Thursday Speed Development Session – Half is Easy
17 August 2021 - By James Montgomery
All,
Please join myself and Becky for this week’s Thursday speed development session which will be a little different from the intended that may have been banded around. As we were unable to secure the Rickstones track for this session, we are going to use the playing field behind Aldi at the southern end of Witham. This is the same place as where the Strength and Conditioning sessions have been taking place on Wednesday evenings.
It’s all very simple. You will be aiming to run at max effort and it will be down to your team mates as to how much recovery you get.
Oh yes, team mates…. we are going to split you in to teams of (hopefully) 4, dependent on how many attend the session. Ideally, we want to split you into mixed ability teams so no one team gets a too long or a too short recovery and that things are more evened out.
You will run a short distance between two points with the emphasis on speed. Those of you that have done 30/30s, you need to think along those sort of terms as you will only be running for around 15-20 seconds between the two points, depending on how fast you run.
Recovery will partly be your run off from the effort and the time it takes to jog back to the start point, as it’ll almost be time to sprint again, but try to stay moving.
So why “half is easy”? You will do this continually for 30 minutes and you’ll soon work it out!
Something a little different and hope to see you on Thursday.
Please be ready for a 7:30 start, and try to do a short warmup before arriving, when we will go through the usual dynamics.
