These are organised training sessions. Everyone trains together.
"Intervals" are short runs at faster than normal pace with rest/recovery periods in between. They help improve speed and strength
In Summer we do intervals on the track, on grass and off road.
In Winter we use Stephenson Road (Lliswerry Side of Transporter Bridge) which is flat & well lit. Also some "favourite" safe/well lit hills.
Good fun, lots of banter and a little bit of pain!
Sunday - Long Slow Run (Conversational Pace)
If not a race day then this is easy run day.
