This week we are moving on to 1200s, three laps of the track. As we go to longer intervals the sessions get a little more difficult. For anyone going long, half ironman, full or the Lost Sheep the longer interval sessions are key. As usual, try to keep the session even across the 4 intervals and within each interval even pace across the the three laps. The three groups are working out really well over the last few weeks, interestingly the back end of each of the groups is running about the same time as the front end of the group behind. The leaders of groups two and three could consider moving to the group ahead to challenge themselves and see how they hold up.
Session
Easy warm up
Dynamic stretch
Strides
4 x 1200m with slow 400m easy recovery
Cool down
As usual the session takes place on the Sonia O’Sullivan track in the UCC Sports Complex on the Mardyke. The session starts at 7:00pm sharp. For anyone who wants to, the track is not used for the hour before us, so it is possible to arrive early and do a longer warm up. There are changing, shower and toilet facilities but there is no parking for participants
