Speed development – 1 mile time trial (3/9/26)

30 August 2026 - By Nadia Mcleod

This Thursday’s session will be a bit shorter than normal, but no less challenging – the one mile time trial is back.

We will meet outside Asda for 7.30pm and jog together up to Dancing Dicks Farm for a warm up. Then you will run one mile, aiming for faster than your 5k pace, starting at the farm and finishing under the viaduct on Blunts Hall Road.

There will be a cool down jog back to Asda and stretches to finish.

Why do a one mile time trial?

• measures your current fitness and gives you a benchmark
• helps you set training paces
• improves your speed endurance.

Please wear your hi-viz and lights from this week as the evenings are quickly getting darker.

James and I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.
