Training in Leighton Buzzard
CrossFit, combat and the canal.
Leighton Buzzard leans towards coached and combat training. Leighton Buzzard CrossFit runs classes, the Kickboxing Academy and Leighton Buzzard Martial Arts cover striking and self-defence, and Harlequin Gymnastics takes all ages on the Greaves Industrial Estate. Runners have Leighton Buzzard Athletic Club, and golfers the town's club, founded in 1925.
The Grand Union Canal and the River Ouzel run side by side through town, which makes the towpath an easy flat run. The Greensand Ridge Walk sets off from here towards Woburn, and Rushmere and Stockgrove country parks are just north in Heath and Reach. A regular running partner makes those longer loops far more likely to happen.
