Harriers Training - w/c 20 February

Please note hi-viz is mandatory for all sessions

Tuesday 21 February 

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

Tuesday's session is Elm Road, Tutshill, with John and Dick at 6.30. Meet at the junction of Elm Road and Gloucester Road.

Coach Dick says: 'Please arrive warmed up and ready to run. All runners must be wearing high-vis reflective gear. Please be aware of traffic on Elm Road, particularly cars reversing off drives. Also be respectful of residents when running and parking there. A head-torch is not recommended as you will be running facing other runners.

You will be running the approx 400m length of Elm Road in both directions, with a slow jog recovery of 90 seconds at the end of each length. Either way, you will start downhill and finish uphill. When running uphill concentrate on your form, keeping your head and knees high, and using your arms to drive you forwards.

Aim to run each length at the same effort,  so that you finish the session as strongly as you start. If you are wanting to push yourself harder, consider reducing the length of your recoveries. We will discuss this on the night'.

This session is not suitable for Junior participation.

High-viz is mandatory
