Harriers Road Group – Week 7 -24th October 2011

Posted on by

Hi All,

Thanks and well done to everyone who ran in the relay earlier on Sunday, we got some good times in and there was a pretty good turn out with a dozen teams or so entered, mostly Harriers but some other local groups as well; I am waiting to get any details on the actual results, but there are some prizes knocking around that were picke dup from afterwards.

This week is the start of a new 6 week mesocycle with a focus on speed endurance work, this week is recovery week so only the three group sessions listed, and a steady run for the thrusday.  Over the next six weeks there are two track sessions, both with a focus on sprints and not endurance for a change, which means keeping the distances down to a maximum of 100s and 200s only; there are only two hill sessions planned for this mesocycle – Church St and Fleet St

Forthcoming races

20th November – Eaves Wood Trail race – Silverdale – RACE

This is a nice trail race just north of Morcombe and is 5.25 miles long; must enter beforehand as it always sells out before deadline. Info – http://eaveswoodtrail.blogspot.com/

26th November (Saturday) – Wesham 10k Road Race – Preston – RACE

The focus on this is for anyone doing 10k training to get a measure of their current pace on a road race; most of the training is done on trails and eventually up on the hills, and so a straight road race is good to fit in; there’s a few of them up to then end of the year, but this one was the first of those close by to us.   Entry Form – http://www.ukresults.net/forms/111126wesham.pdf

4th December – Sweatshop Santa Saunter- RACE (saunter?)

Looking to get us out for this one with santa outfits on – there’s this one and there will be another run later in December that will be organised by the club that have a focus on fun and we’re looking for good fancy dress or santa outfits rather than running it at pace; whilst this is technically kinda like a race, we’ll run this as a single group for those who turn up – santa suit needed !   Approx 4.5 miles multi-terrain, santa hat for entrants, coffee and mince pie to all finishers!
