Sunday runs at various paces and distances are organised throughour members-only discussion group on facebook.
Monday
Meet at Dodder Valley opposite Speaker Conolly Car Park as usual at 6.50pm
Tuesday and Wednesday
Meet at Speaker Car Park at 6.50pm . Warm up properly. Session will start at 7.05pm .
It is 800s this week. Aim for 6 x 800s. Faster groups should do more.
Recovery a min of 2mins, possibly 3mins for the slower groups.
Aim to run at your 5k pace , maybe a little quicker. The aim is also to run each interval at the same pace. However bear in mind the profile of the 800s . We will start at the corner of the triangle and run up to Ahearnes entrance and that is your 800m. Going up you will be slower . So try to gauge your interval by effort rather than time. There is no doubt that coming back you will be at least 10secs quicker.
Take turns to lead out in your group. Have an idea of what you hope to run in the interval.

With lots of races postponed, it is a tricky time. But don't get disheartened. Stick with it and keep trying to get something from your runs or sessions. You may have to be inventive in setting little goals. Usually we all have races and times to set our focus. So why not decide that in your intervals to run them 5secs faster than normal, or cut your recovery by 15secs, or keep up with someone who is usually ahead of you. On your long run or easy run, throw in a few pick ups or finish with a strong last mile. Create little challenges to push yourself.
Above all stay positive, stay healthy , and stay patient. We are all in this together so lets all keep each other going.
