As we have a little bit of a gap from Grand Prix races through the festive season, now is a good time to switch back to hills and some strength training. We shall do a gradual build in volume of reps at Avondale over the coming month or so.
This Monday is 6 x Avondale at about 3k effort level (definitely not sprinting but strong, fast paced running). Jog down to recover.
As always, safety comes first, so please keep to the wide pavement on the right to round the corner until you have a clear view of any traffic up the hill and can step onto the road if clear to do so. If the roads and pavements are icy but still runnable, then take extreme care on the way back down and do not push too hard on the way up the hill in case your feet slip and jar a hamstring.
The warm-up is the usual Strathaven Rd, Churchill Avenue, round the back of Lidl and turn right onto Avondale. Start the reps on the wide pavement just after the junction on the right. Cool down via the direct route from Avondale back to the club.
During this wintery period, remember that if on any club night where a road session was planned but there is significant snow fall, then any planned road session should switch to a steady cross-country run on the golf course. Should we have a significant number of days of continuous snow cover, then the Blog sessions will give a more specific rep session on the golf course.
