Training Thursday 28th May

I've been taken a little bit by surprise by the Scottish Athletics 15 or 30 minute distance challenge this weekend. This means we have to be a bit relaxed on our Thursday session if planning to do one of those hard, sustained race pace efforts over the weekend. Therefore do around 8 miles easy. Finish with 6 x approx 100m fast strides on the flat.

Can I ask the team captains to organise their strongest team effort for the distance challenge. See the SA event page for details of teams and categories. It's basically 4 per team in various gender and age categories. We need to make sure our strongest runners are doing the same time duration event and not split with some doing 15 minutes and some doing 30 minutes. Our ladies did exceptionally well in the 1 mile challenge. Let's do the same or even better this time.
