SUMMARY:Rock n Road Runners - Thursday Coached Run Intervals
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to RNRR Coached Run Intervals!.  \nLOCATION: THE FREEDOM TREE\, ST HELIER\, 6PM  \n(The Radisson Hotel are happy for you to stay warm/use the loo inside the hotel if you are early.) \nThis is a 60 minute fully coached session suitable for runners of all abilities\, focused on building strength\, stamina\, power and speed through interval-based training. Basically\, they can help you improve your running regardless of your current abllity. \nThe session is lead by our professional run coaches Dan or Rik and the 60 minutes includes a thorough warm up consisting of easy running\, mobilisation work\, dynamic stretching\, drills and strides. The warm up also focuses on improving various aspects of your run technique\, biomechanics and efficiency. Not only will interval training improve your performance at all distances but it’s a really fun and social way to train. Anyone and everyone can benefit from interval-training regardless of experience level or goals and the coaches are always on hand to answer any questions. \nThe main set is usually interval-based\, meaning that there is some faster-paced running for a set time or distance\, interspersed with recovery which is either easy jogging\, walking or standing. The aim of each interval session is specifically planned to improve a certain aspect of your physiology\, such as your pace at Lactate Threshold\, Vo2 Max or increase your Running Economy and Neuromuscular Efficiency. (Don’t worry if you don’t know what any of that means\, the coaches will explain what you need to do) \nThese sessions are also individualised for each attendee to cater for all abilities. We occassionally carry out 3k and 5k ‘time trials’ (or use a recent race result) to ascertain your specific pace zones for different running intensities. This allows you to run at the right effort for your ability and avoid overexerting and overtraining. If anything is ever unclear you can just ask the coach. \nYour first session is FREE and all subsequent sessions are £5\, unless you are a member of the Rock n Road Runners run club in which case they are always free. If you would like more information or are keen to join the club click here or email info@rocknroadrunners.je. First time? No need to book – just turn up and introduce yourself to coach Dan or Rik (they wear pink “coach” high viz tops) \n\nTHIS WEEKS SESSION: \nWarm Up:\n– 3-5 mins easy jogging\n– 10-15 mins dynamic stretching & mobilisation \nMain Set: (35 mins): Mixed modality intervals \n3 sets\n3 min @ TEMPO (about a 6/10 effort\, approx 10k to 10 mile pace\, comfortably hard but hardly comfortable)\n90 sec jog / walk recovery.\n2 min @ VO2 (about a 7/10 effort\, approx 3-5k pace\, breathing becoming hard and laboured\n2 min jog / walk recovery\n1 min @ SPEED FORM (about an 8/10 effort\, hard and uncomfortable\, but trying to stay relaxed and controlled)\n3 min jog / walk recovery\nrepeat \nWork to rest ratios changes as we go through each set to allow sufficient recovery to tackle the next work element with intent – there should be defined change in pace\, intensity and overall effort with each work interval. Pace increases by approx 10-20sec/k for each change.\nUse the pace guidelines we gave you after your recent Cooper Test – if you weren’t there\, we can use a recent race result to help you – just speak to Dan prior to starting the session. \nCool down: 3-5 easy cooldown in your own time \n\n*Please note: Both club members and guests attending these group runs acknowledge and accept that playing or participating in sport of any kind can be dangerous and may result in injury and damage to property. Members and guests shall take personal responsibility for their own actions and play or participate in the Club’s sporting activities at their own risk* \n\n

