Junior and Senior Leith Training and Running evenings

Our next session will be on Tuesday 3 August 2010. Juniors only. See times below for various age groups - note: seniors/masters training sessions will start again in October.

Co-ordinator Marc Boulle (specialises in 800m training with elements of distance training for road and cross-country up to ultra distance)

Juniors: Tuesdays from 4.00pm to approximately 5.00pm. Meet inside the Caledonian Stadium opposite the start line (beneath the Control Room).

Format for 3 August 2010 - Both Steve Skilling and Marc Boulle will be in attendance, this means that depending on numbers, after a warmup, the group will be split into two groups with more formal training in the form of a fartlek session available for the older juniors.

General Information on training format:
Note: these sessions will be easy paced, with the emphasis being on relaxed running, keeping form, technique and learning how to train for specific distances and over varied terrain.

Mostly done on the Caledonian Track and the surrounding bush tracks, includes fartlek (speedplay) sessions and/or easy running through the bush tracks and around Logan Park. There will also be game simulation adhancing running skills for the younger juniors. All training will conform to the five principles of training: specificity, overload, recovery, adaptation and reversibility. These principles will be constantly explained and emphasized. Also technique running - eg. how to start in an 800m, running in lanes (first 100m) and what to do from there. Running on bends, how and when to pass, track etiquette and more. How to run efficiently up or down hills and step training. Understanding interval and repetition training. Tips on how to fit in a running schedule with your work, school and other sports interests and how to use them to your advantage.
