Monday is a post-TTC run to ease the legs out after some bigger than usual miles by many over the weekend. This is therefore a recovery run where the effort level should feel easy whilst trying to deliberately run light on the feet to counteract any natural heaviness in the legs following the weekend. For those with the GSR coming up the week after, this is the last week of big miles, running on tired legs, so you should run the middle section of this run at target half marathon pace to simulate the tired legs you will have in the latter third of the half marathon.
The route is Kingsway to the Whirlies, then East Mains and West Mains Rd to McDonalds and onto the Queensway. After passing the BP station, those on GSR training should pick the pace up to target half marathon pace and keep that going to the Murray roundabout. Then the final section back to the club via Strathaven Rd is easy. The packs will split at BP into those doing GSR and those recovering from TTC. Those recovering, do not give chase!
On Thursday, we will be back onto long hills at Avondale.
