Head Endurance Coach Nick Anderson shares his thoughts and the latest update on training (& racing) strategies for the coming fortnight.
Hi all,
Big well done to all at the New[ort marathon and 10k over the weekend…fab results! https://www.wadac.org.uk/news-and-results/2021/10/newport-results-are-in
Please also get booking onto the WADAC endurance christmas drink and celebration 15th December. Link below and please speak to Cathy/Kate if you have any questions.

Lots of ideas for training over the next 2 weeks below. Track this week and KG5 next week for grass reps. Each Thursday is currently a mixture of threshold and hill work meeting at KG5 6.50pm or River Walk just after 7pm. Please wear Hi Viz tops and/or bring a head torch for this workout.
Make sure you’ve registered for the XC season with Andy Parkinson and Charlotte Hoskins if you want to run the Hants leagues.
A further 160 places were released for the Victory 5 mile event in December earlier this week, please give this HRRL event a go if you can.
Lots going on guys so please keep training well and welcoming new members at training. We had 7 newcomers start with us over the last few sessions and thanks to Cathy for making all arrangements.
Please bring a change of shoes for the track sessions too, especially as autumn/winter rain has arrived.
Keep training well,
Coach
