riggsy99 May 2019 9:43am, 31 May 2019 66 posts	0 riggsy99 Good points Gobi re sprints I like to put a run with some 100 metre strides in normally 6 or so sets with 20 seconds rest between each set working on form between each set This is normally part of a recovery run of 5 - 7 miles The strides are probably done at about 80-90% max speed
westmoors May 2019 9:52am, 31 May 2019 3,258 posts	0 westmoors A lot of the sprint drills we do in our warm ups anyway so I didn't mind them too much. It was the agility/circuits that I found tedious. If I wanted to do that I would sign up to a circuits class, not a running club! According to my Garmin we covered 0.8 mile in the 40 minute session, and most of that would have been walking between the stations!
Jenni-far-far May 2019 10:09am, 31 May 2019 310 posts	0 Jenni-far-far My club is a very informal one but we are having an intervals session over the lighter months. we do a 5k lap with intervals and then a short session of walk/jog/run (less than a mile in total) which is fab - the run segments are very short and I don't think I'd tried to "sprint" since school days, its a great feeling although at first it felt like I was going to fall over
DocMoye May 2019 10:10am, 31 May 2019 28,401 posts	0 DocMoye Thanks Gobi. That makes sense. I noted yesterday that when I had already done 8 miles and then started some intervals how they didn't feel as though as I expected, is that because it's a slighty different exercise and I hadn't fatigued those bits of me?

Gobi May 2019 10:18am, 31 May 2019 67,041 posts	0 Gobi After 8 miles you are probably not going hard enough in the effort. - Doc Must admit if I make it to running club I expect to run, unless it is called circuits - Westmoors
Gobi May 2019 10:19am, 31 May 2019 67,042 posts	0 Gobi Riggsy - I have said it before and will say it again If you go to 90% doing strides in a recovery run you just ruined your recovery run. The entire point of recovery is recovering

jabberknit May 2019 10:55pm, 31 May 2019 2,837 posts	0 jabberknit Woohoo, I am Very Happy - ran our club's 3 mile track handicap race this evening in the fastest time I've done for that distance or thereabouts (including 5ks) for years, 26:54, which gives me an old lady WAVA of just over 70, and promotes me to a Fetch Springbok standard! Gradually creeping towards a Silver - just need one more.
