Time to move up a group
This is mainly going out to the runners in G2 (not only though), but if you are constantly at the front and are looping back, it would be a good idea for you to move up, this helps to even things out a between the groups. Come on runners in G2, let be having ya!

Re: Time to move up a group
Alex
What speed do you guys run at on a Wednesday evening? With the marathon group about to dissolve I could do with a couple of weeks running at a bit faster than threshold pace (before my marathon) - say 7.15 - 7.30 minute miles for 5 or 6 miles. If you guys run faster than that I am likely to just get injured trying to keep up!

Re: Time to move up a group
We generally run at around 7.00 to start but it usually rapidly descends into mayhem/low 6 to into the 5s. That said we always loop and we will always make sure that you are not left behind. A lot of the increase in speed has come from doing track work on a Monday night where we do mile reps at a speed much faster than our usual race pace. It makes a huge difference.Come and join us!

Re: Time to move up a group
Just an opinion about Mondays but a full days recovery after the club run on Sunday would be prudent. Especially given that is the long run of the week. Either Saturday would make a better long run day or the faster circuit run on Friday.
Does anyone have a view on this?

 Re: Time to move up a group
Personally speaking, I think that a track session is actually quite good for the legs after a long run the day before. The longer training runs are usually done at steady pace which is maintained throughout, I’ve found that a good way to shift the lactate is to push a little harder on the track. You don’t have to run balls, though to get the best from it you should be pushing on yourself.
This is just my personal opinion and isn’t based on any physiological studies, but it took me through my marathon training.
