Marathon Training Sessions (Want to join in? See bottom of page)
I UPDATE LISTS EVERY WEDNESDAY MORNING. IF YOU EMAIL AFTER THAT YOU WILL BE ADDED THE FOLLOWING WEEK.
Thanks everyone for signing up. We'll be organising group runs most weeks on the build up to the spring marathons.
How it works:
- We've split the runners into 5 groups according to ability / target marathon times
- You can change group if you would like
- Each group has two leaders who will email each week the plan for the weekend
- The groups will do similar routes but it may vary
- We try and have a set distance and then an option to go further
- We'll have 3 key routes we do regularly so there is change but you can also benchmark your improvement
- We'll also aim to do races together in 2012 (Chasers 20 mile race on March 4th, Cranleigh 15/21 on March 25th and Paddock Wood Half Marathon on April 1st)
- We'll also have socials and advice sessions
Want to join in the training Groups? Here's how.....
Running Virgin London Marathon, Vienna, Rotterdam, Paris, Brighton, Bungay??.... or indeed any spring marathon then these are the weekend training sessions for you!!
Each year on the build up to the April marathons we get this group set up with the aim to get regular weekend run's going to support your marathon training programmes and to team you up with people around your ability, gain training partners and offer support for longer distance training and racing. It seems to have worked really well for the last two years.
