The first week of my new training plan (4 runs, 2 circuit classes) and it seemed to go pretty well.  The week started on Tuesday with an easy 5k up to Bellahouston Park with Alan, the weather was pretty grim and my legs were still tired from last week. Tuesday evening was a more sunny affair with a club session in Pollok Park of 15 x 300m with walking recoveries.  Felt strong. Good training for the final straight in the upcoming Polaroid 10k series.  A dry and still fartlek session followed on Wednesday with the BBC crew, the highlight being one of Graham's homemade chia seed energy bar in the afternoon.

On Thursday HRH Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay 
was visiting BBC Scotland and arrived at the same time I was trying to leave, in a pair of shorts. This made the simple task of walking out the front door a little more difficult than normal. Once out it was a wet hill  session in Kelvingrove Park with the Glasgow lunchtime running group. It was my first time with them and I seemed to fit into the middle of the group so happy about that. Will go back. 


On Friday I returned for a second dose of Stella's circuits class. Tough. 


Saturday's efforts was a sunny morning 4 mile jog around Pollok with clubmate Craig before a great parkrun (17:20 pb / 5th) followed by an easy 4 mile warmdown with Bryan.
