[Triumf-running] TRIUMF Running Group - Week of March 7, 2022 - SUN RUN REMINDER

[Dan Thomson]

Hi everyone!

Please remember to sign up for the Sun Run if you intend to participate!  The sign-up link is here: https://vancouversunrun.com/registration-form/?urlteamid=pu_l5obfTcapE2a1646157036305425650_team&urlcat=ShawTeamDivision_1617739593 . The last time I checked team registrations, they were fairly low (around 4 people) and we need a minimum of 8 to make a team. We only have 10 days left to get team registrations in, so please make sure you've registered before then!

Here are your workouts for the week:

Tuesday Mar 10, 2020 - Long intervals
Meet at 12:00 outside the Badge Room

   *   Jog to the west end of Imperial trail
   *   dynamic stretching
   *   Run 2 min then 4 x 5 min at 10K pace with 1 minute jogs between each one.
   *   easy jog back to TRIUMF
   *   static stretching

Thursday Mar 12, 2020 -  Progression Run
Meet at 12:00 outside the Badge Room

   *   Easy run for 10 minutes.
   *   Increase your effort a bit every 5 minutes.
   *   At the halfway time, 22.5 minutes, reverse direction and head back the same way.
   *   Continue to increase effort.
   *   Regroup after 35 minutes total and jog back to TRIUMF.
   *   Static stretching for everyone.

Weekend runs - The long run with faster sections.

This week's long run should be 80 to 90 minutes long with 5 x 2 minutes at a harder effort near the end of the run. It's a good idea to take along something for hydration and energy.

Alternate run days or cross training

If you want to run more than 3 days a week, do treat the extra runs as recovery runs. You should be able to converse easily during these.
Consider doing strength training. There are many routines designed for runners. Cycling, hiking, swimming, yoga, are great cross training activities. Basically, keep as active as possible without hurting yourself.
Please feel free to pass this message along to others at TRIUMF.
