WFC Runners - Thursday 18th - High Street Sprints

This week saw the runners meet at Abbey Gardens.  Coach James was unfortunately unable to make it so Head Honcho Mike kindly stepped in to lead the session.  

17 wonderful fit clubbers joined Mike for the session including 3 new faces!  Welcome to the group Andy, Jenna and Tom

After the warm-up the group jogged the short distance to the start of the pedestrianised area at the bottom of the High Street (by the first concrete traffic control bollard).  This was the start point for the session. 

The main session was as follows:

  • Sprint from the start to the corner by Pret
  • Jog recovery back to the start
  • Sprint from the start to the to Buttercross
  • Jog recovery back to the start
  • Short break of 1 minute from the last person to retun.

Coach James had asked for this to be repeated 4 times, but Mike is all about giving so upped it to 5.  What lucky runners you are!!    Each set was 0.58 miles long so total distance was around 2.9 miles.  

After a short break the group jogged back to Abbey Gardens where Mike led the cool down. 

Simon H has kindly made the group cakes and these were gratefully scoffed as a post-run snack.  Thank you Simon!

Huge thank you to Mike for leading the session and well done runners!!
