Another great track session tonight at Becketts Park. A good turnout of about 10 Harriers and Otley AC athletes. My good friends Rogan (Otley) and Steve Weston making first time appearances tonight.
3 sets of 600m/800m/1000. 7.2km in total. All at about 1:30 per 400m or slightly faster for the last set.
I decided to run with the "group", who were just behind me last week. Dropping a little in pace helps me focus on posture and technique and is a lot more sociable.
Our coach, Pete Shields posted to the IH forum:
"just a little update on Ilkley at the track! We had our third session last night and there were 10 of us there. The sessions are being based at the moment on increasing our 10,000 mtre speed. Those attending are working as a group and i've got to say it is working very well, they are being very disciplined in their approach and are already looking to bring their lap times down throughout the session. It's not often you can get a group who want to work together like this but when you do the benefits to its members are really positive. My experiences as Terry Lonergan would no doubt endorse are that working like this bring about really positive results. Wilf Paish the olympic coach, who also takes a session has been observing the Ilkley group and has commented on the group dynamic and I think is secretly monitoring its progress."
