Speed & Sprint sessions
These sessions take place every other Monday, the venue varies depending on the time of year, full details of each session is on Spond.
What is this and who is it for?
This is for any members who want to get quicker over which ever distance you’re working on but it’s always good idea to start with your 5K time.
Whilst it’s for all abilities think about your own personal goal, so being able to run a 5k is a good starting point and have a desire to improve your time, or is your goal to be able to run a 5k without stopping. This is about you.
Our Leaders for these sessions are Nikk Shivlock, Bryn Thomas and Nigel Ravilious who work out the sessions for you, set it up and guide & support you.
Starting with a warm up, the session will include sprint intervals over different distances, ie 100m, 200m, plus etc. after each sprint there will be a recovery period, then the sprint/recovery pattern will repeat. Sessions will close with a cool down.
Wednesday Club training runs
These sessions take place every Wednesday evening from 6:15pm at our HQ Creasey Park Community Football Centre, Creasey Park Dr, Dunstable LU6 1BB.
We begin each session with announcements: celebrating running that’s taken place over the previous weekend, and remind members of what’s coming up. We also celebrate our Runner of the Month in these announcements.
Of course, we now take a Club photo, compulsory, and our Leaders will organise members into running groups: ranging from 8mm to 12mm.
These sessions are for our members, join a group that suits you on the day. If you are working on your speed and feel that you’re ready to move up to the next group, inform the Leader so that they’re aware.
Please read the Guidelines for Running Groups so everyone is clear about the responsibilities of leaders and runners. click here
