Sessions for week commencing 15th July.

Good morning all, forms are now up for the forthcoming week. Please make sure your name’s down if you’re coming along!

Tuesday’s session is 15 * 90 seconds / 60 second rest. These are to be done somewhere between your 10K and just above your 5K race pace depending on your personal fitness / current weekly training mileage / goals. Will explain more on the evening.

Thursday’s route is M9R (reverse). It’s the Amazon Lakes route and is around 7.5 miles. There aren’t any shortcuts, so drop down a group if this is a little longer than you’re used to.

Huge well done to everyone who ran DonFaster 5K on Friday night, particularly to those who PB’d. Entries for the next race are open now.

Wouldn’t leave this one too late to book , it is likely to be much busier than July’s.

Also nice to see so many of you at the Cleethorpes Tourist parkun yesterday! Gregg’s didn’t know what hit them after.

Anyway, see you in the week!

Sessions for week commencing 8th July.

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

Tuesday’s session is as follows:
16 * 30 seconds with 1 min slow jog / walk recovery. Pace North of 5K race pace.

Thursday’s route is M1, which is in the woods. There isn’t really a convenient shortcut, unless you’re prepared to make your way back from the woods alone after the first loop (which would make it around 3 or so miles I think).

See you in the week!

Sessions for week commencing 1st July.

Evening all, forms are now up. Please put your name down if you’re coming along!

Tuesday’s session is:
3 sets of:
(3 min / 1 min jog recovery
2 min / 1 min jog recovery
1 min / 1 min jog recovery
30 secs)
with a 3 minute standing recovery between sets.

The efforts should be tough (faster than 5K pace), but not be so hard that you cannot jog (very easy jog) the recoveries. They will be significant enough that you welcome a standing rest after the shorter interval.

Thursday’s route is new, it’s into the woods and around a part of pit top. Nothing too challenging, but there aren’t any shortcuts. 6.3 miles or thereabouts.

See you in the week!

Sessions for week commencing 24th June.

Hello all, form for next week is now up! Please make sure that your name is down if you’re coming along.

Tuesday’s session is:
2 * 2 min / 1 min
12 * 1 min / 45 seconds

These should be at or above your target race pace, particuarly the 1 minute reps. You will not have much time to recover between these reps and they should be consistent – you should aim to complete each rep in the same time / at the same pace (don’t overdo it to start with!)

Remember that you can use the lap button on your watch if it has that functionality to split the reps up.

We are working towards the DonFaster 5K with these sessions. If you have not entered this already, please don’t leave it too late. Entries close on the 7th July (race is on the 12th), which is earlier than usual and we will not be extending this date.

No plans for social on Tuesday so far, will update if one becomes available.

We are away in Thorne on Thursday! Please see Andy’s post about this in the Facebook group here.

See you in the week!
