The workshop will explore the various types of visual impairment, tips for operating safely whilst guide running, and how to make your running sessions VI-friendly. The practical element will give the opportunity for attendees to experience guiding and being guided by each other in a suitable setting.
Those completing the workshop with an up to date and valid Leadership in Running Fitness qualification/Coach in Running Fitness will also have the opportunity to join the Welsh Athletics / Run Wales register of recognised Guide Runners (as featured on the Run Wales website). This workshop is also open to Coaching Assistants, Athletics Coaches looking to develop a more VI-friendly, on-track training environment.
