It's threshold Thursday again! Remember this is the effort you could sustain for 1 hour under race conditions, so somewhere between 10k and 10 mile effort. At this effort, each rep becomes uncomfortable after the first minute or two and then remains uncomfortable for the rest of the rep. The recoveries are quite short such that you quickly get into this uncomfortable state on the next rep.
As some will be doing the GU Road Race on Saturday, the number of reps has been reduced compared to last time. Run controlled at all times; don't run yourself into the ground. The session is 3 x 6 minutes with a 2 minute jog recovery.
The route is from the club up Strathaven Rd to Greenhills Rd and then along Greenhills Rd. Start the first rep after crossing High Whitehills Rd (a downhill start!). Carry on all the way to Greenhills roundabout and then turn right onto Lickprivick. Run down Lickprivick and then bear right again at the bottom and head for the Murray Rd and back to the club past the Crooked Lum and the NEL.
