Speed Development – 6th August 2026 – Parklife

2 August 2026 - By Karen Flowers

This Thursday sees the return of the popular Parklife repetitions session.

Please meet at 7:30pm having done a warm up beforehand so you are ready to run – meeting at the 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 – 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 ( “goal 5k pace”).

The duration of the session is around 30 minutes.

We will then cool down for anyone not running home.

For those attending the session this is one for the lap button.

Graham and I look forward to meeting everyone on Thursday – dont forget to bring water as it looks like it will be another warm evening.
