Odense Athletics' youth running group is for runners who want to train over distances from 600 m to 3 km. Sessions combine interval work on the track with runs in nearby parks and woods, and the aim is to build towards holding a 6-minute-per-kilometre pace over 3 km.
Training also covers running technique, acceleration, varied athletics skills, basic bodyweight strength work and take-off drills. Coach Kasper Pontoppidan, an active runner in the club himself, leads the group. Guided training plans are also available for athletes to follow on rest days.
