coach

Alan, Sue, Vicky, Carol and John all qualified on 8/7/07 as level 2 athletics coaches with UK:Athletics, specialising in endurance running. Club members must all feel free to approach any one of them for help and advice with any aspect of their training.

It's time to get ready for mud & hills. Exmoor Stagger & Christmas Caper. Cross Country starts again in Sept.

Thursday Nights Speed Sessions - 7pm Tarka Tennis Centre
You are all most welcome to join us on Thursday nights for some quality sessions. It doesn't matter what pace you run at, as long as you are prepared to work hard. There is no hiding place and I will spot it if you are slacking, but it will improve your running and lead to pb's and an inner glow of satisfaction at the end of the night. We usually train around the Rock Park, but will move to the Park School grass track after Easter.

A typical session involves:

  • 6 x 800m with 3 min recoveries
  • 12 x 400m with 90 sec recoveries
  • pyramid session with efforts from 200m - 1Mile
  • Fartlekng
  • Hills

It is possible that you may even enjoy it and if you don't, I will be having lots of fun watching you suffer. Come and talk to Vicky for more details.
