As mentioned previously we are at the start of three hard weeks prior to a taper week for The Lost Sheep. Obviously not everyone is doing LS, for anyone else treat the sessions as normal and arrange your personal drive to peak for your own “A”. Feel free to have a chat about peaking for races later in the season, especially longer races, 70.3 or late season marathons. The session this week will be repeat 400s. People have been very good at balancing their racing against the intensity and volume of the sessions. If you are racing at the weekend, particularly a Saturday race, doing a full session at max intensity would not be advisable.

Easy warm up
Stretch
Strides
12 x 400m with 200m easy recovery jog
Cool down
The session is held at the UCC Playing Fields (The Farm) just off the Curraheen Road close to the Greyhound Stadium. Usual arrangements, we try to get the session started promptly at 6:30pm, so get there a little before. Quite a few runners get there a good bit early and do a longer easy warm up around the pitches. There is parking inside the facility over by the dressing rooms and toilet facilities there as well.
