Good news that we’ll soon be back to running at the Club.
Till that lovely day, here’s what you might like to do, either on your own, or with a small group of the sort that is allowed at the mo [Wales: 6 people from 2 households. Engand: 6 people or 2 households whichever is larger].
On your favourite route, set off nice and easy, enjoying the chat that running at this pace allows you to do. If you’re on your own then talk to yourself - at least you’ll have someone intelligent to chat with. One topic will be to agree the order of leadership, so that after about 5 minutes the chosen leader will shout “Fast!”. On hearing this you will all accelerate to running quite hard. The conversation will naturally tail off to the point where you can only speak in short phrases.

After maybe a minute the leader will call “Slow” and you will all resume your easy conversational pace. Then when the second leader feels like it, she/he will shout “Fast!”, and off we go again. Carry on like this for the whole run, BUT each leader will on at least one of the Fast sections shout “FASTER!!!” Upon which you will all run so hard for about 10 seconds that not a word can escape your lips.
Try to keep the conversation stimulating but clean, as befits a Chepstow Harrier.
Cheers
Coach Dick
