~~CVRR Tuesday Training Sessions for March 20th, 27th, April 3rd,10th,17th & 24th, 2018
Well done to all who competed in the Comox Valley Half Marathon this Sunday. Everyone ran very strong with solid performances. Your consistency and hard work is paying off! Also, noted thanks to the numerous hard-working volunteers that made this race event such a success!
We are now entering the spring phase of our training program. During this time some runners are focusing on upcoming marathons while others are aiming for the shorter high intensity 5km races. Again, if racing is not in your plans these workouts can help you develop your strength endurance, speed/efficiency as a runner. Becoming a more efficient runner can make your running more enjoyable and may reduce your chance of injury.
This spring phase over the next six weeks will continue to focus on maintaining our strength endurance and aerobic power while developing more speed and efficiency.
