Heeding the current restrictions (max 2 people socially distanced) and as it looks like the dreich weather should get rid of the ice by Monday, we return to long hills on the road. Again, to allow you to choose your own local hill, I will describe the session in terms of time per rep rather than mentioning a specific hill. But we all have plenty of choice of hills in EK, Cambuslang, Rutherglen (and Callander), so shouldn't be a problem finding a long enough hill.
The session is 5 x 3 minutes up hill at threshold effort (3 word pace) with a brisk run down to recover. Ideally the recovery for a threshold session should be about 1/3 of the rep time, so 1 minute in this case but you would have to sprint down the hill to achieve that, so just do a brisk run down to the start to keep the lactate levels up so you don't over recover between reps. Remember to comment on Strava where you did the session and if you managed to fit the 3 minutes in on your chosen hill as it will prove useful for others looking for a suitable hill for future sessions. Once again, do check for ice on your hill before doing the session, just to be sure.
