IMPROVE YOUR RUNNING AND EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF RUNNING TOGETHER
One of the most important points for the running school here at Nordjyllands Idrætshøjskole is that it is for everyone. Even those who have never run before. Whether the goal is to run 1, 5, 10 or 42 kilometers is secondary. The most important element is the motivation and desire to dive into the world that surrounds running.
We are not afraid to say that we possibly have one of the best running instructors. Morten Marinussen is a very skilled runner himself and has won several major races over the last 10 years.
So if you have the slightest interest in running, you will not be disappointed. You will find that there are many individual, but not least shared experiences in running with others. We are committed to focusing on community and helping each other.
Technically, you will work with your own running style. You will be given an individual running program that aims to improve your current form, but also pave the way for the development of your running technique. Therefore, you will also be offered a running style analysis so that you can see your own development from the first to the last lesson.
Specifically, we embrace the following areas in the Marathon/Running School:
