Training Plans

Posted by speedygeoff on Wednesday, August 03, 2005 with
Hurray some nicer winter weather - or at least up to today. All being well all of our sessions at PH on Mondays & the AIS on Thursdays will continue as planned thru August and leading up to the CTFR on 18 September.
I plan to continue a series of time trials at the AIS, and a few short sharp runs as needed or when sprinters turn up. For CTFR preparation some runs of between 2k and 5k are called for so that is what we will do for the next few weeks.
At PH it depends somewhat on what areas are runnable or whether the powers that be make it impossible to train there by digging everything up. (So much for their work being finished in April, promises promises). What I would like to do there will include sets of shorter sprints than we have been doing, with longer recoveries, possibly in teams with batons if that is practical.
Only six weeks until the CTFR, means a bit of sharpening, race practice, and easing back from the very hard interval sessions.

p.s. I ran the BBQ stakes today for the first time ever. I have missed thousands of runs there!
