Club Night Training Schedules

If anybody else is interested in helping out with coaching - particularly Lynn's Group - could they please let someone on the committee know.

What to expect from training with this group.
This year in our group we are going to do some more work on running technique and drills. We are going to incorporate a 4 week training plan for example, week 1 (3/02/10) easy week, weeks 2-4 increasing intensity in either speed or distance. The next week 1 (31/02/10) will be an easy week but slightly harder than the 1st week 1 and so on. We had our Base 1 training from Oct to Jan working on good running technique and now we are moving into Base 2 still working on technique but also upping the intensity up to end of Feb building the blocks to then move into the race season hopefully strong and injury free. This training should help those runners who are aiming for the Spring half’s and Marathon’s to plan their training other than the Wednesday session.

What to expect at Bert's Group
1/ All standards welcome; our aim is to improve technique and times. 2/ All sessions will be hard
work and structured towards improving times and endurance. 3/ Speed work. 4/ Interval training.
Over and above our sessions on a wed night we will be organising Sunday morning runs anywhere between 10 and 15 miles (nice easy paced runs). No one will be left behind I promise, so don't be frightened to come along. Venues and start times will be arranged on wed nights hopefully to suit everyone.
