Harriers Training and News - w/c 08 July

Tuesday 09 July

This Tuesday is the third race in our Rose Inn series. You can help out, or run, or help out and then run. Full details on Facebook and the website. For those not helping or racing Rose Inn, we have one coached track session.

S3. This session will be coached by Eddie on the Leisure Centre track, starting at 6:30pm. This week is 6 x 800 as follows: 200 @ L1, into 100 @ L2, into 100 @ build to L3 maintain for 400m. 2 mins rest between each.

Juniors

All track sessions are suitable for Harriers Juniors aged 14 and over. A parent must remain present on the field throughout, but there is no requirement to run together. Speak to Steve Dilley and the session coach beforehand if you intend to bring a junior.

Training Strategy 

Coached sessions are targeted at 10k racing, as outlined on the club website (link below). If you are training for other distances (5k / half / marathon) and would like some advice on incorporating club sessions into your training plan, or training plans in general, please speak to a member of the coaching team.


Thursday 11 July

This Thursday is the choice of a training 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 20 mins clockwise round the track, with every 3rd lap taking in the middle hill (all L2).

Training Run

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

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.

Please see the website for all the Thursday training routes. Note that route maps have been updated and GPX files added to download to your device 


The recommended Tempo segment 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 your run will be tea/coffee and biscuits in the Leisure Centre bar, do join us for a drink and a chat.
