Women’s trail running with Julia Davis
If the cabin orientation you’re after isn’t available, get in touch and we’ll do our best to fit you in.
We are thrilled to be joined by Fi’s GB teammate, Julia Davis, an accomplished ultra trail and road runner, coach, and mum. During the retreat, you'll enjoy guided runs with Fi and Julia, complemented by tailored Pilates, strength, and stretch sessions. In the evenings, Julia and Fi will share their expertise on training, nutrition, and racing as women. Julia will also give an inspiring talk about her experience training through pregnancy and early motherhood, as well as her recent success at the World 100k Championships in India.
Who is this for?
Women looking for a fun and supportive weekend on the trails. You should be comfortable running 20km continuously, but no prior trail running experience is needed. The pace will be relaxed, with plenty of stops to enjoy the views and catch your breath.
We’ll always stick together and no one will be left behind, but to give you an idea of the level of the group, you should be able to run a flat 10k in around an hour.
