Training Plan wc 22 Mar 💚💛

We’re into the final stretch folks, only 1 more week to get through before club activity returns and I for one, cannot wait!
We also have another potential Junior member as Stephen Taylor and his wife Katherine, celebrated the arrival of Neve Marie. Huge congratulations to the Taylors, from us all.
Please remember that if you do train together, whether that be at an official club session or as a social run, that you always follow our Covid-19 Guidance.
If you aren’t able to get together then fear not, you can always drop by Strava or our other social media channels.

As always, let us know if you’ve any feedback or questions.

Zones and Pacing

Zone and target pace			HR
Very Easy	x 1.5	12:00	65%
Easy	x 1.3	10:22	72%
Marathon	x 1.09	08:45	83%
Threshold	x 1.04	08:16	87%
Interval	x 0.95	07:36	95%
Reps	x 0.87	07:00	98%
Fast	x 0.81	06:30	99%

Here’s the science bit, all times below based on running at 8 mins per mile for a 10k. You may need to adjust the timings for your own individual pace.

Following feedback we’ve created a pace calculator to allow you to work out your target paces easily, just enter your target 10k time in the h:mm:ss format and let it do the hard work for you.
For example 45 minutes would be 0:45:00, 65 minutes would be 1:05:00
