Running workouts for the University of Lodz Staff
We would also like to remind you about running workouts for the University of Lodz staff which are held every week and conducted by Dr Piotr Kędzia from the Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University of Lodz. This is a great opportunity to prepare for the competition under the supervision of a professional coach, an Olympian from Beijing and Athens. The workouts take place on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. in Park 3 Maja or Zdrowie. Details about the location are provided via the FB group Biegacze UŁ.
The running workouts are carried out as part of the "Uwolnij Energię 2.0!" [Free Your Energy 2.0] project, while the "Crossowa Piątka UŁ" run is organised as part of the "Trenuj z UŁ! Biegiem po zdrowie" [Train with the University of Lodz! I run for my health]. These projects are financed from the "Social Responsibility of Science" programme of the Minister of Education and Science.
