Valley Striders Juniors Training (from home) Tuesday 12 May

29 junior Striders “came” to last week’s Tuesday training (from home) session. This was 6 up on our first session the previous week.

Tonight’s training (from home) session will be at the usual time, ideally between 6pm and 7pm but any time between 3pm and 8pm acceptable.

I do have a couple of awards to make before you go on your session. Can we have a big round of applause for Jamie and Toby Walker who both reached 100 sessions last Tuesday. Their medals are in the post!

For tonight’s training:

Either: warm up (jogging, skipping, striding), then a medium paced run for 10-15 minutes (younger runners) / 20-30 minutes older runners, then cool down stretches.

Or: warm up, a very steady run of 15-20 minutes (younger runners) / 30-40 minutes (older runners) interspersed with a few sprints and/or hill efforts, then cool down.

(Take a look at last week’s posts for other ideas!)

Reply to the post in the Juniors Facebook group (or email [email protected]) with a summary of your activity and you’ll be credited with one attendance towards your 25, 50 or 100 medal.

Next weekend I’ll announce if anyone achieved a medal and start another post for 19 May.

Keep running and stay safe!
