Snr Endurance Training suggestions for w/c 20/07 and w/c 27/07
Hi all,
nMy training thoughts for the next two weeks are below. Great to see so many faces at our Tuesday and Thursday Gater field sessions. We can now take 10-15 on a Tuesday and a regular 15 on a Thursday. There are always a few spaces left on a Thursday so do speak to both Pete and Kathy to register and come along. I’m hopeful EA will soon allow greater numbers and more normal club nights to resume with social distancing. We will stay on Gater Field until September and then move to King George V for autumn/winter training along with some road sessions.
nI have included options for Lakeside 5k in week one and RR10 (10) in week two for those keen to race.
nMy focus is still on building a marathon phase for many hopeful something might come of VLM or Brighton. As discussed, this phase is all money in the bank for the autumn and next year anyway. Options also exist for many not doing an autumn marathon and looking to enjoy the RR10, Lakeside and general 5k-10k theme.
nKeep up the good work and see you next week!
