Thursday's session is a medium length, pre-race run with strides given that we have quite a large turn out for the National XC Relays on Saturday, which will be energy sapping!
The route is Kingsway to Whirlies, East Mains, West Mains, Queensway back to the club. From the Kingsway BP garage, start the first of 6 x approximately 100m gradual accelerations to 5k pace. The acceleration should take you at least 50m to get to 5k pace. Be very aware of the gradually increasing level of effort as you accelerate to 5k pace. Decide within your packs where you do them but keep them all on downhills or flat sections of the route.
Be very careful of potholes and other trip hazards, particularly as a lot of these hazards are covered by fallen leaves at the moment (says he who had just such an incident on his run tonight).
