Running Training Information

Club running sessions are held on Tuesdays. Other running may take place during "bike/run" training.

Tuesday Sessions

Venue: Body Limits gymnasium in Newport Pagnell

Parking: Please park in the car parks in Newport Pagnell as local residents have complained about losing their parking spaces outside their own houses in the roads adjoining Body Limits.

Standard: Caters for all abilities. The more there are, the easier to form groups of the appropriate standard. Sessions are structured to see a progression enabling peak performances to occur during the triathlon season.

Day/Time: Start at Tuesdays / 19:00

Season

Typical sessions

Autumn/Winter
Running groups of various standards set off doing between 50-70 minutes of work including intervals. The intevals are set by club coach Mark Booth and are designed to build peoples abilities up over the winter months.
A predict your time over 10k run and a run led by a bike that accelerates gradually until even the fastest runner is dropped close to the end both feature during the winter months. These 2 special runs are normally followed by a curry or thai meal with the winner getting their meal paid for by everyone else.
Spring
Interval sets on the redways. Normally determined by duration of interval. i.e. (5mins hard, 2 mins easy) repeated 4 times.
Summer
Interval training in 2008 is mostly occurring round Tongwell Lake. The perimeter route is exactly one mile and 400m split points are known by quite a few regular runners. The jog out to Tongwell from Body Limits normally takes 12-15 minutes.
