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

Tuesday’s session is a mixed Fartlek consisting of:
6 * (4 min / 1 min)
4 * (1 min / 1 min)
Recommended pace for 4 minute reps is at or just above target 10K pace / effort.
1 minute reps to be done around target ~5K pace / effort.

Thursday’s route is M5.

A reminder that you can move your mouse (computer) or finger (phone/tablet) along the elevation plot below the map and it will show you the direction of the route.

Have a good weekend, hopefully see some of you tomorrow for the tourist trophy parkrun in Market Rasen!

Good evening all, form for next week is now up! As usual, please put your name down if you’re coming along!

Tuesday’s session is a mixed fartlek consisting of:
8 * (1 min / 1 min recovery)
4 * (30 secs / 45 secs recovery)
2 min total rest

Then we do it all again with
8 * (1 min / 1 min recovery)
4 * (30 secs / 45 secs recovery)

Would suggest doing the 1 min reps at target 5K race pace, then the 30 second reps marginally faster. Shouldn’t be sprints.

We’re away on Thursday at the Glasshouse! Please see the event page in the Facebook group for details, make sure you register your interest for a chip butty in the post in that page if you want one. Simon needs numbers by Monday afternoon!

Have a good Bank Holiday!

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

Tuesday’s track work is a pyramid session:
1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 minute efforts with 1 minute recoveries.

You should start at or faster than your 5K race pace at the start, work down towards 10K race pace by the middle and then back up again at the end. So, the longer the time, the slower the pace and vice versa.

Alternatively, Mick is going to take a hill session with Scully over on Lakeside.

Thursday’s route is M1. This is around 5 miles long and is mainly in the woods.

Have a good weekend!

Happy Easter! Forms for next week are now up, please ensure your name is down if you’re coming along to either day.

Tuesday’s track session:
1 * (3 min / 1 min)
12 * (30 secs / 45 secs)
1 * (3 min / 1 min)
4 * (2 min / 1 min)

Suggested paces all at or around 5K race pace – 30 second reps to be marginally (but not much) quicker.

Would suggest that those doing London/Manchester/other marathons next week will not do the last block of 4 * 2 minutes and will do their 3 minute reps at marathon pace instead of 5K race pace.

Thursday’s route is M2R (M2, in reverse). Click the link to see the route – a reminder that you can move your mouse (computer) or finger (phone/tablet) along the elevation plot below the map and it will show you the direction of travel. So, from right to left will show you which way around we go on Thursday.

The route is about 6 or so miles and there’s a shortcut at half way for those wanting it – again, marathon runners might want to use this.

Have a good day and Bank Holiday!
