Coach Deb has set us some good lockdown drills and we are enjoying our lamp post turnabouts. No need to measure anything and you’re guaranteed a decently lit track at any time. And even better the track is just outside the house!!
In fact we forgot the details the first time so made it up a little and enjoyed the variation. Not forgetting the usual warm up and form drills that must look slightly strange to the occasional dog walker and pram pusher.
For the turnabouts we run fast between 2 lamp posts, pause 30 seconds, turn around for a fast return. Repeat so you run 4 x 2 lamp posts followed by 1×3 lamp posts (all with 30 seconds). Take a 7 minute break for a good recovery then repeat, but in reverse – starting with the 3 lamp post run.
With home being across the road we forget to cool down and head straight indoors. But on remembering we head back out for a cool down.
Definitely one to repeat, we both liked this variation (having confirmed it was a definite variation on what had been set).
