Training

The Jerusalem Running Club Hasolelim has taken us under their wing in helping us train.

We are welcome to use their running facilities (the beautiful Athletics Stadium in Givat Ram - Hebrew University), consult and build a personal plan with the head coach and basically learn from them as well as train together.

The club meets every Tuesday at 18:00 in Givat Ram - and we welcome you to join us and start getting into a framework.

This open to all runners and is not mandatory, but a great option to start preparing.
