Speed Development – 31 July 25 – Parklife

27 July 2025 - By Jodee Mayer

This Thursday it’s the return of the popular Parklife repetitions session.

Please meet at 7.30pm having done a warm up run beforehand so you’re ready to run – meeting at  usual spot in the smaller of the two Witham parks (w3w///hothouse.enormous.utter).

We will do some warm up drills before getting into the main session.

The session structure and focus is on running at speed and recovering which we’ll do via repetition efforts around the two adjacent Witham parks – one park is 400m ish and the other 450m ish. Recovery will be walking the connecting 150m footpath between the two parks.

Pace guidance is around your current 5k pace, or perhaps slightly quicker than that or “goal 5k pace” as I like to call it. The duration of the main session will be around 30 minutes.

We will then a cool down for anyone not running home.

For those attending the session, it is one for the lap button, but I have added a session into Final Surge for those that can’t make Thursday and want to do the session solo.

James and I look forward to meeting up with everyone on Thursday – don’t forget to put on bug spray and bring a drink please!
