Training guides and tips / WRP Newsletter
As a help to a number of charities and their runners, in 2009 WRP began to make available a number of training articles and tips. We had a very positive response to these which are just yet another part of the wider support service that we like to offer to runners – such as the telephone/ e-mail service and the Race Clinics in your hotel.
As with the WRP checklists these guides and tips are available, with our compliments, to all those who book with WRP Tours. Once you booking application is processed WRP will issue a receipt on which there will details of how you can, within seconds, access to these documents, and any of this website which is “password protected” has the symbol (PP) shown at the side.
Please note that material will be added on a regular basis so accessing this sub-section of our web site at different times between October and April will reveal additional material on training or tips.
