Easter Berkeley Avenue Virtual 5k Relay

26/3/2021

 
​It’s been a while since the EA 5 Mile relays and it looks like it will be several weeks before much real competition, whether on track or road, will recommence.
 
So we are having a virtual 5k Easter road relay race, based around the popular flat and fast circuit of Berkeley Avenue in Chesham, just off Chartridge Lane.
 
Katie Royals has kindly created a google entry form . Please use this to enter and insert an approximate time for 5k.
 
Easter Berkeley Ave Virtual 5km Relay entry form
 
Closing date for entries is Friday 26th March.
 
Over that weekend I will divide up the entries into, hopefully, evenly matched teams of five (or other multiple depending on the number of entries) with the help of other coaches.
 
I will publish these so athletes can see who is in their teams and the window for tackling the run is Monday March 29th to Friday April 9th.
 
Please feel free to send me photos that I can add to the club website along with my report.
 
For those that haven’t run this route before I measured it on strava yesterday at 1650m, so 5k is three full laps plus a short extra finish of around 50 metres (dependent on running line etc).
 
https://www.strava.com/activities/4954959637
 
Athletes can start anywhere but typically on Berkeley Avenue close to the bottom junction with Chartridge Lane. Berkeley Avenue bends to the left and then is gently uphill straight up until a left turn joining back up with Chartridge Lane.
 
Athletes then follow the main road back to the bottom junction with Berkeley Avenue, turning left.
 
Pavements along the whole route are broad and in good condition so there shouldn’t be any need to run on the road itself.
 
Those with strava or other GPS facility, please use that to record your times. Others can use a coach, parent or friend to time them and email the time to me ([email protected])
 
Younger athletes should ensure at least one adult is there to supervise.
 
As government restrictions relax on March 29th, athletes could opt to run together but in very small groups only please.
 
Please let me know if you have any queries.

Senior Training Plan W/C 22/03/21

21/3/2021

 
Once we get confirmation tomorrow from the government this should be our last on-line training plan and we will soon be together!  Woo Hoo!

​As with all plans, this should be adapted to suit you best. No problem to switch sets and reps up or down. You are the only one who knows how you are feeling.

14/3/2021

 
This week's training is brought to you by Mike!

As the weather improves and the countdown to 29th March approaches, please do not get carried away. The old cliche "make haste slowly" is always relevant. I hope to see as many of you as possible at a club session in late March/early April.

Tuesday
Continuing the "hill work" theme from Trevor B last week, plan a 3-5 mile route, with several hills (not difficult in the Chilterns!), ideally with a flat 1/2 mile start & finish.
Work hard on the hills, concentrating on cutting stride length and rapid cadence.

Wednesday
Rest/Mobility/Core Strength Work

Thursday
Interval session - Select a flat road circuit of 600m-1200m. Aim to do reps totalling 3000m-3500m,with recovery time of 1/2 rep time.
"Consistency is the key".
Warm up & down is essential.

Friday
Rest

Saturday
Runfly 5km or a solo 3km time trial.

Sunday
LSD -Long Steady Distance. Explore new routes. No pressure on time/distance etc, just enjoy!

Mums and Dads on the Run

13/3/2021

 
I couldn't think of a better way to mark Mother's Day than to celebrate our lovely Chiltern Harriers family. So please enjoy a selection of our "Mums and Dads on the Run" (and - very occasionally - walk).

​Stay safe, healthy, happy and fit, Harriers,
