Interval training tomorrow morning at the track-23rd December

Tomorrow morning is week 3 of our first block of interval sessions and it’s a pyramid session where interval length decreases with each interval but the intensity increases until we reach the peak. We then go back down the pyramid where interval intensity decreases but the interval length increases. Meet at the track at 10.00am, all welcome!

NB. Remember to concentrate and ride safely, other people are allowed to use the track and the gates will not be locked. Coaches will be available tomorrow to assist with timings, but this is not a coached session.
