Club Training Thursday 21st November

Thursday's session is a light repetition session at Langlands Place to fire the muscles up ahead of the Lanarkshire Road Relays in which many from the club are competing. Take the usual route to/from Langlands Place via Strathaven Rd and Sainsburys. Thereafter, the session is 8 x 400m at 5k pace with a 1 minute stand/jog around recovery. For those who have not done a Langlands Place session before, the road is 400m long and therefore each rep is the full length of the road, which is a dead end. The objective with the session is to do every rep in exactly the same time and definitely not to sprint the last repetition. The table below gives the 400m time for a range of 5k race paces.

Brampton Video

The video below popped up in my YouTube feed. It covers the finishers in the first 6 or 7 minutes. Jordan passes through at about 5:50 into the video. Jim, Billy and myself feature for all 7 minutes as, unbeknownst to us, we were standing in front of the camera! All 4 parts of the video now added.

Club Training Monday 18th November

Not surprisingly, Monday is an easy, post-race run. The aim is to get the muscles working gently on a short, relaxed run and then have a good stretch back at the club when the muscles are warm to ease out any tightness from today's race.

The route is the Queensway to KFC, turn right down West Mains Rd to the railway station and then on to Lidl. Go around the back of Lidl and up Avondale and back to the club. Do the full club stretch set on return to the club.

Club Training Thursday 14th November

Thursday's session is a pre-Brampton easy run with a handful of short, fast uphill strides to activate the muscles without fatiguing them. This gives Super-compensation come race day by adding extra spring to the step. 

The route is an easy run to Carron  Place via Strathaven Rd and Greenhills Rd. From there, jog a lap and a half lap to the bottom of the downhill section on the far side of the lap. Then do 5 x 10 sec fast strides back up the hill with a jog back down. Cool down with one complete easy lap and then back to the club.
