HM/10km training group - 18/07/2023 Overview

NOTE as of 4th July 
THIS GROUP IS NOW FULL, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAITING LIST IN CASE ANYONE NEEDS TO STEP DOWN




We are pleased to invite you to join us for a 10 week structured training program to build towards the Leicester Half Marathon or 10km on 1st October
Please confirm that you have entered -→ https://leicestermarathon.org.uk/  

We have arranged to have to have Sam Batten, Lou Harvey and Steve King as coaches to help you reach your potential and hopefully learn how progress, run with better form/effectiveness and hopefully we can have some fun along the way.  

The target range for the half is nominally 1:45 to 2:05  that way we can give you the attention & support you need, we may need separate groups to provide that.

The program of training sessions on a Tuesday will be the same for both the target half marathon group as well as the alternative 10km runners.
However HOMEWORK will obviously need to include more volume for those running twice as far

You will be invited to a whatsapp group, ….In which we encourage you to arrange group homework runs, as it's just easier and more fun to run with a herd.  ask questions, banter and that to bring you all together as ‘The team’…plus we will be looking for weekly feedback.

Basic structure will be harder/shorter intervals on a Tuesday,  Tempo intervals on say Thursday and a long run at the weekend….plus easy recovery runs as filler/volume.     We know it's holiday season so we have flexibility for easy weeks.
we will encourage you to do some strength & conditioning, RAMP warm ups, race prep sessions, pre-activation, how to use your watch for the sessions etc 

To assist with your training, we intend to use the current Thursday runs for the tempo, and also introduce Sunday runs….those not on the training course more than welcome to join us.
