We are pleased to announce that the Leadership in Running Fitness qualification has been revamped to meet today’s learner’s needs, and utilising todays’ technologies, so it can be completed fully online. 

The course is designed to prepare you to provide a safe and enjoyable running experience for young people aged 12+ and adults of any ability. The course covers risk assessment, warm-ups, cool downs, and how to lead fun running sessions for a mixed ability group of runners.

The course is made up of four on-line self-guided learning modules, remote feedback from a tutor of a supervised session and a 90 minute virtual classroom session.

The online self-guided modules include;

• Module One: Individual Centred Leading and the Role of the Leader
• Module Two: Running Fitness Session Content
• Module Three: Performance Factors, Energy Systems and their application
• Module Four: The Role of the Leader in Injury Avoidance.

Self-guided means that there is no tutor present and you work through the modules independently. The modules use a variety of learning activities including videos and interactive tasks

As part of the remote feedback from a tutor of a supervised session participant will need to film themselves (complying with UK Athletics safeguarding requirements) leading two supervised running in fitness activities. Participants will be directed to upload these to the learning platform where a tutor will review them and offer you some developmental feedback.

The 90 minute virtual classroom is a teaching and learning environment, where participants can interact, communicate, engage with learning resources, view and discuss presentations, while working in groups all in an online setting.

This session allows the learner to reflect on the content covered in the four online modules, and share and discuss the feedback they have received on their leading practice, in a safe and supportive learning environment, with an experienced Leadership in Running.
