Hi all the training session for Tuesday 24th March 2020 is from Jim.
Hi everyone,
We are now in a general fitness phase for training and concentrating on maintaining the fitness we have built since September. Your sessions at this time should be hard but, not over strenuous.
Sessions should be on your own or maybe with one other athlete (please agree with your parent/guardian who you are with and where you complete session). You MUST maintain social distancing at all times. Hopefully you can find a park which is not too busy. If necessary, you might be able do session on quite road (be sure to wear good footwear).
Suggested session
Warm up: 5/10-minute easy jog followed by warm up drills
5 x 40m strides starting 50% ending at 90%
Main Set:
4 x 300m 3 minutes between each and at 70/75% of racing speed
8/10-minute break at end then:
3 x 200m or 150m 3 minutes between
5/10 minutes cool down
Don't forget to wash your hands and stay safe.
Thanks all and best to you and your families,
Jim O'Neill
