Tuesday Training

Tuesday training – Burbage woods off Smithy Lane

Just over 0.5 mile loop in the woods at current 5k race pace effort, in groups of similar ability.

30 seconds to recover.

Session 25 mins

Working on stressing your VO2 max (aerobic power) – good for parkruns. Also the session will help with leg strength and get you into the cross country mood!

Not sure how much longer we will have the weather and light evenings. Thought this would be a bit different.

Off road in Burbage woods – hopefully underfoot won’t be too bad, probably best not having slick soles though.

Usual meet at the Leisure Center at 18:15 for a 18:30 departure.

Hollycroft park

I will meet you there, come in the entrance on Hollycroft at the bottom of the hill.

We will be doing about 1/2m at just quicker than 5k pace, with 1/4 recovery jog. Using the left side of the park (looking from the bottom). So up then down the hill, so try for an even effort rather than pace. 2 loops at effort, then 1 recovery loop for you to regroup, have a social chat etc ?

Worth bringing water folks, it might be warm.

Purpose is to improve your VO2 Max.
