The Glasgow Athletics Association are putting together a series of endurance sessions for the spring/summer – on the road.
These follow on from a very successful programme of cross country sessions over the winter period which prepared athletes for the Lindsays National XC.
Now the focus is to seek to improve performance over 5k and 10k (or indeed 5000m and 10000m)
Athletes from the U17 age group and above are invited to join the sessions which will take place in Glasgow Green. The meeting place is on the river side of the People’s Palace greenhouse and all sessions start at 10.30am (athletes should be warmed up and ready to start for then).
The first session takes place this Saturday (April 9) and is as follows: 10 min tempo; 1 min jog; 10 x1 min with 1 min recovery; 1 min jog; 10 min tempo.
Further dates are: May 14, June 4 and July 2.
