TUESDAY TRACK TRAININGHi all. As most of you know tuesday night is our track night and recently we have had a good group of lads and ladies down and it would be great if more athletes could join in with us, anyone can join whatever your standard. Only problem is that the MAFIA come and take £1 off you each week.
Stan has a very good group of ladies who seem to be working very hard and looking at recent races the training as paying off , men also seem to be welcome in this group, no doubt Stan will post a reply explaining his training group.
The next group i am involved in. This has a group of about six runners that turn up week in week out and work very well as a group and are now seeing the benifits for some long hard sessions. We have four sessions which we rotate over three months then new sessions are drawn up.
SESSION FROM 12-12-2006
(1) PYRAMID (1*800m, 1* 1000m, 1* 1200m, 1* 1600m, 1*1200m 1*1000m, 1* 800m. 60 SECONDS RECOVERY FROM LAST RUNNER IN)
(2) 6 by 1200 meters with 60 seconds recovery
(3) two sets of 12 by 400m with 60 seconds recovery and one lap jog between sets.
(4) 1200m then 60 seconds recovery then 400m with 90 seconds recovery times four sets.
We have two more months of this session. This is a base session and people can fit into this as they please.
There is also a faster group which Pete runs with simmilar sessions.
Hope you can all make sense of this and i look forward to seeing more of you there 6:30 tuesdays.
We also do a fartlek on thursdays from the Bluebell 7:30 .

NEW SESSIONSHi everyone, The old sessions have now come to an end but don't sigh too soon, the new sessions may look easier but i am expecting the reps to be faster = more pain and lactic but by the end of this set you should start to see the benefits. Looking forward to seeing more of you down on tuesday nights.
( 1 ) PYRAMID
400m - 600m - 800m - 1000m - 1200m then back down to 400m. all with 1 min recovery
( 2 ) 8 x 2 min efforts 45 secs recovery.
( 3 ) 16 x 400m all with 45 secs recovery.
( 4 ) 5 x 800 - 6 x 400m alternating starting on 400 and finishing on 400 with 1 min recovery.
Stan also has a growing group with athletes of all abilities, and Pete has a group of faster athletes, so whatever your ability there is a group for you .

i went down tuesday but city youth were playing.
Where does the group train when this happens?

Jonny Gilby and I trained at East Cheshire Harriers. I spoke with ECH about using the track and they were a little concerned that they would not like to see hundreds flocking down as it is already very well used by adults and children who are members of ECH. They were happy if a few use it, as Simon Horsefield had some people to train with then.
I wont be down next Tuesday as we have a service to go to, but aim to be down as often as possible after that.

CITY RESERVESDon't bother with the fixture list it's well wrong, and no one seems to know when and where they are playing. They are playing next week at home but they don't know where home is, i thought home was sport city but they think it may be Hyde?

They are deffo on the pitch at sports city next week! I asked the women behind the counter and she looked in the diary. Apprently its City's stiffs v Bury's stiffs.

This is going to cause problems. We need a clear list of the fixtures and when it is open or closed.

I agree it is doing my head in. The track was open last night after all.

city reservesAt last, I seem to have spoken to someone who seems to have an idea.
The reserves have been playing their evening home games at Hyde because the floodlights at sportcity are not working as well as they should.
Next tuesdays game is at sport city but it is an afternoon kick off (2pm) so the track will be availlable for us to use in the evening. When the lights are fixed (when that is they don't know) the evening matches will come back to sport city. So I will phone the track each friday and find out if the track is available and i will post the info here. Hope this makes sence.

Do we yet have a list of when the track is being used for football games?
Last night we all get there and some team Called Hull were playing City!
They even asked Joe if he was after autographs!!!!
|
NAVIGATOR
|
No, any list they give you would be useless within 24 hours any way.
Track is open for public use tomorrow (tue 24th feb).
