This Monday is a threshold session assuming you had an easy run on the Sunday, otherwise delay this session until the Tuesday. Threshold is stressful on the body!
5 x 6 minutes at threshold with a 2 minute jog recovery.
Start off with 15 to 20 minutes to warm-up and also 15-20 minutes to cool down at the end.
There are a few "walking wounded" in the Harriers at present, myself included. So do make sure that after every training session, you go through our full set of stretches as many of us used to do after every session at the club. The stretching is to reduce stiffness the day after and it could be that the various injuries we are suffering are due to cumulative stiffness in the muscles causing damage when we go into a reps session. The stretches are detailed in this sunny post from Portugal.
