The first of the track taster sessions took place this morning at Amble running track
8 athletes braved the -2 degrees and came out.
The session was all about stamina and pacing, running every lap at exactly the same pace as the first lap.
4.5 miles was run in the 45 min session, which was kept as brief as possible due to the cold weather.
There were some doubtful faces at the beginning when the athletes were told what pace to run (they all though the time was too slow) but I did get the feedback afterwards that it was amazing how hard it had been to maintain that pace throughout the session.
Other feedback was how great it was to run that type of session in a group rather than on your own.
There is another session next week, Saturday 21st Jan at 9am.
I have a link to the session we did this week and next week’s session so you can see the progression and plan it into your week Link 2
