“Tiptree is a growing running club that played a big part in Pete’s life. He joined the club around 10 years ago, having previously been a member of Blackwater Harriers based in Maldon. We have both known Pete for a number of years and had the pleasure of his company on Tuesday evenings and at various weekend and midweek runs. Running was a real passion for Pete, it was embedded in his life, supported by Barbara.

We would see Pete competing at R.I.P. Pete - you will be sorely missed.” -4- COACHES CORNER Three key sessions By Matt Davey WE all run for different reasons, and funnily enough even though many of us run races, very few experience actually being first across the finish line. Ultimately our running ability is governed by our DNA, and it doesn’t matter how much you train - you are not going to beat Mo! Instead we can set personal targets, which can be to run a specific time, complete a race, set a PB or CR or even just get fit and enjoy it. It's also great to have the age-group categories, and as a club we have some excellent age-group runners, whether that is in winning medals at local races, or setting TRR club records. For me the important thing is to make the most of my very limited abilities. I'm never going to win races, but I just want to set some PBs. That said, I do have a secret: I don't really talk about it, but I once beat Paul M, Paul D and Andy to win the ‘Mile Down - Mile Up’ club challenge. My one moment of glory! The key to achieving your targets is of course good training. Although you do need to be running regularly, it’s not all about quantity, for quality is very important. This is where the coached sessions are so good. When running on your own it’s easy to just plod along, we've all done it, but structured sessions mean you get a better quality of training. The following are my three favourite training sessions. It was hard to decide on just three, but I think they are the ones that have really helped me improve over the years: Simply run ten efforts of 800m with 400m jogging recovery between each effort. Across the ten efforts your average time in minutes and seconds should predict your Progressive Tempo potential marathon time. For example an average of 4 mins 15 This session is a tempo run (done at a constant, sec across the efforts should mean you are physically capable challenging pace) with a twist! The standard version is of running a marathon in 4 hours 15 minutes. run over six miles divided into three sections of two It's a really tough session: ideally you would build up miles. Each two-mile section is run faster than the to it across a number of months, starting with six efforts, then previous one, hence the name - it gets progressively faster eight efforts before moving on to the full ten. (and harder!). For example you might run the first two Obviously you will only achieve the predicted time if miles at 8:00 minute-miling (MM), the middle two at you have also done a good number of long runs, tempo runs 7:45 MM and the final two at 7:30 MM. etc, etc and you’ve stayed injury free . . . . The idea is to build strength and endurance for races. The final set is very tough, just like the last part of a race would be. Diminishing Recoveries We have done a longer version of this session in My third choice is one where the efforts stay the 5k blocks, but with a warm-up and cool-down on top it's same, but the recovery time reduces, and it is the shorter well over 10 miles, so a bit long for a Tuesday night, recovery that makes each effort harder. which is a shame as it is a great session. We typically run this session with ten efforts of 2:15, and then the first recovery would be two minutes, reducing by Yasso 800s 10 seconds each time. Named after the American marathon coach Bart The key to this session is to try and run each effort at Yasso, who popularised it, this one is great for those of the same pace, no slowing down! That way by the final effort you training for a marathon. it is really hard work. -5- COACHES CORNER ... 2 We’re moving on up

TRYING to get the balance of abilities right within each Tuesday training group can be a tricky thing. If there is too wide a range of abilities then those at the back suffer because they feel they are being left behind, while those at the front feel they are not being pushed. The key to this is moving between groups. If you are just coming back from a few weeks off it can help to drop down a group, and if you are running well and in good form why not just hop up a group? But it seems people are sometimes reluctant to do this. If you talk to people from other clubs, they will tell you the same thing - it’s a natural reaction to stick with what you know. But there are some really good reasons to do it - (1) You are good enough! Your coach wouldn't suggest it unless she/he thought you could do it. (2) The difference in abilities between the front of one group and the back of the next is not as great as you might think. Certainly for some groups the front runners are actually running faster than the tail runners of the group above! (3) You might meet some wonderful new people! We have some great people in the Fifth Group (we also have Gavin - can't win 'em all!). (4) Finally, you might improve more than you would believe was possible. Since Pete Banks moved up, his times have tumbled. We can't help him with his lack of hair, but we have certainly helped his running! So next time someone suggests a move up, go on, give it a go - you might like it! * Matt helpfully tells the photographer that he by MATT DAVEY and Gavin are running FIVE kilometres!

* Winter’s over and this trio have a ‘spring’ in their step! L-R: AARON GRAVES - fourth at the Bungay Marathon, PAUL MINGAY - fastest UK 10k time for his age, and EDWARD SKINNER, our sole rep at the National XC champs.

All within a spell of 40 days or so. Runners in other parts of the world must be so jealous of the variety we enjoy here at TRR! The arrival of the month of May meant the chance to enjoy one of our favourite midweek training sessions at this time of year - the bluebell runs in the woods! Tina’s picture shows her Thursday group taking full advantage of the lighter evenings and that long-awaited improvement in the weather.

* The club has agreed to host another Parkrun at Mersea, on a Saturday morning to be agreed in August. Listen out for more details shortly. Tina Runners of the Month will be looking for volunteers for a number of jobs that morning. August 2017: * This Newsletter is nowadays available to read (in full colour!) on the Paul Mingay & Danielle Harrington club’s website. Click on the ‘Gallery and News’ button on the Home page September 2017: of the site where recent editions can be found. Gavin Laws & Morven Hurding * Latest head-count at TRR had us at 102 paid-up and Life members at October 2017: the beginning of May 2018. The healthy situation of 100-plus members Chris Harding & Anita Leaver has now been maintained for a number of months. November 2017: * Next season’s 53-12 Cross-Country League could feature a number of Danielle Harrington & Iain Rhodes changes in format. Various proposals are to be considered at the League’s December 2017: AGM on June 21, including the following: (1) To restructure the junior race John McVelia & Lorraine Baker so that the top three youngsters from each club score for their club, as January 2018: opposed to running as individuals; (2) All host clubs to be asked to ensure Aaron Graves & Alison Vincent the courses are 8km in length – this follows Hadleigh’s race earlier this February 2018: year amounting to around 9km; (3) The same number of points to be Pete Banks & Danielle Harrington awarded (instead of using ‘countback’) when teams finish level on points March 2018: after men’s and women’s points are combined; (4) The need to announce Craig Dawson & Zoe Jackson results immediately after races may be amended, thus allowing organisers April 2018: to iron out any problems before issuing results publicly later the same day.
