LDST races join forces with Zone 2 Coaching

LDST & Zone 2 Coaching have teamed up to offer an exclusive coaching group to prepare you both physically and mentally for the demands of sky racing. The group is for people taking part in either the Helvellyn Lakes Sky Ultra and/or the Scafell Sky Race.

The idea of the group is to offer bespoke and personalised training but with the same target races and a group environment means it can be offered at a lower price than 1:1 coaching.

By joining the LDST x Zone 2 coaching group you will be provided with;

  • Individualised training
  • Regular feedback from the coach
  • Monthly group zoom calls to discuss training, race prep, the course, nutrition etc.
  • Access to the private LDSTxZone2 WhatsApp group to discuss all things skyrunning.

With not long to go until these races, it’ll come around quick so we are starting the group training on the 3rd April 2023.

Spaces are very limited so don’t delay in signing up.

Testimonial from Craig, Zone 2 coached athlete:

“I got in touch with Steve at Zone2Coaching last autumn to enquire about developing a more structured approach towards training. Coming from an active background, I possessed a reasonable level of fitness, but my work-life balance had resulted in stagnated performance.

I had entered the 2022 Ring of Steall Skyrace and decided my goal was to finish within 6.5 hrs.

Steve quickly gauged my abilities and put together a varied and progressive training schedule. His programmes always pushed me physically, but everything was achievable, and the activities were refreshing.

Having smashed the Skyrace in just over 5.5 hrs, the performance related benefits speak for themselves. A totally worthwhile venture – we’re already looking forward to the Scafell Skyrace in 2023!”
