Week Starting 24th

-

Great week of work, people.

Tuesday’s 1200s on grass will have added to your already strong endurance and complemented the speed work you’ve done recently really well. With the relays coming up, the coaching team and our Road Captain, Alex Kelly, will be exploring the idea of going over to Sutton Park on a Saturday to do a session, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Races

Big well done to Adam Rickhuss, who smashed through the 18-minute barrier for 5k this week at the Fast and Furious Series. Amazing to see his progression and well deserved, as Adam always puts in the work.

Hannah Corns repped the vest internationally this week and was First Lady back at Germany’s Rheinpark parkrun.

John Bateson PB’d at parkrun to bring his time down to a fraction over 18 minutes now.

Tom Pryor repped us on the track at the Rugby Summer Open, winning the 800m.

Old Hill Challenge



The Old Hill Challenge is heating up, with Steve Newman leading the way in a devastating 37 seconds. Who’s going to have a go at that?

Mal Purchase is currently in second place with another quick time of 69 seconds. Cannot see anyone in his age group beating that!

Legendary runner Dave Rowley is also on the leaderboard with a 78-second effort. There are surely no 70-year-olds out there who can catch him. We’re also looking at a possible 73 for Dave that seems not to have registered!

Don’t forget to register and pay too: CLICK ME TO ENTER

TRX Wedding



Holly and James tied the knot yesterday and made it the first TRX Wolves wedding! NDAs have been signed and no photographs are allowed, sadly!

TRX wishes you both a very happy honeymoon, and when you’re sick of one another you can come to training x

Two ways to help the club

If you have some time on 16th September at 7pm, there are two ways you can help the club:

Sign up and race the Tettenhall 5k: CLICK ME TO ENTER
or
Sign up to help marshal the race: CLICK ME TO VOLUNTEER

Either way, you’ll be supporting the club and helping us make the event a success. Thank you!


This Week’s Training

Tuesday – warmed up and ready to go, 6.50pm, Regis School

Or meet Adam Guy at Regis School at 6.30pm and he’ll run you around kilometres 2–5 of the Tettenhall 5k as your warm-up. We’re using the first kilometre of the course as the effort for the session:

8 x 800m off 90 secs recovery
Reps 1 and 8: tempo
Reps 2–7: threshold

Racing Mid Cheshire 5k on Friday? Come along on Tuesday but just do 3 x 1km at tempo pace and 3 x 1 mins off 1 min. Keep it controlled and make sure you’re fresh and ready to race on Friday.

Saturday – warmed up and ready to go, 9.30am, Aldersley Stadium

4 mins tempo

12–16 x 400m off 75 secs recovery, depending on fitness, training load, etc.

 TRX WOLVES AC – WEEKLY ROUND-UP & TRAINING What a week and what a weekend! Great efforts in all our training sessions across the week. Then the Midland Cross Country Relays came around! Three complete teams took part, making history and establishing TRX Wolves AC in our first championship cross country event. Ben Foster captained the men's squad, with Paul Tabor managing the teams. The day kicked off with a visit from a past master! Tony Milovsorov came along to catch up on the progress of the club. A former GB international, 2:10 marathoner and top-10 finisher at the London Marathon in the 1980s. It was brilliant to see him and have him take an interest in what we're building at TRX. It was a lovely sunny day and a fast, technical course consisting of two laps. A couple of lumps rather than hills, four switchbacks and plenty of uneven grass underfoot made it great fun! Our tent and kit certainly stood out amongst the more traditional club attire, with a number of other cl...

Bit of a long one this week… Club news: Tettenhall 5k - marshals needed please. As we slide into September, a quick shout-out to everyone who has already either entered the Tettenhall 5K or put their name forward to marshal. Thank you, people. Your support is hugely appreciated.  If you can spare an hour or two on Wednesday 16th September, with the race starting at 7pm, please do sign up to help. It’s an open-road race, so we need plenty of marshals out on the course to help us stage a safe and successful event. Please if you can sign up here: CLICK ME Relays & Vests Our team managers and captains have been working really hard to select and enter teams for the upcoming relays. Anyone who ordered a vest after our recent cut-off date of 8th August will NOT have their vest in time. If you’ve paid for a vest since then, you’re now on the waiting list and, once we reach the minimum order of 10, we’ll get the next batch ordered. But fear not, you can still compete! For the upcoming e...
