Next Monday & Wednesday Training Sessions
Dublin City Marathon (DCM) & Wicklow Cross Country (WCC)
The club is now gearing up for the DCM and WCC with 2 separate programmes in place. Can everyone PLEASE make a big effort to be at the track this coming Monday (August 10th) so that we can put groups and a plan into place.
Next week kicks off our Endurance/Cross Country Training Programme. Week 1 is as follows:
Monday 10th August – Track
2 x 800m 2 min recovery
2 x 400m 90 seconds recovery
5 minute jog
10 minute tempo run*
2 minute recovery
4 x 200m 1 minute recovery between each
*A tempo run is a faster-paced workout also known as a lactate-threshold, LT, or threshold run. Tempo pace is often described as “comfortably hard.” Tempo running improves a crucial physiological variable for running success: our metabolic fitness. Talk Test: A question like “Pace okay?” should be possible, but conversation won’t be.
Wednesday 12th August – Road
5 minute jog warm up
10 x 4 minute tempo with 2 minute recovery jog between each
Results
Aplauda Killiney Aquathon Saturday 25th July
I received this info last week after I had sent the newsletter. Lisa won the women’s event; she had the fastest swim of ANY contestant over the 1km distance and held on for the win with the 2nd fastest women’s run split – well done Lisa, great job!
Conor lso took part in this event to take 2nd place in the men’s race. He had the fastest 5km run but had a crappy swim (his words not mineJ) He missed out on 1st place by a second. Well done Conor still amazing!!
