Another reminder that it’s the club race at the Cycle Hub on Sunday. Race begins at 1pm, come up to an hour before to warm up and get ready. Bring family if you like! The cafe should be open. This is a great opportunity to run hard in a closed, fast, flat environment over a 5K UKA certified distance that we’ve had specifically measured.

Andy and Emma are providing their professional timing services (https://www.facebook.com/SeasonsBestUK) for us at no cost, please support them and the club by attending if possible – it will serve as a test run for future events.

The forms for the week are up. Please make sure your name is down if you’re coming out to play!

On Tuesday, you should be pooped from your efforts on Sunday and so we will be trying something different per Nick’s post in the Facebook group. Basically we’ll be doing a partial recce of the Doncaster 10K route, modified to start and finish from the Dome (and avoid repetition where necessary). This’ll be a social run – we may have up to 3 different groups depending on take-up.

It may end up being longer than 10K. We’ll try and work in at least one cut-short for those who might need it.

On Thursday it’s the turn of R6, Town & Bawtry Road, a route of just over 6.4 miles.

Booking forms for this week are up.

Tuesday
Intervals at Rail College. 8 x 3min at 10k pace with 90 second recoveries. 1 mile jog before and after and warm up before.

If you have a Garmin, you can pre-program your watch in advance

Thursday
R5 – 5.5 mile, all paths – good step up opportunity.

Please ensure you have your name down if you plan to attend any of the sessions!

See you in the week.
