Tuesday training sessions.
Tuesday Training – 25 Feb
De La Bere Crescent, Burbage (behind the library). Paired ‘meet and greet’ session around the Crescent.
Partners will run hard up opposite sides of the Crescent until they meet, then recovery jog back down to the bottom the way you ran up; after 12-13 minutes, partners will swap sides and continue in the same way. Total session 25 mins continuous (with optional additional recovery before starting each loop again).
The diagram below tries to explain this!
Please note, it is just under 2 miles from HLC to the session (warm up route is shown below which we will lead). We will need to leave promptly at 6:30 in order to start the session by 6:50pm.For those who are going straight to the session, we would suggest that you arrive at 6:45pm and jog around the loop as your warm up – there is road parking on De La Bere Cresent and also on Lychgate Lane by the library.
Remember to dress to be seen!
See you therePenny and Aly

Tuesday Training – 15 Oct
Castle Street
Downhill Training
Why?
We tend to focus on ‘uphill training’, which gives us strong legs but doesn’t help our coordination. When running downhill you’ve probably noticed how difficult it is to move quickly without losing your balance. That’s because our legs ‘can’t handle’ the fast stride.
Solution
Sprinting downhill develops your coordination by forcing your legs to learn how to handle high-speed travel. This means your running speed on horizontal surfaces will increase because your peak stride rate will be more rapid (yey! ???)
SESSION:
30 minute Individual session
Running at 5k pace down Castle Street
Recovery – moderate pace up church walkOptional 2 minute break at the top
After 15 minutes switch to
Running at 5k pace down Church Walk
Recovery – moderate pace up Castle SteetTIPS AND TRICKS
– adjust your body position with a forward lean to keep you from hard heel striking.
-run softly with short strides and a high cadence.Charlotte
