Martin Rush, Event Group Lead Endurance, British Athletics said:

“This promises to be an exciting and informative weekend of sharing coaching knowledge and experience, with a specific focus on how coaches and support staff can work together to produce world beating results.

“The British Milers Club Gala Dinner on the Saturday evening, which includes an after dinner speech by commentator and European 5000m medallist Tim Hutchings, also provides an excellent opportunity for participants to network and share ideas with a who’s who of the European and world endurance coaching community.'
