Route Change: I am advised that the hill at Langlands is potentially contaminated with liquid deposited by fly tippers and hence is slippy/unsafe to do reps on. Therefore, please switch to the hill at Auldhouse, running the reps up towards Leaburn Rd. For the warm-up run up the Starthaven Rd, past Sainsburys main entrance, past Langlands club house to Auldhouse. Turn left at Auldhouse Cross and down to the dip where the reps start. For the cool down, come back up to Auldhouse Cross and straight through back via the new houses/fingerposts and Greenhills Rd to Strathaven Rd.

A slight progression from last Thursday, tomorrow's session is as follows:
12 x 30 seconds hill reps, jog down recovery at the hill at Langlands
Consistency is the name of the game. So try to hit the same finishing points on each and every rep. The effort should feel like a 1 mile to 3k race effort, although the uphill pace will be somewhat slower. With this session, we are trying to develop running power. Therefore, keep the body tall and extend the leg fully when powering up the hill. Keep good form. If you are tying up towards the end of each rep or towards the end of the session, you have probably gone too fast.
Take the usual warm-up through the Glen (probably for the last time due to fading daylight) and gather at the corner at the bottom of the hill. After the session, return to the club via Sainsburys and the Strathaven Road.
