Thursday's run is a longer but easier run given that many are running the 4k XC on Saturday. This early part of the winter season where we have multiple 4k XC relays and races should be considered as an intense period of training in preparation for the longer cross-countries and Brampton. For that reason, we generally don't cut back on the Thursday session when the Saturday race is around 4k and is a training session in its own right.
The route is Queensway to Holiday Inn, along the Stewartfield by-pass to Kingsgate and back up the Kingsway to the club. Run it relatively easy except for the section from the roundabout at Morrisons to the roundabout at the James Hamilton Heritage Park where the pace should be picked up to 10k race pace. Then run easy back to the club.
