Harriers Training - w/c 14 March

Tuesday 15 March

This week's session is Elm Road, with Sue & Bethan at 6:00pm and James & Paul 7:00pm. 

Coach Sue says:

Start is at the Gloucester Road end of Elm Road, with parking at Elm Close (please don't park on Elm Road itself as it narrows the course for the session). You should allow 20 minutes of running to warm up, either by running there or when you arrive.

In the 30-minute session, run as many of the 400 (approx.) metres lengths of the road as you can fit in at Zone 3 effort (you should just about be able to day a couple of words). As a guide A/B runners should manage 12 with other groups slightly less. Each effort starts downhill followed by uphill to the finish, try to keep a consistent effort throughout. Think about your running technique, how it should change for the up and down parts of the effort.

Recovery is about 75 seconds, keep moving there will be a recovery area at each end.

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 do think about whether you will need a head torch on the way to and home from the session.
