very well organised with a lovely group of participants. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys running and wants to improve. All levels catered for.

Booked this at rather short notice, hadn’t come across the company before and didn’t really know what to really expect. It was a phenomenal weekend. A spotless hotel, with wonderful, plentiful food, stunning scenery and friendly staff. The Runners Retreat team hosted such a carefully thought out, varied and well-executed programme of events and activities. They are a real team and so engaging, caring, inspiring and inclusive. The whole group dynamic was friendly, supportive, fun and positive. The experience exceeded any expectations and was such a boost for mental and physical wellbeing. I learned so much. Would recommend to anyone. 🙏

Loughborough Performance Retreat 2023 -Superb!
Every year the team excel at everything they do. Totally dedicated team who are there for everyone no matter where you are in your running journey.
Loved the lactate testing and the encouragement I received to keep going and push that little bit more. The results for me spoke volumes and helped me see where I am at the moment in my journey.
This year there was a swim option at the end weekend of training which was fantastic. I loved it.
I can not recommend this retreat enough.

The running drills workshop and lactate testing was very well planned, everyone was made to feel welcome and the coaches are very knowledgeable, welcoming and inclusive of all abilities.
For anyone who loves running Loughborough is an inspiring venue to train at and the Runner Retreat team are a great team of people to learn from.
The running drills and lactate testing on the track was a great days workshop.
I highly recommend attending future workshops/runner retreats.

I turned up on the Friday feeling apprehensive about my abilities and quite how I’d fit in. Needn’t have worried at all. Was greeted warmly by Gemma and Jethro and on the first night’s briefing got to know lots of people thanks to the fun, friendly and professional manner of Lewis. The weekend progressed with lots of information being delivered in an easy to digest manner along with excellent food, accommodation and bon homie from all. Met many great people that I suspect shall see again.

I came away on the Sunday evening not quite believing what I’d experienced. I’ll never be a top athlete, but my life has changed thanks to Lewis, Gemma, Kirsty, Jethro and Dave from Runner Retreats and all the like minded lucky souls that participated in the weekend.
