Club Training Thursday 4th December

Thursday is a pre-AGM, pre-race easy run with strides. It's an early start (7pm) for those who can make it.

The route is Club to NEL roundabout, Kingsway to Whirlies, East Mains Rd to railway station and from there to Avondale. The strides are short, uphill strides and jog down recoveries. From our usual Avondale start point, do 6 x 10 seconds uphill accelerations to 5k pace and jog down recovery. Then run easy back to the club.

Club Training Monday 1st December

Monday's session is at Langlands Place and is a progression from a session we did a month ago. The session is 6 x 800m at 5k pace followed by 2 x 400m at 5k pace. The recoveries between reps are pack dependent as follows for the 800m reps:  90 seconds rest for packs 1-3, 2 mins rest for 4 to 7; 2:30 for 8 to 10. For the 400m reps, the recoveries are 1 minute. The recoveries are stand/jog around, whichever works best for you (I would recommend jogging around after a brief stand).
