Posts relating to club nights (Tuesday/Thursdays)

Sessions for week commencing 1st December

Hi all, forms are now up (better late than never) – please put your name down if you are coming to any of the sessions.

Christmas Runs:

Wednesday 10th December for the Snowman run – this is a jog around the town centre, snowman installation spotting – very relaxed and easy, suitable for everyone. If you want to run quick then this is not for you (unless you’re Baggy and decide you want to race some youths in front of the Frenchgate)
Thursday 11th December: starting from the Tennis Club in Bessacarr this is a ~4 mile circuit, stopping at the Punches, then the Childers and back to finish in the Tennis Club bar. Again, an easy jog around.

Tuesday’s track session is 16 * (1 min / 1 min) ~ relaxed or ~5K pace, if you raced hard today then consider going easier.

Thursday’s route is R8

Sessions for week commencing 24th November

Hi all, this coming week’s forms are now up. Please put your name down if you’re coming along to either of the sessions!

Tuesday’s track session is:
14 * (1 min / 45 seconds) to be done at ~3 – 5K race pace.
1 * 4 min at target 10K race pace (be realistic with this!)

Thursday’s route is R7, which is ~5.7 miles. There is an opportunity to cut short up Stoops and run straight back down Bawtry Road, which would take it to around 3 miles.

See you in the week!

Sessions for week commencing 17th November

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

Tuesday’s session is:
2 * (8 min / 1 min)
3 * (4 min / 1 min)
4 * (2 min / 1 min)
(should look like attached screenshot).
This is another long session, so we must be prompt between finishing the warm up and getting on with it.

Thursday’s route is R10 (Hare and Hounds), which is just under 6 miles.

You will notice one more group on there this week – G0!
The pace for this group to begin with will be around 7 m/m – could be a bit faster, could be a bit slower. If you cannot comfortably sustain 7 m/m pace over 10K then please stick with G1. In future it may go a bit quicker, or be adapted to go a bit slower. We’ll see.
This should give people who were on the fence about coming up from G2 into G1 a bit more confidence to do so – 1 has been creeping up in paces for a while. It should also allow those who are comfortable at faster paces a chance to run them with the club.
The group is likely to be renamed to 0.5 at some point.

Sessions for week commencing 10th November

Morning all, forms for the week are now up. Please put your name down if you’re coming along!

Tuesday’s track session is:
2 * (9 / 6 / 3 / 1) efforts each with 1 minute recoveries.

Recommended paces at ~10K race pace (or just quicker) throughout, marginally quicker again on the shorter intervals.

This is a longer session and so we will need to be punctual between finishing the warm up and beginning the work out.

Thursday’s route is going to be a recce of the Doncaster 10K route – bit longer because we have to make our way onto the course from the Dome, so it’s about 7.5 miles in total. There is an opportunity to bail out at around 4 or so miles.

Sessions for week commencing 3rd November

Hi all, forms for this coming week are now up. Please remember to put your name down if you’re attending any of the sessions!

Tuesday’s track session will be 16 * (90 seconds / 60 seconds). Would recommend the efforts to be at or North of 5K race pace.

Scully is taking a hill session on the Cenotaph as an alternative.

Thursday’s route is R6, which is just over 6 miles. There’s a cut-short at around half way through.

Have a good week!
