Training

This 30-45 minute weekly session will provide runners with a specific technical focus that they can use during warm up routines in particular. Our aim is to improve your coordination and skill making you a more efficient runner who is less susceptible to injury.

We’ll be meeting near the Hamilton Panther clubhouse on Knavesmire Road. There is parking available along the road.

We look forward to seeing you there, Brian and Becky

Please sign in to the attendance book before commencement of the training session.

Follow Coach instructions and maintain social distance.

Runners will be separated into groups and use designated lanes for efforts, overtaking and recovery.

Hopefully from October  2021

Thursday’s sessions will move to the underpass on York university road for hill reps. These will consist of short, medium, and long hills.   Threshold Session.

Hill reps help promote strength speed power and cardiovascular fitness.

Many runners only go on slow runs, staying away from speed work. While easy aerobic running is the basis of a training program, athletes can’t run slowly all of the time. Running slow all the time will just make you a slow runner. Once runners have a solid aerobic base of miles behind them, they need to incorporate faster workouts into their training program. Training using the whole continuum of paces, from slow running speeds to very fast speeds enhances both aerobic and anaerobic abilities. Fartleks, lactic threshold, intervals, and hill reps all can help runners learn a range of speeds and get FASTER.
