Training for week starting 5th Sept

-

 Hi all, yet another good week of training in the bag with a few of you coming to the end of your race build up. If you are racing next weekend then you won’t be doing hills on Tuesday. And if you’re not racing the last in the Telford series on Wednesday your session will be a very simple one this Tuesday - feel free to do this on your own. I won’t be t the club Tuesday. 


15 mins easy running then 8 x 45 secs off 1 min full recovery. Effort needs to be about 80%. So quick but not flat out. This is just to get the legs feeling lose. Then 15 mins easy running.


Everyone else: 


Tuesday 6.30pm meet at Aldersely Stadium hills over at the Mitre with Abbo - everyone welcome to come along


Saturday Parkrun (anyone of your choice) get a time in and then do 10 x 25 secs on a short hill. Recovery jog / walk back down.


I won’t be around this week - I will be using the time to write 1-1 programmes and I’ve got lots of races to organise for the club. 


On that note don’t forget the Coleman mile on the 20th Sept. You can enter at the club on Tuesday. £2. Some good news we’re bringing the Turkey Trot back! It’ll be December 18th this year. And we’ve got a late morning early afternoon start for you. We’ve replaced the frozen Turkey (I know some of you like a frozen bird) with a great technical tee (yes we definitely will have tees unlike some other local races!) and a medal. The price will be very competitive too. We will also notify you about how you can get a half price place if you volunteer at some of our league races over the next few months. 

The first will be the Midlands cross country relays at the stadium 22nd Oct. We need as many volunteers as possible and in return you’ll get your lunch and a half price entry into the Turkey Trot! If you can’t do it find a friend or a relative and use their entry!!!!!

Well done all for another great week of training. Some tough sessions in the bag — and our first cross-country training session successfully completed too. A big shout-out to everyone who took part in the Wolves Coleman Mile this week as well. A fantastic debut from Joe Marples, and it was superb to see Lucy Calrow back on the track with the club. Young James Neilson ran an excellent race, holding off the likes of our own Alex Blair, who is getting quicker by the day. James won the overall men’s event in a brilliant time of 4:36.3, which isn’t far off the record. Other regular members of our group who put in great mile performances were Jay Patel, Paul Rogers, and the very speedy Paul Dean, who finished 3rd overall. And a personal shout-out to my favourite child — [only joking!] Serge — who took the win in his race. Also in that race was Megan White, who won the overall ladies’ category. A big shout-out to Jon Hart too, who finished 2nd in his age group and 10th overall in the England ...

  Hello! Some fantastic training completed recently and some great racing to celebrate. Congratulations to Gary Worrall , who represented Worcestershire in the Inter-Counties Cross Country —a stacked field! Always great to earn a county senior vest . Alex Blair ran a PB at the Battersea Half Marathon across the full distance (77 minutes) and also smashed his 10K PB . He’s looking strong for his upcoming marathon—his training is really paying off. Big shoutout to Alex’s brother, Matt , who is absolutely smashing his running, too. We’ve got our eye on you, sir! Good genes. Tom Pryor also did himself proud at the Chester 10K , setting a fantastic PB of 37 minutes . The last couple of miles looked tough, but what a great winter he’s had! Excited to see what he can do on the track this season. Jonny Morris and Dan Turner also smashed their recent half marathons last weekend both running a superb 70 minutes. Well done lads.  The Spring Relays are coming up, and you all kn...

Give us a follow on Instagram:  trx_renagade_running Hello everyone, Well done again on another great weekend of training – the improvements are really showing. It’s time to start thinking about upcoming races like Mid Cheshire, Ellerdine, and the relays. Even though I’ve left Wolves, I’d still encourage you to support your clubs and run a relay leg if you can. Before long, the Cross Country season will kick off at Wolves Stadium with the Midland Cross Country Relays. Think ahead now about which races you want to do in late summer and early winter. And of course, for the men – you’ve earned your right to go and smash the First Division in the Birmingham League. Get out there and show them what you can do! For those talking about marathon training – start increasing your weekly volume gradually, especially Wednesdays and Sundays. Don’t jump into high mileage too fast. And remember: not every session needs to be an all-out effort. For a marathon, focus on building a strong engine and...
