Continuing Tuesday Speed Endurance Training Sessions starting at 7pm.

For March – we will move to a set of Hill Reps on Ghyll Wood Drive – great for your general running strength, and getting your legs and body ready for those races with hills – like the Three Peaks (or any fell race!), the Rob Burrows Marathon and the Ilkley Half. Shorter, leg sharpener, reps for those with a near by short (5-10k) pace target, and longer reps for those targetting longer races especially those with hills.

General : Register (6.50-6.55) at the B&B Sports Club for a 7pm start. Tue Training sessions are based at Beckfoot School on grass or the B&B Sports Club fields depending on availability, or off-site at a suitable stretch of road or hill : check on Team App for meeting and training location.
A key target is to improve your 5-10k pace by working on your running speed and strength, and prepare you to represent the club in the forth coming Cross Country season.
The session is suitable for a wide range of running paces – the key thing is that you want to run faster. To get the most out of this for your running performance you need to attend regularly and have a regular weekly running schedule. Guidance will be available.

Since Aug 22 the Tues Endurance training has built from 300m reps at a strong pace with 1 minute recovery, to half mile reps with a 2 min recovery, with some hill reps on Ghyll Wood to improve your running strength and style. Working with a group at a similar pace to help with pacing, motivation, and a little friendly competition. Your pace will depend on your current running pace – a 5k or Park Run time is a useful indicator. Since then a number of runners from the group have improved their 5k times with Parkrun or 10k PBs. Well done.

Training fees will be payable – initially as at B&B i.e. £1 for Members, £2 for Guests. A quarterly Pass (Members only) to cover Tue & Thu sessions £9 or an Annual Pass for £36 – online via Team App shop. Longer term this is under review and may need to be revised to ensure we cover the costs of our training locations.
