Training Plan wc 29 Mar 💚💛

Please remember that if you do train together, whether that be at an official club session or as a social run, that you always follow our Covid-19 Guidance.
If you aren’t able to get together then fear not, you can always drop by Strava or our other social media channels.

As always, let us know if you’ve any feedback or questions.

Paddy’s patter

We’re finally back folks! After what seems forever, in a tough winter lockdown, it’s going to be brilliant to have our club sessions on again this week.
Hopefully this is the start of not only a great summer but a return to some form of normality.
Let’s get out there and make the most of it. I’m looking forward to seeing some beautiful running, mind!

Zones and Pacing

Zone and target pace			HR
Very Easy	x 1.5	12:00	65%
Easy	x 1.3	10:22	72%
Marathon	x 1.09	08:45	83%
Threshold	x 1.04	08:16	87%
Interval	x 0.95	07:36	95%
Reps	x 0.87	07:00	98%
Fast	x 0.81	06:30	99%

Here’s the science bit, all times below based on running at 8 mins per mile for a 10k. You may need to adjust the timings for your own individual pace.

Following feedback we’ve created a pace calculator to allow you to work out your target paces easily, just enter your target 10k time in the h:mm:ss format and let it do the hard work for you.
For example 45 minutes would be 0:45:00, 65 minutes would be 1:05:00
