HiddenPeak Running Aberdeen Group Training - Kings Playing Field Pyramid Session

Step into history and lace up your running shoes to experience a unique training session at King's College in Old Aberdeen. For over a century, Olympic athletes and Great Britain internationals have honed their skills on the historic playing fields of this prestigious institution.
Join us for an exclusive opportunity to follow in these champions' footsteps by participating in our upcoming event. The evening begins with a guided warm-up led by experienced coaches who will help you prepare your body efficiently for high-intensity training, focusing on movement quality and speed development.
The main session features a challenging interval workout designed to improve pacing control while building aerobic fitness. You’ll complete 1-minute efforts progressing up through 2, 3, and 4 minutes, then back down again, with each effort separated by 60 seconds of recovery time. This is followed by six rapid bursts of speed over 20-second intervals, interspersed with 80 seconds of rest to hone your sharpness.
To conclude the session on a fun note, participants will form teams for a relay race that lasts five minutes. This event adds an element of friendly competition and camaraderie to the evening’s activities before moving into a cool-down period complete with stretching exercises aimed at aiding recovery.
Our welcoming group is always eager to welcome new members, so bring along a friend if you wish. Coaches will be on hand throughout the session offering support, encouragement, and valuable advice tailored to your needs as an athlete.
The meeting point for this event is in the car park of ASV Aquatics Centre off Regent Walk; please refer to the provided map for exact directions. Participants should arrive prepared to start at 6pm sharp, with the entire session lasting exactly one hour including warm-up and cool-down routines.
