Penkridge Runners - THE ESCALATOR session

Tonight we went UP, UP, UP! 🚀
Five sets. Five levels. No lift required!

Set 1. 5 mins steady jog
Set 2. 10 mins sprint the straights, jog the bends
Set 3. 10 mins 1 min tempo / 1 min steady
Set 4. 10 mins 2 mins steady / 2 mins easy
Set 5. 5 mins FINAL PUSH — as many laps as possible, racing against yourself!

The legs got heavier, the pace got quicker and that final 5 minutes was ALL OUT! 🔥
Brilliant effort from everyone tonight. The Escalator definitely delivered! Well done to everyone involved tonight 🇳🇺👏

Todays Penkridge Runners session – Driveway Dash or Crash 💥

What a session! Driveway Dash or Crash delivered exactly what it promised – tough, fast and fiercely rewarding.

Set 1 (20 mins): Shuttles built from 40m right up to 100m – all uphill – with a steady jog back for recovery. Every 20m step-up ramped up the burn, legs screaming as the distance climbed.

Set 2 (20 mins): Reverse gear! Started at 100m and worked back down to 40m, same uphill effort, same tight recovery. Testing your pace control when fatigue hits hard.

Perfect for holding form & power uphill over changing lengths – a proper endurance & speed test that pushed every single one. Hard work, massive payoff. Great effort from the whole team! 👏🔥
Thank you to Clare for planning and delivering the session.
