Training Schedule wc 13th April ??
We hope you and your loved ones are all keeping well in these, the strangest of times.
With no races on the horizon, training alone and garnering motivation may be a struggle at times. With this in mind the green and gold legend that is Paddy Dinsmore, has designed plans that all club members can follow, whatever your pace or ability.
He’s also taken the plunge on Strava, so make sure your elapsed time is bang on the money. ?
