Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I've done some Quality today. Went to parkrun and didn't just doodle round. Average 7.53mm pace, hoping now that I can do something similar over 10k next weekend.

I had my Double Athletics yesterday. A bit like Double Maths but much more fun.

The real quality bit was mastering the 'hop' in shot put, only my second lesson on this. There are three ways you can move across the circle - hop, glide and rotate, we are starting with hop. The hardest thing to master is keeping your weight over the back foot so you end up in the same position as you start -and THEN the weight transfers (through the shot)

Have been enjoying your blogs about perfecting the skills essential to your sports, Sharkie :)

I'm hoping I can go a bit faster on a less wiggly course. But there's no hurry, I've got all year to get my 5k WAVA up over 76%, and a birthday in two months' time should help.

There was an element of quantity in my quality session yesterday. My coach said it was a tough but reckoned I could handle it: high jump, shot put, block starts and then a long gym weights session with an emphasis on power.

...Power meaning heavy weights moved fast. Not as heavy as a pure strength session but we're not talking dinky pink or purple dumbbells either.

Maintained by Sharkie
A place to record your quality sessions. Once a week for a kick off, if you can. Doesn't have to be running but for once I'm asking for exercise related stuff.

It has to be a session that you feel ticks all the boxes, something you really commit to, do what you mean to do. No half hearted stuff, but no plod through it either. In the words of my elite sprinter friends, you 'execute'. (Not really my friends it's just what they say on the telly.) Not necessarily hard, a...
