Training Strategy

Thursday 16 May

This Thursday is the choice of a Tempo run or a coached track session, full details below.

Track Session. This will be coached by Eddie, starting at 6:30pm. Thursday sessions involve routines which prepare runners for weekend racing. This week is 5 x Hill 3, 5 x 350 easy, then 50m strides.

Tempo Run
This week's run is St Pierre, meeting in the Leisure Centre bar at 6:35pm for a 6:45pm start. Sarah is MC and will get you into in your groups. You may choose a tempo or more social run, a 45 minute out and back run led by Gill, or a walk.

Please see the website for all the Thursday training routes.


The 45 minute run option provides a guided run for those new to running / graduating from C25K / returning from injury. The pace of the run is set to match the slowest runner; all are welcome and no one is left behind. This is an out and back run – out for 20 mins and then back (with a spare 5 minutes contingency.

The recommended Tempo effort in this run is the 1.18 mile Strava Segment 'Great Barnet's Wood to the Rd'. By running this section at Level 2 each time, you can track your progress through the summer.


After the run will will be a coach led discussion on Tempo Efforts. Led by Eddie, this will start at 8:15pm.
