Week Starting 22nd June

Another fantastic week for TRX Wolves. Both first-claim and second-claim athletes were out racing.

Tom Pryor ran a really strong 800m at Birmingham University, with Dylan Illidge continuing to make excellent progress over the two laps. Julia Condon smashed her first marathon at the Walcot Wonder, a tough event made up of four-mile laps. Ian Mansell raced again midweek and took 4th overall and 1st M40 at the Blakedown Bolt 10k.

As I write this from the beach in Corfu (lol), it's kind of making me chuckle that it's going to be warmer in Wolverhampton this week! With that in mind, we're going to make a few adjustments to hopefully help you get out and complete some quality sessions. The key to running in the heat is to hydrate well in the 12 hours beforehand and slow the efforts down a little. No heroes!

Tuesday

Warmed up and ready to go for 6.50pm on the Old Railway Track.

Park at The Oddfellows. There's a small path that leads to the track on the same side of the road as the pub. At the end of the path you'll see an information sign [by bridge] approximately 8ft tall. That's the starting point for the efforts.









Session:

3 x 1 mile off 75 seconds recovery. click me for map

Run from the sign to the Meccano Bridge and back.

After that:

8 x 15-second strides.

Saturday

Warmed up and ready to go for 9.30am at Sabrina Road.

Session:

5 minutes tempo followed by 10 x 300m with a jog-back recovery to the start.

Fast please, hence the longer recovery.

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...

Race round ups: Vic Musgrove Alex Kelly led the TRX Wolves home in a great time of 16:37. He is recovering well from the MCR Marathon and is now back on his 5k programme. An outstanding run by Oliver Jones saw him smash through to the 16-minute 5k group. Joseph Marples also ran a storming race, lowering his 5k PB considerably with a new best of 17:14. Brilliant runs by all our TRX Wolves members throughout the field. Rob Cartwright, Richard Breakwell, Rob Tavenor, Stuart Whitehouse, Danni Braine, Hannah Corns and Ellie Kelly all ran very strong races. It was also great to see some of our second claim members doing so well. James Neilson ran a superb 15:32 to finish 3rd, Dylan ran a straight 17:00 for 23rd, and Beth Tabor finished 4th in a brilliant time of 18:08.
