Harriers Training - w/c 12 December

Please note hi-viz is mandatory for all sessions

Tuesday 13 December 

Please read these details carefully as it will save time on the night. Use the links below for information on time bands and training zones. 

This week's session is Thornwell Loops, with Dick & Sarah at 6:15pm, and James and Neil at 7:00pm. Meet on Denbigh Drive, opposite the Tesco Express carpark by the walkthrough to Garvey Close. Either warm up with a jog down, or arrive early enough to warm up before the session starts.

Coach Dick says 'The 1126m long loop is mainly on well-lit pavements apart from crossing three side roads, and the hill leading up to the roundabout where a head-torch will alert your presence to oncoming traffic as you run up IN SINGLE FILE. Some people do take advantage of a footpath in the grass alongside the hill.

Run in pace groups with these guide times for completing each lap:

A: 3.36 - 4.03     
B:  4.03 - 4.17
C:  4.17 - 4.44
D:  4.44 - 5.04      
E:  5.04 - 5.38      
F:  5.38 - 6.12
G: 6.12 - 7.00
H: 7.00 - 7.55

Do as many laps as you can fit into 30 minutes at a consistent pace.

After each lap you should do an active recovery of 90 seconds in a small loop in the safe area (head-torches off here please) where we have the pre-run briefing, and where we also have the post-run review. The coaches will be interested in how the lap times went for everybody..'

A Performance Session will take place on the Leisure Centre track starting at 6:15pm. These sessions are open to all club members, and are of particular use to those who are targeting a particular race or PB. Speak directly to Eddie if you think they would benefit your training plan.
