Snr Endurance Training suggestions for w/c 25/05 and w/c 01/06

Hi all
nSome thoughts below for seniors endurance and training for next two weeks. This takes into account the various virtual racing options (see Steve’s list) but with a main short term goal of being ready for a good Welsh castles leg on 6th/7th June. If you're not already signed up for the Virtual Castles speak to George Belfield asap.
n
nI’m also keen for as many Vets from the club to enter the BMAF National Road Relay (5k) champs now in mid June (14th through 20th)…this makes a competitive target for the club nationally and we have such a strong vets section to be proud of. You don't have to be a member of BMAF, being WADAC is enough.
nI hope to see many of you on the next senior evening zoom session on Tuesday 2nd June from 7pm. A chance to catch up with tips from the coaches, updates from the virtual race programme incl. the Welsh Castles, an interview/chat with a key senior member of WADAC plus a quiz to finish.
n
nKeep up the good work and do cherry pick from the below to fit with your own current goals and time available.
