We were lucky enough this week to have our track taster session taken by renowned coach Geoff Watkin. Geoff’s alumni include Team GB Cross Country twins Joe and Tom Wade and Rio Olympian Jess Andrews.
The focus of the session was performance and recovery. The Roadrunners were encouraged to push faster than their normal race pace through intervals of 1600m, 800m and 200m with 1 minute recovery in between.
Hugely positive feedback from all that participated, many seeing their mile averages significantly faster than usual.
Our Men’s captain Darren Cole takes our club track sessions every Tuesday night at The Fairway in Sandown. After this taster session, his job is about to become a whole lot busier with roadrunners bitten by the track bug.
