Winter training kicking off this week

Posted by speedygeoff on Thursday, April 04, 2013 with
It is time to get our winter training plans, as well as our bodies, into shape. Winter starts when (a) the Canberra Runners Club start their winter series of races, and (b) when daylight saving ends and our evening training sessions need to be run under lights or in a well lit area.
This weekend is the start of our winter!
Decide which days you can attend our speed training, long runs, tempo runs, time trials, or racing!
Here is how we are kicking off

Friday 5 April a lunchtime handicap run at Customs Joggers (5k flat)
Saturday 6 April at 11:00am the YCRC race at Goorooyaroo.
Then we turn our clocks back an hour
Sunday 7 April at 7:30am intervals at Stromlo Forest Park
Monday 8 April, back to Parliament House for a 4:30 8k run and a 5:30pm interval session
Tuesday 9 April we start back at Dickson oval, 4:00pm for a long run and 5:30pm for track training under lights
Wednesday 10 April a lunchtime handicap 6k at BBQ Stakes (6k hilly)
Thursday 11 April at 6:00pm interval training at UC with the Bilbys

And so it will continue. It's a smorgasbord! Pick the training pattern that suits you which takes in some of these days, and make a commitment.

Except on Sunday 14 April when we will all troop down and watch, help, or compete in, the Canberra Marathon, on with the Australian Running Festival.

Good luck to all the speedygeese having a run in the marathon!
