Winter Distance Training
By the beginning of November we will publish our winter distance training schedules. There will be four different training schedules graduated on ability; schedule A being the quickest through to schedule D being the slowest. Within each schedule are details of the leader(s) of the group.
All training runs are available to all members of Bracknell Forest Runners whether or not they are taking part in any marathon or other distance race. Members of other clubs are welcome to join us for these training runs but would have to join Bracknell Forest Runners (BFR) as second claim members. Unattached runners can also apply for membership of BFR. BFR is affiliated to England Athletics and so our training runs are covered by EA’s insurance policy/ (ies).
You do not have to take part in every run within a group’s schedule. Also you may swap between groups whenever it suits your particular training needs.
The club encourages all members to take part in all 8 Thames Valley Cross Country (TVXC) races as part of the training schedule irrespective of your ability. The club pays the entry fees for these races for the club’s first and second claim members. NB wearing of club colours is a requirement at all TVXC races.
Please select training runs appropriate to your ability, if in doubt please ask; don’t wreck your chances by over training, especially in the early days.
Do ensure that you wear clothing suitable to the distance of the run and conditions; bring your own food, drinks, gells etc for consumption during and after each run. Remember early October 2011 was the hottest recorded in the UK but then it snowed heavily in the 2010/11 winter.
In addition to the events and training listed there is the usual club training on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
