RUNNING AND FUNDRAISING  SUPPORT

If you're just starting out on your running journey this is where you'll find everything you need. There's plenty of training information to get you started, how to record your runs, nutrition and injury prevention advice. There a guide to choosing the right running shoes and lots more on running kit selection. Getting that right is vital. We've also got heaps of guidance on doing your first running event; how to choose the perfect one for you, how to prepare for it and how to make sure you get the most from it. Running is a great way to get fit, mentally and physically and this section will make sure that you get the most from every single run!

We have 7 different blog categories covering: Training Essentials, Nutrition, Injuries, Running Kit, Encouragement, Fundraising and running Events. Once you signed up to a NAVY membership just hit the button on the blog home page and you'll see every blog post. We're adding more every week and we have regular guest bloggers from all over the world. Make sure you comment and give us your feedback: we want you to be involved and to have your say. The more comments you leave the better the running and fundraising blogs will be. Your experiences really count.

We are developing a free running and fundraising video library that will grow and grow over time and will be categorised by channel. We'll have fascinating insights into running and fundraising exploits from all over the globe, including from some of the greatest elite runners who have graced the sport. The emphasis will be on advice and support and how runners can help each other and learn. The more we can learn the more we'll enjoy it.  We'll have shoe and event reviews, advice from physios and nutritionists and plenty more besides. We'll start small, but grow big with more added regularly!

We have two podcast series, with each offering a unique take on an aspect of the running and fundraising world. Initially we'll start with a series on global running events and another on fundraising. Then we'll add another on training towards the end of 2024 and grow this next year. All podcasts are free to all visitors to the site.We want you to be a key part of the series, whether it be reviews or your feedback on an event or running for charity. Every month we'll feature a runner from around the world and the focus will be on runners who have supported a charity while running their event.

Our running training plans don't just tell you how much to run each day and that's it. You get way more. Your daily run (or rest day) information is supplemented by a detailed explanation of a training subject that's relevant to where you are in your plan. Once you've done your run come back to the site and mark it as complete and get ready for tomorrow. And to remind you what you need to do on a given day we'll send you a notification beforehand with what's ahead for that day.  Our training plans are included within our NAVY membership or you can buy them on their own as a one off purchase.
