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.
Thursday 07 August
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 8 x 400 with 300 @L2 and 100 proactive (L3), with 60 seconds rest.
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 or social run, a 45 minute out and back, 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 GPX files added to download to your device.
The recommended Tempo segment for 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.
Want to Join the Coaching Team?
Coaching in the club is hugely rewarding for individuals, and a great way to get involved with the club and your running mates. If you choose to do a Leader in Running Fitness course, a one day course paid for by the club, you will then be paired with more experienced team members to deliver regular sessions. If you're interested, have a chat with any of the team members for more information, and to see how you can get involved for a taster before committing!
