Harriers Training and News - w/c 22 June

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

Tuesday 23 June

Tuesdays give the choice of two coached sessions. 

Session 1:  This week's session is 800s (maybe!) with Dick. Meet at 6.30pm on the leisure centre track.

"We had 800s scheduled for next Tuesday, but with the forecast heatwave and 28 deg expected at 6, we’ll see how it is on the day. Something like paarlauf might be more suitable? Come along at 6.20 and we’ll see what the feeling is."

This session is suitable for junior participation. 

Session 2: This week's session 2 is also at 6.30pm on the leisure centre track, with Eddie.

Thursday 25 June Evening Runs

This week's run is Coastal Path, meeting in the Leisure Centre cafe at 6:40pm for a 6:45pm start. Lindsey is MC and 45 minute lead and will get you into your groups. You may choose a tempo run, social run, a 45 minute out and back or a walk.

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

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).


Other Club Events This Week

Tuesday is the the Night Sugar fell race, which is in the Chepstow Harriers fell series.

On Friday it's the Beer and Banger, hosted by Nailsea running club. A 10k-ish road race, which is in our Club Championship this year.

You can find out more about our upcoming races and events via WotsOn and the Race Calendar


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!
