"Recovery" week

Only 26 miles completed this week as the training plan called for a bit of a breather before it reaches its climax in a couple of weeks time.

Eight and five mile lunchtime runs at Dulwich during the week and then 13 miles in Pollok Park in Glasgow at the weekend bringing my total for the month to a very healthy 118.4 miles.


Pollok Park is a lovely place to run, with Highland cattle roaming around, good offroad paths and nice woodland and riverside scenery. And unusually for Glasgow the February weather was really nice, warmish sunshine and no wind. There were plenty of other runners and cyclists out enjoying the conditions.

I did 8 laps of a 1.6 mile circuit, feeling pretty sluggish at the beginning, probably due to the effects of the birthday dinner for my Mum the previous night, but speeded up towards the end and even managed a wee sprint up the "home" straight on the last lap.

My total for the year is now 207.43 miles, and my marathon training still seems nicely on target.
