SUMMER TRAINING
This has started and is now based at the Gytes (or Tweed Green if the Gytes is flooded.)
Meet at the Gytes at 6.30pm on Tuesdays evenings and Sundays at 10.30am.
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 4 lap run then a rest then a 3 lap run and a rest then a 2 lapper and a rest followed by 1 fast lap to finish. (Written by Faye Nicholson 1 year ago. Sadly training has got harder since then.)
