With two races over the weekend (GU Road Race, Alloa Half) in which many Harriers are involved, Thursday's run is a pre-race, easy run with strides. However, with the prospect of potentially icy weather and perhaps snow, the main instruction is to be careful. It is though better to go out for some sort of run and keep the legs moving than to miss a run completely ahead of the race to avoid feeling lethargic and stiff on Saturday or Sunday.
The usual advice is that if the conditions are snowy, then head for the golf course and take it very easy for two laps with 5 x approx 80 to 100m strides at 5k effort. However, if the pavements are not icy and are runnable, then do Queensway, West Mains, Lidl, Chuchill Avenue, Club, again with 5 x 80 to 100m strides.
