BENEFITS OF GROUP COACHED SESSIONS
Group coached sessions provide an opportunity to meet and train with friends and fellow club members, this means, people with similar goals and objectives. Coaches will split groups on ability if necessary and there is no need to feel intimidated or think you will be ‘off the back’. You can take each session as easy or as hard as you choose, based on your personal targets and how you feel at the time; there is no pressure.
If you want to push yourself you can do, and there is no better way than interval training with a group where some are going slightly faster than you on each set and you are striving to match them.
There is also an essential social element with group training, whether that be during or after the session. Many of the KTC coached sessions are now followed by a social coffee somewhere local to the session.
