This week's Thursday track session:
30 mins of 800m reps - 10k pace with 90sec static recovery.
Warm up at 7 pm and we will be aiming to start the session at 7.15 pm. If you cannot make 7 pm, please arrive warmed-up and ready to go at 7.15 pm.
When running at the track, be sure to follow the usual track etiquette. This is:
You should only run around the track anti-clockwise. You should run in lane 1 and overtake on the righthand side of other runners.
If you are being overtaken stay in lane 1.
if you need to make someone aware of your presence, shout "track"
If you are jogging or walking, do so either in the grass or in lane 8. Do not come to a dead stop on the track: leave the track then stop.
Do not walk across the throwing area.
Do not run two abreast.
Bags can be left at the start line as I'll be with them throughout the session but they will be left at your own risk. The session will be time-based so that everyone leaves together.

I'm going to be running around the Battersea Millennial Park track for 24 hrs, starting on Saturday, Sept 21st at 12pm. I'm looking for volunteers to help crew me over the 24-hr period. I will aim to be self-sufficient throughout the night, but if you'd like to come down and help me in the middle of the night, that would be very cool too :) I plan to repay everyone's efforts with a pizza gathering at some point (pending survival). In the sign-up comments, let me know when you might be able to come down and I'll start putting together a handy spreadsheet. Thank you!!

Description
|
Parkland setting , undulating course with one steep climb per large lap on grass and woodland paths. The grass in the start /finish area may not have been cut and will therefore be quite long. This may restrict the ability of clubs to put up their small tents and generally limit the space in the area. The running surface will therefore not be ideal. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
U11 course
|
One small lap, 1500 metres. |
||
|
U13 course
|
Two small laps 3000 metres. |
||
|
U15/U17 course
|
One small, one large lap 4200 metres. |
||
|
Senior course
|
Three large laps 8100 metres. |
