Club Training Monday 8th July - Chatelherault

Monday's session is at Chatelherault. However, rather than an easy/steady lap, this week's session is in the form of a fartlek. Warm-up at an easy pace along the left hand side of the gorge, up the steep steps, down and across the first stone bridge, up the narrow path. When this narrow path merges into the wider path after about 25 - 50m, the session starts. On each uphill section, increase the effort to steady to hard until the top of the hill. Decide within your pack what is the top of the hill and regroup to a very easy jog until you reach the next distinct hill. Some of these initial uphills will be only 50m long, others will be a few hundred metres long so the effort/pace will vary considerably. The log jam is one of the hills, so do try your best to run as much of the log jam as you can. There are fewer uphills in the second half but take it easy and use the few hills in the second half to run these hills harder, at something like 10k effort.
