Club Training Thursday 25th August

Thursday is a further progression of the hill rep session at Langlands. This time the reps are 50% longer but the pace should be the same as in the previous two weeks. The session is 8 x 45 seconds with a jog down recovery. As always, the aim is to get to the same point on each rep; no prizes for saving yourself early on and then wasting yourself on the last one. The aim is to know instinctively what the right pace is to hit the same mark despite increasing fatigue through the session. This knowledge of your own ability will serve you well in races and help avoid the common mistake of too fast too soon early in race situations.

The warm up is via the Strathaven Rd and Sainsburys to Langlands, making maximum use of the remaining daylight. Cool down is the reverse.

This would also be a good session for any juniors who can make it.
