The weather forecast suggests that snow may be lying in EK on Thursday and if not snow, the temperatures will be around or below freezing by the evening with the risk of very icy pavements. I am suggesting three alternative training sessions for tomorrow depending on the weather conditions:
1. If there is lying snow, then the session is a steady run on the golf course (3 easy pace laps to get used to it). Bring off-road shoes if you have them. Take care.
2. If the pavements are icy and there is no snow on the golf course, the run is an easy run on quiet roads rather than potentially icy pavements. Please use the Sainsbury's loop in an anti-clockwise direction. This means that the only bit of pavement you have to run on in the loop is that on the Greenhills Road stretch of the loop on which you will be running up-hill and less likely to fall if it is icy than you would if running downhill. For the rest of the loop, run on the roads of the industrial estate which should be salted/gritted. Take extreme care at all times not to fall and especially getting to/from the loop. Do 6 laps easy.
3. If the weather forecast is completely wrong and there is no snow or ice, then do an easy run down the Queensway, West Mains Road, East Mains Road, Kingsway and back to the Club.
This is the first "non-rep session" run we have tried during the current restrictions. It is imperative that you run to the pace of the slowest runner in your pack whilst maintaining the required separations. Nobody should be dropped and left alone.
