Lunchtime Club Runs Resurgence
The graduation of our Couch to 5k members has proven just the stimulus we needed to rejuvenate the lunchtime club runs.

Thursdays they’ll meet at the same time at the Royal Oak for a group run in their lunch break.

Non-stop runners meeting at the Prestbury Park Playing Field
Warm up with the standard 30sec fast, 60 seconds back for 5 reps followed by our standard stretches. You can do this on the grass, out of the way of those already using the track.
For the main set we’re back to 800m fast with 90 second slow jog x 8-10reps. I’ve provided a range as those in the slower groups will take longer to run each rep.
Below you’ll find a target speed to aim for in the first half of your workout. If you’re feeling good in the second half then you’re welcome to speed up.
Here are some details specific to your group:
7s complete 8 reps aiming for 8kph on the fast periods
8s complete 8 reps aiming for 9kph on the fast periods
9s complete 9 reps aiming for 10kph on the fast periods
10s complete 9 reps aiming for 11kph on the fast periods
11s complete 10 reps aiming for 12kph on the fast periods
12s complete 10 reps aiming for 13kph on the fast periods
13s complete 10 reps aiming for 14kph on the fast periods
