Club Training Thursday 18th January

It is a threshold Thursday this week. The venue for the session depends on whether the roads are clear of snow and ice or not. The session is 4 x 6 minutes at threshold with a 2 minute jog recovery. The total volume of the session is moderate given that we have the West District XC League race at Bellahouston on Saturday.

If there is no snow and ice on the roads, then the session is at Carron Place and is a continuous session around the loop. Warm-up via the Crooked Lum, Murray and Kelvin Rd. Cool down via Greenhills Rd and Strathaven Rd.

If there is still significant snow, then the session is on the golf course. Use the long 6th fairway for the reps. This is the one after you pass Carrigans, cut through the narrow gap onto a wide fairway which runs behind the houses at Torrance Wynd and parallel to the Strathaven Rd. Start the reps after crossing the stone, hump back bridge and run up parallel to the trees on your right and turn left when you reach the end of the forest and left again to run back along the other edge of the fairway towards the hump back bridge. Turn left and left again when you reach the hump back bridge to repeat that lap. It should be pretty good, flat running.
