Keeping with our 30 minutes of total Thursday threshold effort and also recognising this week as an easier week, the 30 minutes is broken up into 5 x 6 minutes at threshold with 2 minutes jog recovery. Remember that with all training sessions you are trying to adapt a particular physiological system. Running the session faster than intended does not give you more benefit; in fact it probably gives you no benefit as you may be using a different, limited energy process compared to the one we are trying to train and are just knocking your pan in for nothing. Therefore, just because you are only running for 6 minutes at a time rather than 20 minutes as we did last week, do not run any faster than threshold effort (3 word pace). Keep the Heid!
The route for tomorrow is the College Milton Loop as first tested two weeks ago. The route to and from the session is straight along the Queensway and turn into West Mains Road after KFC to enter the industrial estate and the loop. Refer to the post from two weeks ago for a more detailed description of the 2.2km loop.