No need to book – just turn up and introduce yourself to coach Dan or Rik (they wear pink “coach” high viz tops) \n\nTHIS WEEKS SESSION: \n  \nWarm Up:-\n3-5 mins easy jogging\nDynamic stretching & mobilisation \nMain Set:- The Cooper run test:  \nThe Cooper Test is a common assessment of aerobic fitness. It involves running as far as possible in 12 minutes. The distance covered is then used to estimate your VO2Max (the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise – a key indicator of your aerobic fitness level)\, as well as determining your run training paces. The latter is crucial for several reasons:\n* Injury Prevention: Running too fast\, especially when starting out\, can lead to overuse injuries. Pacing helps you train within your limits and avoid pushing too hard too soon.\n* Training Effectiveness: Different paces serve different training purposes. Easy paces build endurance\, tempo runs (approximately 10k to 10 mile pace) improve your lactate threshold\, and interval training at your VO2 and Speed Form paces (approximately 5k pace and best mile pace respectively) boosts speed. Knowing your paces allows you to run at the right intensity during your workouts to bring about the intended stimulus get the correct adaptation.\n* Mental Focus: Focusing on maintaining a specific pace can help you stay mentally engaged during your runs and avoid distractions.\n* Progress Tracking: Monitoring your paces using the Cooper run test over time allows you to track your progress and see how your fitness is improving. \nGUIDANCE NOTES –\n* Make sure you have your auto lap setting turned off on your watch.\n* Treat this like a race – don’t go off too hard\, make sure you leave a bit in reserve so that you empty the tank in the last two minutes. Try and pace it as evenly as possible.\n* Go by feel – try not to rely on your watch for pacing. Try and start off about a 6/10 effort\, steadily building into a 7-8/10 effort by the first three minutes. Most of the test should be spent around your second ventilatory threshold\, the point where your breathing becomes out of control and very laboured\, and heart rate is very high\, deep discomfort\, about an 8-9/10\n* Once complete\, take a note of your distance – your coaches will give you your training paces and an estimate of your VO2Max based off this distance \nFor anyone on a generic plan who has been given the option of a 3k benchmark or 30 min threshold test to do instead\, they are welcome to join in the warmup\, and then do their own benchmark unsupervised. \nCool-Down: (5 minutes) \nJog: 5 minutes of easy running to let the body recover – In your own time after the session. \n  \n\n*Please note: Both club members and guests attending these group runs acknowledge and accept that playing or participating in sport of any kind can be dangerous and may result in injury and damage to property. Members and guests shall take personal responsibility for their own actions and play or participate in the Club’s sporting activities at their own risk* \n\n

Basically\, they can help you improve your running regardless of your current abllity.. \nThe session is lead by our run coaches Dan or Rik and the 60 minutes includes a thorough warm up consisting of easy running\, mobilisation work\, dynamic stretching\, drills and strides. The warm up also focuses on improving various aspects of your run technique\, biomechanics and efficiency. Not only will interval training improve your performance at all distances but it’s a really fun and social way to train. Anyone and everyone can benefit from interval-training regardless of experience level or goals and the coaches are always on hand to answer any questions. \nThe main set is usually interval-based\, meaning that there is some faster-paced running for a set time or distance\, interspersed with recovery which is either easy jogging\, walking or standing. The aim of each interval session is to improve a certain aspect of our physiology\, such as our pace at Lactate Threshold\, Vo2 Max or increase our Running Economy and Neuromuscular Efficiency. (Don’t worry if you don’t know what all that means\, the coaches will explain what you need to do!) \nThese sessions are also individualised for each attendee. We occassionally carry out 3k and 5k ‘time trials’ (or use a recent race result) to ascertain pace zones for different running intensities. This allows you to run at the right effort for your ability and avoid overexerting and overtraining. If anything is ever unclear you can just ask the coach. \nYour first session is FREE and all subsequent sessions are £5\, unless you are a member of the Rock n Road Runners run club in which case they are always free. If you would like more information or are keen to join the club click here or email info@rocknroadrunners.je. First time? No need to book – just turn up and introduce yourself to coach Dan or Rik (they wear pink “coach” high viz tops) \n\nTHIS WEEKS SESSION: \n\nWarm Up:\n3-5 mins easy jogging\n15-18 mins dynamic stretching & mobilisation \nMain Set: \nOption A\nFor those looking to continue the race specific block and not running the half-marathon this weekend:\nAs many reps as you can fit into 30-40mins of:\n800m just above race pace (run out on bottom of pier)\n800m just below race pace (run back along top of pier)\n*if your goal race is shorter than half marathon\, reduce the pace of the recoveries to allow for adequate lactate clearance \nOption B\nFor those racing the marathon this weekend\n10-12 x\n200m @ VO2 (run from the tree to the steps at Horizon and back)\n90 sec static rest\n*These are short snappy efforts at about 75% effort for that distance – we want to keep a fast leg turnover without much fatigue – stay relaxed and focussed on perfect form \nBoth these efforts are to distance and not time to allow them to run concurrently without the need for a whistle to be blown \nCool-Down: (5 minutes) \nJog: 5 minutes of easy running to let the body recover – In your own time after the session. \n  \n\n*Please note: Both club members and guests attending these group runs acknowledge and accept that playing or participating in sport of any kind can be dangerous and may result in injury and damage to property.

