Hi all,
We have secured chip timing (thanks to Big Bear Events) in order to carry out a 5,000m time trial at our next track session. This session is for all abilities and is a fantastic opportunity to benchmark your current fitness level. We will then aim to carry out another session of the same format in the future, and hopefully between the sessions you will have improved, and therefore be able to set a quicker time. The chip timing allows us not only to give you a finish time, but also a time for each of the 12.5 laps, enabling you to see how well you have paced the run.
When booking the session, if you could put in the notes your best 2021/ 2022 parkrun time (or if you do not have this, then an approximate 5k time based on your current fitness), then this will allow us to split people up into separate runs. Having 3 separate runs on the evening will allow us to have more participants for the session. Having similar paces per run will reduce the amount of overtaking taking place, which leads to travelling a further distance around the track, which will inevitably take a longer time taken.
For those that have not run on track before, this is also a great opportunity to set a PB, due to consistent smooth nature of the surface - so give it your all!
I will be in contact with participants closer to the session with further details, however for now, please book on if you would like to take part.
Additional Information:
* Only runners that have booked 1 of the 45 slots on the clubpal app can attend the session.
* Appropriate running clothes and shoes a must
* Social distancing rules to be adhered to
