I agree Iain - to a point - yes it is poorly defined.Originally Posted by IainR
The new structure is ill thought out and I would prefer to go back to the old structure for coaches of Level 1 asst, Level 2 core + event, etc.
The Leader issue arose from road running. There is an acceptance that most road running clubs do not have any coaching structure. They meet at a pub, park etc and go for a run as a group.
The award seeks to address that by at least raising awareness of some of the issues that these training run organisers need to consider and perhaps it them makes them also think about joining the coaching schemes.
I would say that this is also relevant to the fell clubs. If a club arranges a formal run then unfortunately in today's environment they have to consider "what if", and these courses can make people think about what they are doing.
I don't see it as an FRA issue.
If you feel that there is something wrong, then write to UKA who set all this up. That's what I did when they brought out the UKCC courses - and leave the FRA alone as they can only go by what the ultimate governing body recognises.
