Odense Athletics runs a youth running squad for young athletes who want to build speed and endurance. Training focuses on running technique, acceleration, varied athletics skills and basic bodyweight strength work, with interval sessions on the track and in nearby parks and forests.
The group targets runs between 600 m and 3,000 m. Participants should be able to run 3 km at a pace of around 6 minutes per km. The coach, Kasper Pontoppidan, is an active runner in the club himself. Guided training programmes are also available for athletes who want to follow a plan on rest days.
