GG Race Team- Met League Hill Training Session! - November

Goodgym Cross Country is back! We will be returning to the Met League in 2023 and 2024!

If you have never tried cross country, it is amazing muddy fun. A definite challenge, but accessible to all who want to give it a go, and are part of a UKA affiliated team (like the Goodgym Race Team).

To coincide with the events, Area Activator Simon Fitzmaurice (who is a UK Athletics Coach in Running Fitness or CiRF for short) will be hosting a series of hill interval training sessions at Primrose Hill over the Autumn and Winter months.

Meet at:

The Pembroke Castle, 150 Gloucester Ave., London NW1 8JA

And we will run to Primrose Hill together to start our session.

Kenyan Hills

The workout will be "Kenyan Hills"- an established hill loop that utilises uphills and downhills. We will arrange a timed interval duration and allocated rest and recovery repeats on the evening.

Timed intervals are accessible for all! Duration or pace is not the defining objective for these workouts- only endurance!

Our warm up, session and cool down will be no more than 60 minutes in total duration.

What do I need?

• Trail shoes or hardy road shoes are recommended. We plan to run on grass where possible.

• Maybe a head torch in the Winter months. There will be street lights, but these won't illuminate the whole course.

• Something warm or possibly waterproof for afterwards. AA Simon will be holding the stopwatch and can be a bag drop. So bring layers (but take care of valuables if possible).

Any questions, ask in the comments below!
