We’re a bunch of down to earth people who thrive on enabling others to fulfil their potential. We’re passionate about the people and the communities we work in, so you'll often spot us out and about enjoying a coffee and natter to build relationships. Those little moments of intimacy build trust and break down barriers. We help bring people together, enabling them to live happier and healthier lives.Jog Derbyshire is a network of friendly, social jogging groups spreading the length and breadth of the county – from the far tip of the High Peak to the South.

Champion Yourself:  How the habits of champions can improve the health, as well as the fitness, of recreational joggers and runners.

All too often recreational joggers and runners end up frustrated, demoralised or injured while trying to do the right thing to get fitter. This is usually influenced by advice, jargon and ‘top tips’ cascading down from elite athletes, gurus or big sports brands via internet click bait. Advice that tends to focus on the things that put the icing on the fitness cake, rather than the habits that produce the cake in the first place. 

This interactive workshop explores how the real habits of champion runners can – and should - be applied by us mere mortals to make us fitter and healthier for the rest of our lives. 

It will provide practical advice backed up by simple jargon free explanations of the science behind it. Some common myths will be dispelled, and confusion created by the vast amount of contradictory information available nowadays will be removed. 

It is aimed at participants of all levels and jog/run leaders looking to develop knowledge and skills to support their groups.
