Club Training Monday 17th March

Monday's session is another threshold session (unless you were racing over the weekend, in which case it is an easy run on the same route as the efforts). The session is 4 x 8 minutes at threshold with a two and a half minute jog recovery. For a slight change of scenery, do this session around Carron Place. The warm-up is up the Strathaven Rd onto Greenhills Rd and then first right into the Kelvin and on to Carron Place, starting the first rep at the usual location near the post box and running the reps around Carron Place in an anti-clockwise direction. With these slightly longer threshold reps, it is particularly important to start off at the correct level of effort and not to go too fast. The idea is to finish each rep feeling like you could have kept going at that effort level for much, much longer (theoretically up to one hour). Therefore, you should not be bent over double and straining at the end of each rep. This should be controlled discomfort.

Thursday's session is shorter, pre-race reps at Langlands Place.
