Fitness From Africa Athletic Club

After more than 12 years of coaching runners of all abilities we finally decided to register as running club!  Our first intake this year saw 50 athletes sign up with us, and soon you will see the red, black and white FFA vests bobbing on the roads, tracks and trails of South Africa and beyond.
We are trying hard to not only promote running to our members and the running community at large, but also to make running affordable, enjoyable and as exciting as possible!
FFA AC is a sports club affiliated to National and Provincial Athletic bodies in South Africa.  The aims and objectives of the club shall be to encourage members and newcomers in the area of running and an active lifestyle. Also to nurture junior runners and motivate the benefits of long term participation in running.  We will endeavour to be recognised by other members of the running community for our great spirit, the achievements of the club and individual members, as well as our contribution to the community as a whole.
For more information or to join, please contact info@fitnessfromafrica.co.za

Get fitter and faster!
Ever wonder how sprinters are able to respond so quickly to the gun and cover the first 30m of a sprint in just over 3sec?  And how do rugby players manage to run at full speed and then change direction

Join the FFA Team!
After attending my first run again back since Comrades this past weekend, I realised how much more work is to be done before I can expect any decent short distance times.  Sure, I had a good week of interval training during July, but the bottom line is that developing your running body is an on-going process.&nbs

It’s time!
Winter has dealt us its worst, although we might still get the occasional cold snap, but as usual us runners prevailed! Some better than others, but it’s starting to get a bit lighter and warmer, and the familiar faces, as well as some new ones, are appearing at our training groups.
