No joke, Monday is an easy, recovery run following on from the excellent performances at the Tom Scott 10 Mile on Sunday. To be effective, recovery runs should be at the lower end of your aerobic range which means very conversational pace with no stress on the breathing. On the day after a race, the pace at which there will be no stress on your breathing will be slower than usual. For those wearing a heart rate monitor chest strap, this is the best way to confirm that you are running at a very easy effort as the heart does not lie.
The route is our first tentative venture into the country. Run out Strathaven Road, round by Sainsburys, up to Langlands Club House. From there, run towards Auldhouse. At Auldhouse cross, turn right and head back towards the new houses and the fingerposts. Turn left on Greenhills Rd, up to Greenhills Roundabout, down Lickprivick and back to the club via The Murray, Crooked Lum and NEL roundabout.
