Wyndham Park set for my junior group

Even though some times some of the older ones run here too, this session is primarily for the Little Aths squad, running around a park, lots of grass and dirt paths with loads of variations etc.

Once a month we have a TT, we have a course which the fastest run has been 2:59, I have never measured the track (probably should), they run it 3 times. The first lap is cruising together checking out that there are no surprises (fallen branches etc), then a 3 min break (drinks & minor clothing changes), the 2nd lap is flat out in a clockwise direction, then 5-6 min break, then the third lap is flat out in the opposite direction!

Today to spice it up I picked two Captains and they picked teams, this was my way of ensuring no matter how far back you are, you still go fast as your team mates are cheering you on!

Some good runs by the kids, no change to the fastest time of 2:59, but it was very pleasing to see how many were within 2 seconds of their first lap and one of the boys managed 3:01 & 3:00


For me, just 5 easy k's
