This week’s sessions (w/c 6th Mar)

Hi all, forms for next week are up! Please remember to fill out your name if you’re coming to any of the sessions.

Tuesday’s social run will be with Amanda and Julie, around 6.5 miles on tarmac at ~10m/m.

The marathon plan has relaxed fartlek around RC perimeter pencilled into it, but having given that some thought, I’m changing it to something out of the club library:

1234321 with 1/2 rests (e.g 1 min on, 30 sec off, 2 min on, 1 min off, 3 mins on, 90 secs off and so on).

For those who are racing and also in marathon training, I would consider whether you will be rested enough for the interval set and should instead switch to the social.

Thursday’s route is R10R.

Good luck to everyone who’s racing Sunday morning!

See you there or in the week.

Jim would like a show of hands from those of you who may be interested in racing this? We imagine it’ll be similar to Dam Flask, but with two twists:

  1. We can have mixed sex teams.
  2. There isn’t that ruddy big hill. 😅

How many in a team?

  • 4 – Male Senior, MV40 and MV50
  • 4 – Mixed ( 2 males 2 females)
  • 3 – Female senior, FV35, FV45, FV55, MV60

What are the categories?

  • Male senior (18+), MV40, MV50, MV60
  • Female senior, FV35, FV45, FV55
  • Mixed Bag (2 male, 2 female)

If you’re interested, can you please let Jim know ASAP with:

  1. Single sex
  2. Mixed team

If we get enough interested parties we can then match make and enter a bunch of teams. So this will rely on club participation (you!)

It’d be nice to get a big turnout to this (even though it does clash with a club night!)

This week’s sessions (w/c 27th Feb)

Hi all, forms for next week are up. Please put your name down if you’re coming!

On Tuesday Mick is taking the social again (he says it’s between 6 and 6 1/2 miles – any issues take it up with him!), and the Rail College session is 20 x (1 min, off 1 min), at ~5K pace (marginally quicker for quicker groups.)

Thursday’s route is R9R.

Amy’s testing out a potential new parkrun route on Saturday morning, which you’re all invited to – see the details on Facebook here

Hopefully see you next week!
