Odense Athletics' youth running squad is aimed at young athletes who want to build speed and endurance over distances from 600 m to 3,000 m. Training mixes track intervals with runs through nearby parks and woods, and focuses on running technique, acceleration, varied athletics skills, basic bodyweight strength work and take-off drills.
The group is coached by Kasper Pontoppidan, an active runner in the club himself. Athletes can also follow optional training plans on rest days. Participants should be able to run 3 km at a pace of around 6 minutes per kilometre.
