What does the course cover?

In this course, you'll learn everything you need to confidently walk and run with poles. Starting with an introduction to the benefits of using poles, you'll explore which type is best suited to your needs in Module 2.

From there, you'll master the setup, walking techniques, and avoid common mistakes. The course will then transition into running with poles, covering techniques like the double pole plant, the gallop, as well as how to navigate varying terrains.

Additionally, you'll receive tips on downhill technique and how to store your poles properly. By the end, you'll have all the skills to enhance your trail running experience with poles!

How is the course delivered?

The course is delivered digitally through a blend of engaging tutorial videos, detailed written information, and accompanying example images. You'll be guided step-by-step with clear video demonstrations, supported by written content that explains the techniques in depth. Example images are included to visually reinforce key points, ensuring you have all the tools you need to learn effectively and apply the techniques confidently.

How long will the course take?

The course consists of 12 modules, and you can complete them at your own pace. You'll have immediate access to all modules, allowing flexibility in how you progress. However, we recommend spreading the modules over an extended period to give yourself time to practice the techniques as you go. This approach helps reinforce your learning and allows you to fully incorporate each skill before moving on to the next.

The course can be accessed via the Harrier website, either from the 'Account' or 'My Courses' area. We recommend doing this from a mobile phone to get the best experience.

For how long do I have access to the course?

You will have unlimited indefinite access to the course, allowing you to revisit the modules at anytime and as often as you require until you've mastered them fully.
