SUMMER TRAINING

This re-commenced early April 2010 - Tuesdays 6.30pm at Peebles High School. We may move to Whitstone Park/Kerfield during the summer depending on grass length/rabbit holes. Watch this space.

For people who have not trained with Moorfoot Juniors before:

A typical sprints training night in summer would be a good warm up which would include a jog, some streches and strides then we would do some cadence exercises to get our legs moving faster. After this we do 4 or 5 flat out sprints over 40 metres followed by some practice starts and we would finish the session with a handicapped sprint. If sprinting is not for you then you can choose middle distance.
A typical night at this would be the same sort of warm up (jogging streches and strides) then some longer runs which will get us puffing. Something like a 3 lap run then a rest then a 2 lap run and a rest then some 1 lap runs to finish. (Written by Faye Nicholson several years ago. Sadly training has got harder for some of us since then!)

WINTER TRAINING

Gregor's winter cross-country training is usually on Sundays at 10.30am at Peebles High School and we will probably continue with the Tuesday night run round the Victoria Park/Springhill Road loop. There will be no training when there are Borders cross-country races on (see fixtures). Try to get at least another two runs in per week eg the Tuesday night run, the PHS Friday group or round the 3 Bridges route (if it is light enough). Try to avoid running on consecutive days and if you are busy with other physical activities like football or swimming, try to have one day/week as a rest day.
