Harriers Training - w/c 14 February

Tuesday 15 February

This week's session is Elm Road, with Dick & Rich at 6:00pm, and Andy & John 7:00pm.

Coach Dick says:

'Meet at the Gloucester Road end of Elm Road, with handy parking at Elm Close. If you’re not jogging there as your warm up, allow 20 minutes for preparation.

In the 30 minute session, run as many of the c. 400 metres lengths of the road as you can fit in at Zone 3 effort (when you just about say a couple of words to your fellow runners) : 12 would be a fair number. Remember that each length of Elm Road starts with a downhill session which you can ‘float’ down, before the more intense effort of the climb which you should try to complete with a consistent driving force. At this stage concentrate on a full arm swing all the way to the top.

Your recovery should be about 75 seconds or the time it takes you to slowly jog round twice the recovery area at each end of the road. At the end of the session make sure you review the session with the coaches'.

High viz is mandatory for winter sessions. Head torches will not be needed, especially as runners will be facing each other during the session, but look out for vehicles pulling in and out of property. Please also think about whether you will need a head torch on the way to and home from the session.

In order to allow Dick and Andy to plan the best session for attendees, you are requested to register if you plan to come, giving your name and pace group only. Registration is not compulsory however, and details will not be retained following the session.
