Training and Racing 31st August - 6th September 2004
Tuesday 31st August - 6:30pm - Bramcote Leisure Centre
10M mainly off-road, start steady, finish quick.
Wednesday 1st September - 6pm - Tennis Centre
The Ken Allen-endorsed midweek longish run. I was thinking to stretch it out a bit his week. How about we do an out-and-back to Holme Pierrepont returning via Beeston Lock, or do the out and back with a loop of the lake? Either meet at the Tennis Centre @ 6pm or my place @ 5:50pm.
Thursday 2nd September - 6:30pm - Bramcote Park Intervals
Trevor's session - meet @ Bramcote Pk. Lake @ 6:30pm for 7pm session - likely 8 x 600m off 60-90 sec recovery.
Saturday 4th September - 10am - St. Leonards, Wollaton Park
Easy 1 hour session round the Park & Uni.
Gary and Simon will be doing the Ben Nevis Fell Race, back Wednesday.
Ben is not going to be there.
Sunday 5th September - 9am - Tennis Ctr., Univ. Blvd.
The long one, how about we head out along the canal / river towards Sawley, turn right at Trent Lock onto the Erewash canal and then go up there a really long way before coming back via the Nottingham Canal / Bramcote? Start steady, finish at 'Paul Archer-endorsed' suicidal pace!
