| March Training Note to Athletes |
Athletes,
The introduction of some higher intensity sessions proved to be no problem for the majority of our Tuesday night runners and Thursday night bikers.
March will see another increase in intensity but a reduction in volume i.e. training sessions will become a little harder but will be relatively short in duration.
| Running |
The Tuesday night running session will now start at 2030 to accommodate athletes going to the swim session afterwards. We will be introducing some hill repeats into the session which involves running up a hill a set number of times and recovering on the way down. The duration of the session will be approximately 50mins due to the increase in intensity, you’ll love hills after march!
The Sunday long run will continue also with a time change from 0930 to 0900 at the gate of Union wood. Pace is around 10km/h, everyone is welcome.
| Cycling |
The official club sessions have commenced with varied numbers. I would urge athletes to attend this session as there are some very experienced riders turning up that you can tap for a bit of info/free coaching. The session starts @ 0900 from Summerhill car park beside the roundabout. A small group are also meeting up @ 0800 from Summerhill which anyone is free to join.
Thursday TT and SAC are back after a small break for the mid term. Tonight’s session will be light enough dealing with leg speed rather than power. Anyone racing at the weekend should be there as it is a relatively light session. The rest of March will be taken up with building some leg strength, be prepared to sweat.
| Swimming |
Swimming sessions continue Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evenings with a new class starting on Saturday’s so get on it.
Strength and Conditioning
SAC continues every Thursday after the turbo session. There is serious progress being made by all athletes attending this session, keep up the good work.
See you at training,
Regards,