Complete as many 1k reps as you can fit into 30-35 minutes. Take 60-90 seconds of static rest between each interval. This can be done as an out-and-back along the bottom of the pier starting at the the eastern end of the Radisson by the granite steps and running to the end and back\, and resting by the steps. \nTips:\n– Pace yourself: We want to maintain consistency across all reps\, so now what pace you should be targetting and holding your /k pace\, so that you aim for the same target time for each rep\, give or take 3-5 secs.\n– Work as a group – we did this last week and it works well – find someone who is a similar pace as you and work together as a crew to promote accountability and consistency.\n– Use “Lap Pace” instead of instantaneous pace on your watch face – this calculates and average so that you can gauge the pace. Even better\, try and run this without looking at your watch\, and go by feel/effort instead – “comfortably hard\, but hardly comfortable” \nCool-Down (5 minutes)\nJog: 5 minutes of easy running to let the body recover – In your own time after the session. \n  \n\n*Please note: Both club members and guests attending these group runs acknowledge and accept that playing or participating in sport of any kind can be dangerous and may result in injury and damage to property.

SUMMARY:Rock n Road Runners - Thursday Intervals
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to RNRR Intervals!.  \nLOCATION: THE FREEDOM TREE\, ST HELIER\, 6PM  \n(The Radisson are happy for you to stay warm/use the loo inside the hotel if you’d like to. NB: The hotel exit nearest the Freedom Tree is currently out of action so you’ll need to go the long way around) \nThis is a 60 minute fully coached session suitable for runners of all abilities\, focused on building strength\, stamina\, power and speed through interval-based training. Basically\, they can help you improve your running regardless of your current abllity.. \nThe session is lead by our run coaches Dan or Rik and the 60 minutes includes a thorough warm up consisting of easy running\, mobilisation work\, dynamic stretching\, drills and strides. The warm up also focuses on improving various aspects of your run technique\, biomechanics and efficiency. Not only will interval training improve your performance at all distances but it’s a really fun and social way to train. Anyone and everyone can benefit from interval-training regardless of experience level or goals and the coaches are always on hand to answer any questions. \nThe main set is usually interval-based\, meaning that there is some faster-paced running for a set time or distance\, interspersed with recovery which is either easy jogging\, walking or standing. The aim of each interval session is to improve a certain aspect of our physiology\, such as our pace at Lactate Threshold\, Vo2 Max or increase our Running Economy and Neuromuscular Efficiency. (Don’t worry if you don’t know what all that means\, the coaches will explain what you need to do!) \nThese sessions are also individualised for each attendee. We occassionally carry out 3k and 5k ‘time trials’ (or use a recent race result) to ascertain pace zones for different running intensities. This allows you to run at the right effort for your ability and avoid overexerting and overtraining. If anything is ever unclear you can just ask the coach. \nYour first session is FREE and all subsequent sessions are £5\, unless you are a member of the Rock n Road Runners run club in which case they are always free.

Think 10-16k pace or an intensity you could hold for about an hour. The 60s recoveries should be sufficient if you’ve paced these intervals correctly. \nHint: if you’re clock watching\, you’re probably running too fast. These should feel sustainable. Max 40 mins of work total. \n  \n\n*Please note: Both club members and guests attending these group runs acknowledge and accept that playing or participating in sport of any kind can be dangerous and may result in injury and damage to property.

