Steel City Pursuit 🏭🖤
Saturday morning in Sheffield didn’t disappoint, as we brought our chaos to the South Yorkshire streets for the first time, to launch our coaching partnership with
@pursuitperformance_ .
From the heart of Kelham Island, athletes were tasked with a twist on our classic checkpoint race format, returning to base after each one before learning their next destination.
We couldn’t come to Sheffield & not include some elevation, meaning a final checkpoint climb to the summit of Parkwood Springs was particularly popular with races after hard efforts in & out of the city centre prior.
A footrace unfolded on this final climb & descent, with the lead changing hands regularly between 3 athletes until Stirling Green secured a narrow victory in the final sprint, with
@chloe__potter claiming the women’s crown, both of them taking home a stacked prize package for their efforts.
Post race, we grabbed a coffee & sat down for a chat with
@pursuitperformance_ Head Coach
@harvey_maguire &
@uaracingcollective athlete
@samuel_moakes , about all things 1:1 coaching, the life of a performance athlete, & how the game has evolved in the past 10 years, with insight delivered on the value of data, science & a personal touch when it comes to unlocking that next level in your training & racing
If you’re considering 1:1 coaching as the next step in your running journey, the team are on hand now & ready to support you.
Thanks to
@themowbray for providing us with an iconic venue for our Sheffield debut as well.
A brilliant morning of racing, shall we do it again sometime, Sheff?
This was racing, redefined.
We are Unsanctioned Athletics.
