Bay 2 Bay Training Program Week 7

Bay 2 Bay Training Program Week 7

You are now half way through the training program.  Six more weeks to go and counting down. Great work.

For those on the less than an hour Bay To Bay 12km program, I’ve included a 3k time trial on Tuesday evening.  If you are a local, head down to Coast Runners Time Trial Night at Mingara Athletics Centre for their 3k event.  It’s lots of fun and a great atmosphere. Details are on the Coast Runners Facebook site.
