Club Training Thursday 9th October

Thursday's session is a threshold session but with relatively short reps and short recoveries compared to our usual threshold sessions. This makes the session less tiring than the usual long threshold reps but only if you do the session correctly! If done correctly then those doing the West XC Relays on Saturday will be fully recovered by Saturday whilst getting the training stimulus of the session.

The session is 12 x 2 minutes at threshold with a 30 second jog recovery. The pace is threshold which will be slightly slower than 10 mile race pace for the faster runners and 10k pace for those whose 10k time is in the vicinity of 50 minutes to an hour. If you set off at 5k pace for this session, then you will not get the training effect but you will be knackered. 

For a change, the session is laps of Colvilles Place (Futura laps). Warm up via Strathaven Rd and Greenhills Rd and then turn right into Singer Rd and right into Colvilles Rd and along to Colvilles Place. Be extremely careful with the road crossings and watch out for uneven pavements and pot holes. Do the laps in an anti-clockwise direction. The cool down is the reverse of the warm-up.