Anyone and everyone can benefit from interval-training regardless of experience level or goals and the coaches are always on hand to answer any questions. \nThe main set is usually interval-based\, meaning that there is some faster-paced running for a set time or distance\, interspersed with recovery which is either easy jogging\, walking or standing. The aim of each interval session is to improve a certain aspect of our physiology\, such as our pace at Lactate Threshold\, Vo2 Max or increase our Running Economy and Neuromuscular Efficiency. (Don’t worry if you don’t know what all that means\, the coaches will explain what you need to do!) \nThese sessions are also individualised for each attendee. We occassionally carry out 3k and 5k ‘time trials’ (or use a recent race result) to ascertain pace zones for different running intensities. This allows you to run at the right effort for your ability and avoid overexerting and overtraining. If anything is ever unclear you can just ask the coach. \nYour first session is FREE and all subsequent sessions are £5\, unless you are a member of the Rock n Road Runners run club in which case they are always free. If you would like more information or are keen to join the club click here or email info@rocknroadrunners.je. First time? No need to book – just turn up and introduce yourself to coach Dan or Rik (they wear pink “coach” high viz tops) \n\nTHIS WEEKS SESSION  \nWarm up:-\n3-5 mins easy jogging\n15-20 mins mobility & drills \nMain set: The Cooper run test (very beneficial for runners of all abilities) \nThe Cooper Run Test is a common assessment of aerobic fitness. It involves running as far as possible in 12 minutes. The distance covered is then used to estimate your VO2Max (the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise – a key indicator of your aerobic fitness level)\, as well as determining your run training paces. The latter is crucial for several reasons:\n* Injury Prevention: Running too fast\, especially when starting out\, can lead to overuse injuries. Pacing helps you train within your limits and avoid pushing too hard too soon.\n* Training Effectiveness: Different paces serve different training purposes. Easy paces build endurance\, tempo runs (approximately 10k to 10 mile pace) improve your lactate threshold\, and interval training at your VO2 and Speed Form paces (approximately 5k pace and best mile pace respectively) boosts speed. Knowing your paces allows you to run at the right intensity during your workouts to bring about the intended stimulus get the correct adaptation.\n* Mental Focus: Focusing on maintaining a specific pace can help you stay mentally engaged during your runs and avoid distractions.\n* Progress Tracking: Monitoring your paces using the Cooper run test over time allows you to track your progress and see how your fitness is improving. \nGUIDANCE NOTES –\n* Make sure you have your auto lap setting turned off on your watch.\n* Treat this like a race – don’t go off too hard\, make sure you leave a bit in reserve so that you empty the tank in the last two minutes. Try and pace it as evenly as possible.\n* Go by feel – try not to rely on your watch for pacing. Try and start off about a 6/10 effort\, steadily building into a 7-8/10 effort by the first three minutes. Most of the test should be spent around your second ventilatory threshold\, the point where your breathing becomes out of control and very laboured\, and heart rate is very high\, deep discomfort\, about an 8-9/10\n* Once complete\, take a note of your distance – your coaches will give you your training paces and an estimate of your VO2Max based off this distance \nCool Down: Stretches and easy jogging in your own time. \n\n*Please note: Both club members and guests attending these group runs acknowledge and accept that playing or participating in sport of any kind can be dangerous and may result in injury and damage to property. Members and guests shall take personal responsibility for their own actions and play or participate in the Club’s sporting activities at their own risk* \n\n

If you are doing the whole thing\, use your target marathon pace\, for anyone doing either 2-person or 5-person relay use your half marathon pace as your target race pace \nProgressive runs teach you how to feel your pace and increase it even when you’re tired. As you initially engage the slow twitch muscle fibres at the easier pace and then start to engage more of the fast twitch fibres as you speed up\, you will increase oxygen uptake in a greater percentage of your muscle fibres\, building aerobic power and fatigue resistance.  \nCool Down: Stretches and easy jogging in your own time. \n\n*Please note: Both club members and guests attending these group runs acknowledge and accept that playing or participating in sport of any kind can be dangerous and may result in injury and damage to property.
