Speed Sessions and Festive Themed Runs 🎅🏻 ⛄️ I have attached the full Training Plan for December below. 👇🏻 As usual, each group has been assigned a letter from A to E.

The categories are as follows and can be seen in greater detail on the colourful image below: A - Long Repeats B - Short Repeats C - Interval Training D - Hills/Steps E - Other (such as Medley, Fartlek and Tempo) As you can see on the plan, we have three nights consisting of the usual speed sessions, and three Christmas themed runs. All sessions in December will be from the clubhouse. The Christmas Cracker Relays will take place on Thursday 12th.…

❗️28/11/24 CLUB SESSIONS CANCELLED❗️ Hi everyone, following a discussion with the committee we have made the difficult decision to cancel tonight’s official club sessions. 😟 Paths around the club are icy and unsafe for speed sessions to place. It is also unfair to ask our coaches to lead sessions in coniditions which may not be safe. Members and coaches safety is as always our priority so I hope you can all understand the reasoning behind the decision. Thanks
