21 October 2026 - By Ian Lucas

We will meet at the bottom of Highfields Road, by Asda, for this week’s session at our usual time of 7.30pm

You’ve done Kenyan Hills, now time for Spa Road Hills !

This is a new session for us, and will be building on our previous week’s hill sessions.

Efforts will be 5 sets of 1 minute up, recovery back to start, then 6 sets of 45 seconds up, recovery back to start, then 8 sets of 30 seconds up, recovery back to start.

Efforts will be up Spa Road, with recoveries all the way back to our start point.

Pace:  suggest somewhere between 5k and 10k pace to begin, then maintaining pace or increasing slightly as effort times shorten. Aim should be to then maintain pace throughout each set.

Recoveries: gentle jog back to start.

Please remember hi viz and/or lights are ESSENTIAL as the session will be in the dark.

Graham and I look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
