Thursday's session is an easy, pre-race run with strides. For those not doing the GSR or any other race at the weekend, this will be an opportunity for an easier run, building the low intensity, aerobic volume that should form the majority of our training.
The route is not very imaginative unfortunately. Run up to the NEL roundabout and then straight through to pick up the Queensway. Thereafter carry on to West Mains Rd, follow that back past the railway station to Lidl and back up Churchill Avenue to the Strathaven Rd and the club. Fit in 6 x approx 100m gradual accelerations to 10k pace and hold that 10k pace for the second half of each 100m. Do this on the slight downhill or flat sections of the course, starting the first one when you reach the first downhill stretch of the Queensway. Thereafter, decide within your packs where to do each set of strides.
We have had a few trips and falls on club runs in recent weeks. Spread yourself out within your pack so that you can see what is coming up ahead and stay focused!
