THE J & G RUN CLUB
ABOUT THE CLUB
The J & G Virtual Run Club aims to provide online coaching to runners from anywhere in the world. We want to connect like-minded runners of all abilities and help them share their journeys. The club provides:
​
Flexible Training
Train whenever suits you, at your own pace, wherever you want
​
Quality Coaching
Providing structured plans and detailed resources to boost your training
​
Shared Experience
Creating a community feel and bringing people together through running
​
WHO IS IT FOR?
Running as a part of a club brings a lot of social benefit, enjoyment and is great for motivation. However, we understand that sometimes there are difficulties in joining a local running club. J & G are offering the Virtual Run Club as a comparable alternative. This club is suitable for:
-
People with a busy schedule who can’t commit to fixed club sessions
-
People who want to get active but aren’t confident enough to join a club
-
People who just want to run for themselves at their own pace
-
People who want holistic training support through S&C, technique and training advice
J & G want to make sure that anyone facing these challenges gets the support they deserve. Together as a community, we can work together to get the most out of our running experiences
The Virtual Run Club has no waiting list, criteria or barriers to joining. We are open to anyone from any running background, age or ability and we want to help you whatever your goal is
WHAT DO I GET IF I JOIN?
1. VIRTUAL COACH
Quality Coaching Online
Through this Virtual Club, we are aiming to provide more runners with access to higher quality coaching to guide their training. We believe that if you run, you are a runner. No matter how fast or how far you run, you deserve the support to help you be the best you can be. Our plans and resources are carefully designed by our Level 3 England Athletics qualified coach to ensure this standard is met
J & G Supporting You
Wherever you run, we want to be there to support and motivate you to help you reach your goals. J & G will be on hand to answer your questions via our various online platforms, including the Members Zone, Email or on Instagram. We are here to help as your online coaches
​
Training Schedules
All members will have access to our club’s weekly schedule. We provide members with structured sessions throughout the week, just like runners would get as part of a physical club. Our Virtual Run Club includes Beginner, Intermediate and Advance groups, so there will always be a session tailored to your ability
Virtual Club Nights
These are hosted throughout the week to connect our members who are following the training schedule wherever they are. If you can’t be there on club nights, don’t worry you can adapt the schedule to your weekly timetable
Holistic Training
Finally, our schedules also offer guidance on how to integrate other elements of training throughout the week such as conditioning, cross training and active recovery to really get the most out of your running
2. TRAINING PLANS

Here you will find all the resources that we have put in place to support your running as part of the training schedule. This includes Strength & Conditioning, Workouts, Running Drills and General Training Tips
Video Tutorials
These videos will coach you through every aspect of the training inventory to ensure that you are getting the most out of the exercises and performing them with the correct technique
3. MEMBERS ZONE
Connecting Journeys
We want to create a strong sense of community with our members and connect them so they really feel like part of a club. Members will be encouraged to share their running experiences through our website and Instagram to support, encourage and motivate each other to reach their goals
Members Forum
Our Members Zone includes a Club Forum where our members can interact and share their Journeys. It also provides a platform to ask questions relating to your training. As your virtual coaches, J & G will offer advice and support, but we also want everyone to get involved and help each other as a club
