The Week Ahead 8 March 2010

The Severn Avenue session on Tuesday will give you just under 500 metres of fairly flat (but a testing little slope at the end) speed per loop with a slow jog recovery between each of the 8 or 10 efforts. Last time some of us found that we were taking it too fast at first, but then controlled our pace better: and control of pace is what you need in racing.

The alternative Hospital Hill aims to give you more strength – in your legs and upper body as you drive up the hills within the 40 secs effort. It should improve your running efficiency in general, and specifically your ability to glide effortlessly (!) up the slopes in the FoD course, and then push off the top with strong legs.

A good chance on Thursday to put in a ten-mile pace run with the over the Severn Bridge and back course.

Plenty of time after to change and get yourself down to the Bellhanger for CURRY NIGHT!!!

A call to arms for Sunday. The final LCL cross-country at Rogerstone, Newport is a vital race for Chepstow. Our men’s team are only a couple of points behind the leaders, so a good turnout could just get us success. Our women need a good performance to clinch first place. Come along and be part of a great Club experience. There will be cakes!!! And a pub visit!!!
