Tuesday February 7: 30-minute hill session, using the paths at both sides of the dual carriageway.  The session will take place in the Public Park Dunfermline, meeting at the bandstand, Dunfermline public park meeting point, with city centre parking around Carnegie Hall and train station.   The session will be led by Lesley.

Thursday February 9:  Progressive 400s, 8-10 x 400m, with 2 minute recoveries between.  Begin at slightly slower than your 10k race pace; gradually speed up so that your last repeat is slightly faster than your 5K race pace.  Meet at the bottom of Pitreavie drive in the industrial estate, by Stuart King Architecture and Design,  Pitreavie Drive meeting place Park at Pitreavie Sports Centre or in the industrial estate.  Plotaroute map – 400m efforts.  The session will be led by Karl.

 

Sessions begin with a dynamic warmup at 18:45 with the session starting at 18:50. Don’t forget to do a good warm up (e.g. 10 minutes or so gentle jogging) before the dynamic warmup, and do a cool down after the session.

The Return to Running group will also be meeting in Pitreavie Industrial Estate on Thursday. The group is ideal for members wanting to ease back into training or looking for a gentler session.

If training needs to be cancelled for any reason, we will post on Facebook. If conditions are dodgy, please check before traveling to training.

Remember, if you have any symptoms of any potentially transmissible illness (not just Covid), please do not attend training.
