Group Training Sessions - Where & When

shels4ever · 2008-12-29 13:45:37

Hi all, I think there was a thread for this somewhere before but can't seem to find it. If anyone is up for meeting up for some sessions in the park would be handy to post here. Looking to get a Fartlek session going or what ever session people like. Fartlek would be hany as you can mix up distance etc to include all…

Just an idea based on the recent phoenix park thread from the lads - do you think something like this might be handy as a sticky-type thing..? I'm injured at the moment so am not actually making these sessions but would hope to be back at some stage.

That's an excellent format, easier to make sense of than lists.

At Woddle's request I've renamed the Phoenix Park thread, I'll merge this in and hopefully spread this past just teh Jackeens

Let me know when you are back in action. Celbridge for Wednesday runs suits me down to the ground.

Myself and MCOS did a couple of speed sessions on the UL track (well he did speed, I did jogging behind him panting :P)

Anyone else in Limerick or any sessions?

Sure - the difference was the regularity thing. The park thread was about meeting up on a specific date - I am thinking a list that pretty much doesn't change much from week to week - maybe a biki entry would be better but sure we can try this for now.

Tuesdays on the UL track. West Limerick AC do an interval session but its open and kicks off at about 7 after the Coach takes the group through a warm up routine. I've been there the last 2 weeks and will proabably continue for the summer. I'm also usually early and looking for someone to do an easy riverbank jog with first. So, say 6.30 on the track by the sandpit, I'll be the friendly face. Approx 2-3 miles on the riverbank before the session starts. This week was a 3,200m TT so that will be coming up again in about 6 weeks and is a good one to practice your 5k or 10k pace.

All levels welcome

Wont be able to make phoenix park session but this marley park session sounds perfect. Do you mind if I jump in aswell? Early morning running is the greatest thing ever:). Anyway let me know where you plan to meet.
Cheers

Amadeus I wouldn't have merged them myself as this is more a weekly regular slot calendar and peckham was doing a more specific one-off arrangement but that's okay.

Instructions: For anyone that wants to add in a session click quote on the latest version of this message, add in your county or regular session details (in the right day/time order) and remove the quote tags. So easy.

... as a follow on to what I just posted here, I've just put in a very basic table on the "demo" biki page so there is an approximate template of mrak's tables above for if we are going to try making use of the biki.

Sounds good - which would people prefer for this kind of thing - a wiki or update the post a-la- "best of 2009" thread. (Actually from just a quick look at the biki code it seems a fair bit more confusing to edit than this bbcode thingy so that might be a factor.)

The only thing about putting it in the Biki is it won't get much passing trade. An updated set of tables like the 09 thread would work well, IMO
