Jan 2022 Saturdays

-

Tuesday and Thursday sessions will be set as always by Abbo - see his Facebook Page.

My Saturday sessions are designed to compliment what we are doing in the week. Jan and Feb mainly concentrating on cross country and will therefore be off road [mainly]. 

In late Feb I will switch from this to concentrate more with speed / endurance [with a focus on road]. You may feel you don't need Thursdays session by then as mine will be a little more intense. But we'll leave that up to you to judge. Abbos 1-1 runners will probably carry on with the Thursday but mine will do something else [Something easier that gives them time to recover for Saturday]. At this point Abbos athletes will probably start to prepare for the track season. If you are looking for road racing prep then this is the time to maybe see me for more specific advice. But track work will be good for you too. When we switch to more intense training I will not prescribe 3 sessions a week. Especially for the older runners in the group. My weekly plans will centre around 2 quality days: Tuesday and Saturday. Anyway we can talk about that nearer the time. So plan some races for March /April / May and let Abbo and me know in advance so we can plan your training for them. WE EXPECT YOU ALL TO DO YOUR BEST IN TURNING OUT FOR LEAGUE RACES PLEASE! And plan your races around the road relays that start again in March. 

We start this Saturday at a new venue: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/4798582399

Well done all for another great week of training. Some tough sessions in the bag — and our first cross-country training session successfully completed too. A big shout-out to everyone who took part in the Wolves Coleman Mile this week as well. A fantastic debut from Joe Marples, and it was superb to see Lucy Calrow back on the track with the club. Young James Neilson ran an excellent race, holding off the likes of our own Alex Blair, who is getting quicker by the day. James won the overall men’s event in a brilliant time of 4:36.3, which isn’t far off the record. Other regular members of our group who put in great mile performances were Jay Patel, Paul Rogers, and the very speedy Paul Dean, who finished 3rd overall. And a personal shout-out to my favourite child — [only joking!] Serge — who took the win in his race. Also in that race was Megan White, who won the overall ladies’ category. A big shout-out to Jon Hart too, who finished 2nd in his age group and 10th overall in the England ...

Give us a follow on Instagram:  trx_renagade_running Hello everyone, Well done again on another great weekend of training – the improvements are really showing. It’s time to start thinking about upcoming races like Mid Cheshire, Ellerdine, and the relays. Even though I’ve left Wolves, I’d still encourage you to support your clubs and run a relay leg if you can. Before long, the Cross Country season will kick off at Wolves Stadium with the Midland Cross Country Relays. Think ahead now about which races you want to do in late summer and early winter. And of course, for the men – you’ve earned your right to go and smash the First Division in the Birmingham League. Get out there and show them what you can do! For those talking about marathon training – start increasing your weekly volume gradually, especially Wednesdays and Sundays. Don’t jump into high mileage too fast. And remember: not every session needs to be an all-out effort. For a marathon, focus on building a strong engine and...

 So this week a lot of you will be testing out your training. It’s the Phoenix Flyer 5K this Wednesday, where new member Hannah Corns makes her debut for TRX Wolves. Then it’s the Mid Cheshire 5K on Friday, which is usually streamed online, so keep an eye out for links. Good luck to everyone racing. This week’s racing news: Ian Mansell continues to race himself fit with a strong run at Knowle 10K, finishing 4th in 35:19. Tom Pryor paced his mate around the Chester Half. Jack Burns ran the Market Harborough Half. Danni Braine represented her second claim club across multiple events after completing the track session yesterday morning. During the week she also competed in the Midlands Masters Track and Field League in the 800m and 200m, set a PB in the javelin, and competed in the long jump – brilliant effort. Last week we missed Rob Cartwright off the results who also ran a very strong 38 mins at Market Drayton.  Our second claim athletes were also out competing for their clubs...
