For the last couple of weeks of term, training is about staying loose,
generating a bit of speed and generally enjoying running as much as
possible. If you're competing in the Boundary Run, then I'd suggest taking
things easy this week in preparation - so ease off on some of the steady
runs and the session on Thursday. If you're already looking towards the
track season, then there will be chances on Tuesdays and Thursdays to start
some speed preparation.

This term there will be a slightly different session each Thursday. This is

lectures/lab classes, or those that are starting to think about trackwork,
as they will in general be shorter and faster than the main session.

6.15pm!

***The Cambridge Boundary Run***

We are organising a marathon/half-marathon around the city of Cambridge and
there is still time to enter if you want to compete - see
www.cuhh.org.uk/competition/boundaryrun/boundaryrun2010/
  for more details.
If you would like to help out with the race (marshalling, drinks stations,
timing etc.) we would be very grateful and you should get in touch with Tim
Pattison (trp26@cam.ac.uk). If you would like a normal long run instead:

10.00am meet at St John's plodge: Long run: 60'-90'+ (suggested route:
Waterbeach, with optional cutback at Bait's Bite for a shorter run)

 

 

 

KEY:

Sessions are colour-coded to help you get an idea of what to expect.

BlueThe session is suitable for all. On steady runs for example, there will be slow, medium and fast groups so that everyone has someone to run with.
RedThe session is fairly intense and there will be many experienced runners present. However, again everyone is welcome regardless of standard so don't be put off. In intervals sessions we regroup on several occasions so you wont be left on your own.
GreenA general strength and fitness workout. No running apart from easy warm-up and cool-down. Suitable and recommended for all.

More in-depth descriptions of each type of session, along with why we do them, can be found here.
