Steve Macklin, Athletics Ireland Coach Education Lead for Endurance:
"I am extremely enthusiastic about this initiative as it brings all our endurance coaches together to learn, share and network. It is exciting that we have such high calibre speakers delivering at the first event to pass on their knowledge and experiences to our endurance coaches. This is an opportunity for all coaches to learn or refresh on current coaching methods or see what other coaches are doing and more importantly to network with each other. The layout of the day is very relevant to all endurance coaches in Ireland and I encourage all coaches to attend. You are investing in your own athletes by doing so. One key aspect of these days is the fact we will have Irish coaches presenting about their athletes and giving other coaches a chance to pick up new ideas on training.”
The full line up of speakers and workshops/presentations will be released in two weeks time, when online registration for the event opens.
