On Tuesday, May 26, we start with the Olivia Centre Running Club! And it will happen! Because we have running workouts ahead of us, meetings with experts, advice from dieticians, physiotherapy consultations and what else sports will play in our souls.
We start with an unhurried corpse, so that in two or three months, we will run like the proverbial doe.
- Goal number 1: fun and relaxation.
- Goal number 2: better fitness and health.
- Goal number 3: new relationships.
- Goal number 4 (optional): preparation for the Gdańsk Half Marathon, which will take place on September 27, or for Night Friday on September 26.
And so, we train twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 17:00 in different locations. In the near future, m.in, picturesque routes of the Tri-City Landscape Park.
- Training: Tuesday, Thursday.
- Hours. 17:00
- We start from Olivia Star.
- Duration of training: Ok. 60 minutes.
The club is being established in cooperation with the Academic Sports Association of the University of Gdańsk, and this is – in our opinion – the best recommendation. The classes will be conducted by Łukasz Gałka, an athletics coach associated with AZS UG Gdańsk, who has been present in the world of middle and long distance running for years. He has competed in half marathons, marathons and triathlons, was a competitor and medalist of the Polish Academic Championships, and today he trains others and prepares himself to participate in the World Masters Athletics Championships Daegu 2026.
We invite everyone who is interested. Those who just want to start their adventure with running and those who know what it is all about. The trainer will advise, suggest, improve, teach. You can join to take part in a half marathon, or you can also just improve your fitness, run with someone after work, catch the regularity bug or just check if running in a group is for you.
We start calmly. The first trainings will last about an hour and will be adapted to the level of participants. You don’t need to have experience or sports history behind you. Just come in comfortable shoes and see how it works.
Over time, the club will develop. The plans include, m.in, special trainings, joint running adventures and small surprises for the most regular participants. We will keep you informed about the details.
- First practice: Tuesday, May 26, at 17:00.
- Start: Olivia Star.
