Friday Night Track Schedule
-6th November - 4th December-

Home

Track Schedule – Again each session is aimed at improving the athletes pace judgement, whilst building up their stamina for the X country season and those in marathon training.  Remember between now and March/April those not in a Marathon should still be trying to build up their mileage to create stamina.  Thus making the summer speed distances of 5 and 10k etc easier. i.e With a good winters endurance training an athlete can run faster for longer over shorter distances in the Summer.

6th November 2009

Usual warm ups and stretching followed by:

6 x 1000m with 2 minute recovery between each effort for all groups, however each K should be run in the athletes 5k time.  Therefore an athlete who runs 20mins for 5K will complete each effort in 4minutes.

Group 1:          3.45 – 4.15

Group 2:          4.15 – 5.00

Group 3:          5.00 – 6.00

Group 4:          6.00 + 

 

13th November 2009

8 x 400 metres

Staggered after the first 400.

20th November 2009

Those running in the St Neots half should be running easy almost half pace.

4 x 400 metres:

Group 1: no slower than 1.30, Group 2: 1.30 – 2.15, Group 3 2.15 – 3.00, Group 4: 3.00 +

1 x 800 metres

Group 1: no slower than 3.00, Group 2: 3.00 – 4.30, Group 3: 4.30 – 6.00, Group 4: 6.00 +

4 x 400 metres: Repeat as above.

This is quite a tough session however each athlete must run their 400metre effort to allow them to be able to run another 7 at this pace.  They must also consider the fact that the 800 metres has only had its time and distance doubled which means that they are expected to keep the same pace for double the distance! 

27th November 2009 - Ladder

1 x 400

Group 1: no slower than 1.30, Group 2: 1.30 – 2.15, Group 3: 2.15 – 3.00, Group 4: 3.00 +

1 x 600

Group 1: no slower than 2.15, Group 2: 2.15 – 3.25, Group 3 3.25 – 4.30, Group 4: 4.30 +

1 x 800 thereafter each group will need to add on the time it takes them to run another 200.  As an example Group 1 runs each 200m in 45 seconds so their 800m time will be 2.15 (600m) + 45 secs = 800m in 3.00mins.

1 x 1000 thereafter each group will need to add on the time it takes them to run another 200

1 x 1200 thereafter each group will need to add on the time it takes them to run another 200

1 x 1600 Group 1: No slower than 6mins, Group 2: 6mins – 9mins, Group 3: 9mins – 12mins, Group 4: 12 mins +.

4th December 2009 – Parlaufs
