The Week Ahead 15 March 2010

Less than two weeks to go to the FoD Half so think carefully about what sessions to do and how many efforts and at what intensity. Remember it’s the S Bridge 5k on Thursday – the last chance to have a good blast before starting your pre-race taper.

So Tuesday’s choice is 400 metre bursts down the Link Road. If you’re planning to do them at the designated 3k race pace, then you might limit the quantity. Or you might choose a slower group than usual and cruise the full amount.

The Danes Loop (as opposed to the figure of 8 with the steps) is the alternative. Either go hard for three, or maybe try them at your Half Marathon race pace in which case you should do the full whack.

A few members are doing the Chedworth Roman 10 multi-terrain over in Gloucestershire on Sunday as preparation for the Half. You can still enter at £6.  Quite a tough race depending on how hard you want to race it. If we get little rain by then you could get by in road shoes, but they will get wet in the river crossing!
