Snr Endurance Training suggestions for w/c 31/01 and w/c 07/02
Hi everybody,
nGood to see so many of you at the Tuesday evening WADAC track sessions. We had a record 85 attend last week and I can see this number growing further soon. Everything is working really well and a big thank you again to our assistant coaches and run leaders for helping once we break into our smaller groups for the main session after drills each week. This wouldn’t work without their help and also your own good track etiquette. Keep considering the following and thank you for doing a great job:
nLet’s always try to run no wider than 2 shoulder to shoulder and use lane 2 for our traffic flow (unless told to run in lane one) with lane 3 only for additional overtaking when required on a lap. When finishing a rep exit onto the inside of the track and then cross back over to your drinks or the wider group only when it's clear. Only exit a rep to the outside if you know nobody is about to overtake or is close behind you. If somebody shouts track continue to run in lane 2 as you have right of way but if stationary in another lane either step out of the way (if time) or stand still if unsure. The oncoming athlete can then move around you on this occasion. When on a recovery segment waiting for your next interval try to keep away from the inner lanes and jog only in the very outside lanes or on the perimeter pathway. Lane 5 is used by a speedy hurdles group who sometimes run 400’s so listen to my shouts of 'lane 5 clear and track’ from time to time.
nPlease get your entries in for the Salisbury 10 if you haven’t already and register for the Welsh Castle and/or chat with George Bellfield if you have any questions.
nFinally, we are very keen to put in more than one team for the Southern Rd relays on March 27th at Milton Keynes. A great event with hundreds of clubs from around the South taking part. Our men are already busy organising at least one team but we are keen to take at least 2 with alternating shorter and longer legs on the day. This was certainly a major fixture on my own racing calendar for decades and our own WADAC women have also won their event a few times over the last 20 years. Perhaps we can get a few ladies teams out with the 6 to score format. All fab fun and perhaps a warm up for those heading to the Welsh castles later this summer. Entry is by team managers (Sam Parky & Steve Oliver) so please sign-up via the WADAC website SEAA Relays
nKeep up the good work everybody,
nCoach
