I arrived at the Reserve at 4:30pm and ran 3x900m laps of the car park area, first lap with Teagan, 2nd by myself and third with Bailey. Before chatting with the kids and then we moved on as a group and did another lap before some dynamic stretching.
Then we moved into the park area and then ran from the 'tree' and then running at a solid pace we ran to the Shaws Rd bridge (850m), before shuffling 100m and then crossing the river before we did 5 hill repeats with a shuffle at the top on a path, back down and then off again for the next rep. Then a slow jog along the path along the top of the river before I found a set of stairs which the kids went up & down a few times.
A few more efforts along the way back, according to Jo's Garmin 5.2km, then I took two of the kids for a long cool down (1.8km), these are the 2 faster consistent kids who I am just putting a little bit more into their legs. Only 3 weeks before the State XC Champs, so another 10 days or so of hard work before starting to reduce and sharpen.
A good night of coaching & running, whilst they are young, they do move along quite quickly, young kids go fast and then very slow, but most of them are enjoying the sessions, well generally.... :)
