Club Training Thursday 25th March

For Thursday the session is a Threshold Thursday session. Not as high volume as usual given that Monday's session was tough and will still be in the legs of those who did it (particularly if you did the session on Tuesday rather than Monday).

The session is:

Medium length steady run with a step up to 1 x 12 minute threshold effort towards the end of the run as described in the venues below. Reduce back down to easy pace for the run to the finish.

Under current rules, we are limited to a maximum of 15 in any venue. This session isn't using a venue as such but uses a route. If we have more than 15 registered, then we will use two different routes as described below. However as the first hundred metres of both routes is the same, please can the second group delay your departure until the first group is clear of your turn-off at Colonsay (you should be able to see the first group leaving the EKSC car park). As we are out on more public streets, please be strict with the social distancing within packs (5m inline, 2m side-by-side) and give pedestrians a wide berth in single file.

Venue 1 (parking at EKSC car park): The route is from the club to Murray Roundabout, turn left along the Murray Road and keep going through The Murray and Westwood until you reach Hairmyres Road, turn right and run down to the Queensway. Start the 12 minute effort on the Queensway heading back up past the town centre towards the club. Regroup into your pack when the 12 minutes is up and run the short remaining distance back to the club.

Venue 2 (parking at Torrance Golf Course/zoo car park): The route is from the club, past the Colonsay Field parking entrance and then turn right through the concrete bollards down through the houses at Colonsay (as if we were going to XC training), up and out onto High Common Road, St Leonards Road, past Brancumhall, Maxwellton Road up to Calderwood Square and down to the Whirlies. Start your 12 minute effort at the Whirlies up the Kingsway and back to the club. Regroup and run easy the short distance back to the club.
