A hard 8 x 800m session on Tuesday with the Glasgow lunchtime runners on the Broomielaw followed by a slightly easier hill session on Wednesday in Kelvingrove park with the BBC crew.

On Thursday I joined the Glasgow lunchtime runners again for a tempo run in, 10 minutes out, 10 minutes back, 5:54 min/mile pace. Burst again, these guys push hard.

Friday night was the Calderglen Harriers trail 10k race where I pay after a fast start and overstraining during the week with jelly legs. Still manag to finish 10th and 3rd vet so can't complain.

Sunday was the first long training run since London with George Taylor and Colin Thomas for company. 17 miles in total, Southside six route, pretty tough after 15 miles but at least it stayed dry.
