The training sessions take place at an accessible group pace and are ideal for anyone taking part in Long Course Weekend Belgium or simply looking for a high-quality training session.
The Yoga for Sports session focuses on mobility, stability, breathing and recovery, specifically tailored to athletes. No previous yoga experience is required. Wear comfortable sports clothing. You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat, but all necessary equipment will also be provided.
The yoga session is a perfect follow-up to the run course recon earlier that morning, but can of course also be booked separately.
During the bike and run sessions, every participant will also receive an up4™ Energy Gel to test during training. The Sportpark offers plenty of parking and shower facilities.
