Unfortunately our 2012 marathon training day has been our most popular ever and all of our places are now full.

For those runners who have successfully secured a place at this day, the details can be found below.

Time: 9.15am - 4pm
Venue: Bedford International Athletic Stadium, Barkers Lane, Bedford, MK41 9SB

Join Liz Yelling and her expert team of experienced marathon coaches for one of our now legendary training days. Runners who attended last year's training day were three times more likely to cross the finish line than those who didn't, so it really is a great opportunity!

"I am so glad I went to the training day - Liz Yelling and her team were amazing! Before the day I was feeling a bit nervous that I hadn't done enough, but now I feel far more prepared and excited about race day" - Natasha Sweet, teamGO marathon runner 2011
