Everyone should have recovered from the Vertical Mile by now, so back to our once per 10-day threshold sessions. These sessions are designed to adapt your physiology to be able to continue to maintain a quality pace in the presence of rising lactate levels as we ask for power from the legs at a faster rate than our muscle energy stores and blood oxygen can provide it. This is what happens in races of about an hour in duration where you are continuously operating at that limit.
3 x 10 minutes with 3:30 jog recovery.
Warm-up through the glen to the tunnel. Climb up the bank onto the Stathaven Rd and turn right at the Crutherland onto the back road. Start the session at our usual right hand 90 degree bend a few hundred metres further on. At the junction with Leaburn Rd, turn left and immediately right and continue up to the next junction where you turn right onto the top, rough road. Carry on along the top road, through the cross roads (be prepared to stop for traffic at the cross roads) and then eventually follow the road as it sweeps down to the right. When you reach Leaburn road again, turn right and continue back to the Park Farm junction. Continue past Park Farm, Langlands hill and Sainsburys and back to the Strathaven Rd and the club.
Remember to fill in the training registration form before 18:30 on Monday.
