Hiya,
in case I don't make hills tonight (working down west) is there a track session tomorrow?
if so what does it involve as I'm looking to get some speed work done (but not at James Bruce pace) and have struggled previously when doing it on my own.
cheers
chris

Not sure if the track is on but you are welcome to join us for reps at Heath Park at 6.45. We are not all James's pace if that is any help.

We meet at the corner of King George V Drive at the back of the Heath Hospital at 6.45 or at the rugby club at 6.30 to run to the same spot.

thanks Claire I've had to goto Aldershot so if I'm not at the park by 6.45 I'm not going to have got back in time.

Ok. No worries.
Just to let everyone know these are not official club sessions but speed work is a great way to improve your times.
I am not going to lie there are quick people that do these sessions but if others want to join us then they are more than welcome. The more people that come the more likely you are to get someone of a similar pace to run with. However they idea is for people to work fairly hard so gaps do appear between people but we do regroup or we can modify what to do to accommodate others.
At the moment most of the reps are long i.e. 1000m-2miles as most people are doing marathons but I don't run marathons and I do them as they really help. If you are new to the club and want to get faster then please join us.

Chris,
Clearly you did'nt make it tonight - I know how it goes when you get busy. As it gets to the summer we will move over to the parks - in the light with heath park its not safe to run on the road as the kids football is on the park and its crazy driver time with parents.
So we can certainly work something out if you come on a Tuesday. We do run fast(ish) and its quite few reps but its ways fine to do less and we do normally do some kind of handicap system (rough ish) so people more or less finish similar time..
but clearly you need to do what works for you..
cheers
James
