Wednesday Tempo Run Dec 11th

I get the impression that last week’s session was not the most popular one I have ever set! A more “normal” set this week., starting and finishing with a longish interval.

Session

Warm-up, run from the Straight Road or get to the business park a little early and get an easy lap in.

6 x 60m strides

5 minutes at tempo with 2 minute recovery jog

2 x 2 minutes at tempo with 1 minute recovery jog

2 x 4 minutes at tempo with 2 minute recovery jog

5 minutes at tempo

Easy jog back to the Straight Road if you started from there

All of the details on the poster, but for a long warm-up meet at the carpark on the city side of the Kingsley Hotel on the Straight Road opposite the Bean and Leaf Cafe at 6:30pm or alternatively meet at the first roundabout inside the Business and Technology Park on the Model Farm Road at 6:50pm. If you are going directly to the business park try to arrive a little early and get an easy warm-up in.

We keep saying this but the session is suitable for all levels as we run on a 1km loop so no one really gets dropped as there will be runners all along the loop. If you are a beginner or new to the club/sessions we would recommend going directly to the business park for the first couple of sessions until you get a feel for the format and meet some of the other club members. Everyone runs at a pace that is comfortable for them and there is no pressure to keep up with a group.

The loop is fully lit with street lighting but do try to wear some hi-viz clothing. The evening promises to be dry but on the cold side
