We continue with our strength and endurance training at Brancumhall. I wish I had thought of this quip but I paraphrase the great Norwegian 400m hurdler Karsten Warholm when I say that the "WINter training is where the WIN comes from"!!

So the Brancumhall session is 7 x 1 lap at 5k to 8k race effort. Each lap is about 800m. As with last week, the recovery durations are pack dependent. For those packs that are running 5k in 22 minutes or less, the recovery is 2 minutes. For those packs running 5k in 22 to 26 minutes, the recovery is 2.5 minutes. For those packs running 5k in greater than 26 minutes, the recovery is 3 minutes. I recommend that everyone keeps their shirts on though, snow or no snow.
Should there be snow, then we shall move this session to the golf course. In this case, the session will be on the hill either side of the line of trees we used last time we did golf course reps. One rep will be two laps of that course. Warm up by running the lap up to the location for the reps and then cool down by returning by completing the lap to the club.
