Wednesday 10th June – Back at the Track

We have been told that the track will be reopened on Wednesday after checks by the company doing the lining. Just to be certain assume we will be on the track if there is any late change it will be posted on the club WhatsApp chats. We will start back with a basic set that we have done on a few occasions. It is a mix of 400s, 800s and 1600. The usual target for this set, that is to set a pace for the 400s that you can hold through the 800s and the 1600m.

Session

Easy warm up laps

Dynamic stretch

Strides

4 x 400m with 200m easy recovery

2 x 800m with 400m easy recovery

1600m at the same pace as the 400s

Cool down

If you have run 90s for the 400s you should be running 3:00m for the 800s and 6:00m for the 1600m, this is not as easy as it sounds.

We will be back to the usual arrangements, the session is on the Sonia O’Sullivan Track in the UCC Sports Complex on the Mardyke, the session starts at 7:00pm sharp. There are dressing room and toilet facilities in the pavilion adjacent to the track but there is no parking for participants inside the complex.
