Club Training Monday 11th November - Brancumhall

This week is a pre-race week ahead of Brampton to Carlisle. All the sessions will be easy sessions with shorter strides/reps just to keep the legs spinning over without creating deep fatigue. Monday's Brancumhall session is the usual easy run to/from Brancumhall and the session is 6 easy laps with strides down the home straight to end each lap. i.e. 3 easy sides of the quadrangle and then pick it up for the final side of the lap back to the start. This is a continuous session, so don't stop at the end of each lap. The pick-ups should be a gradual acceleration to fast, relaxed running (i.e. faster than 5k pace but not sprinting) focusing on good running style. Doing these fast strides on grass will be easier on the muscles than doing them on the roads, which all helps arrive at Brampton with fresh legs.
