Yesterday saw the FAST Running squad return to one of Canberra’s most iconic locations — Regatta Point — and the session delivered in more ways than one. Against the backdrop of crimson and gold leaves, calm reflections on Lake Burley Griffin, and the gentle hush of an autumn morning, our athletes took on a brand-new session on familiar, yet challenging, terrain.
It was a reminder that sprint training doesn’t have to be locked to a track. In fact, it shouldn’t be. At FAST Running, we believe in variety, stimulation, and using the whole of Canberra as our training ground. Whether it’s short bursts up hills, technique drills by the lake, or stride work under the trees, our sessions are never dull — and Regatta Point gave us everything we needed to bring the session to life.
Sprint Training – Not Just for Elites
Think sprint training is only for Olympic hopefuls or high school athletics champs? Think again. Sprinting is about developing speed, strength, and movement quality — benefits that apply whether you’re a junior building coordination, an adult runner chasing a new 5K PB, or someone who simply wants to move faster and feel stronger.
At FAST, we scale sessions to suit all levels, from complete beginners to national competitors. What unites us? A love of speed, the challenge of getting better, and the thrill of training with others in beautiful, energetic environments.
Nature, Power, Progress
Regatta Point’s unique landscape — from its grassy inclines to smooth paths and breathtaking views — offered a great contrast to our regular oval-based sessions. The hills brought out strength, the flat stretches sharpened mechanics, and the setting inspired a little extra drive in every rep.
We’ve captured the vibe in a collection of photos from the session — stay tuned as we share them across our socials and gallery.
