1. EA Run Coaching Programme – STARTS Tuesday 31st August 19:00 Chantry field
We will be combining both Tuesday coaching groups on Tuesday 31st August for an EA supported session with guest coach Kerry Newell. Meeting at Chantry Playing Fields, Thornbury (opposite Castle School 6th Form) for 7:00pm start. Kerry is the England Masters Marathon Team Coach and has coached runners up to U20 European Gold Medal at 5,000m. Session is open to all Members and will include:
• Intro talk on – Energy systems – Why we use all 3 in our running; Foot placement – Does foot strike matter?
• Warm up and drills (ABC’s, strides)
• Threshold and alactic sessions
• Cooldown and stretches
2. Inside or Out? – From Thursday 2nd September.
• We will be using the ‘Dance Studio’ which is 2.5 times the size of the old room and has opening doors for improved ventilation. The Room will be available from 6:30 for anyone who wanted to meet inside and leave anything. There will be no announcements.
• People who don’t want to go inside should continue to meet in the car park, as we have done for the past 18 months
• Those inside need to make their way outside via the double opening doors to join the others in the car park for a 7:00 prompt run start.
• After the run tea and biscuits will be available in the Dance Studio for those who want it. We will need to start a new tea rota. Anyone on the run leader rota will be exempted from the tea rota.
• This allows everyone to participate at their own personal comfort level and to adapt as they become more at ease with the situation and / or the weather changes.
