With a dozen Harriers entered for the Glasgow University Road Race on Saturday, Thursday's run is another split session with those doing the race doing a shorter run with strides and those not doing the race doing a longer run.
The longer run is the 4 hills done as an uphill fartlek which means picking up the pace to about threshold or 10-mile race effort on each of the longer uphills (of which there are more than 4!). Decide within your packs when to put the effort in. Between the efforts, run easy in your pack.
For those racing on Saturday, do the first hill only (Market Hill) and then run down East Mains Rd and turn left back along West Mains Rd to Lidl and up Churchill Avenue. Run easy. When you get back to the club, do 6 x strides up the main drive, starting at the K-Park/EKSC car park entrance and finishing at the end of the cricket pitch. Accelerate to about 90% effort but running fast, not sprinting. Jog slowly back down after each one.
