Summer Training 2009
For those hardy souls who have braved the wind and rain down at Bradford & Bingley during the Winter months, you will be delighted to hear that we will continue to have speed sessions over the summer. As usual we will meet at Bradford & Bingley at 7pm.
Rather than slugging round the field every week we do plan to mix things up with sessions on road, hills, woods in addition to the field. The sessions are open to everyone and will routinely consist of a 10-15 minute warm up, efforts of between 1 and 5 minutes in length followed by a 10-15 minute warm down, they usually last an hour.
I would say that if you bring a pair of trail shoes and road shoes you should be ok. However, I will try and update the Forum thread before each Tuesday session to let everyone know what we are doing so keep an idea on the Tuesday training thread. So if you haven't used the forum before get on there it's a good source of info.
Debbie Devine is also planning to continue her sessions so there should be plenty of choice.
See you on Tuesdays. Track and Field Squad 2009

Junior Fell Championship 2009
Sun bathing, ice cream cones and paddling in the river were the post race diversions for the small group of Harriers at the BOFRA Kettlewell race. The river was low but caused mayhem at the start and finish of some of the junior races. Ellie Child followed up her Kildwick debut with a strong run in the U12s and James Hall wiped out twice in the water but still managed a decent position. Good luck to Nicole who, running for her new fell club, was first girl. For spectacular photos from David Brett and full results check the BOFRA web site.
The next Bingley races are Widdop (a senior championship race) and Oldfield (a Bingley promotion) so let’s have a good turn-out. |
