6 miles fartlek

The club training session was a fartlek with one large pack consisting of the 15 or so who had turned up. We headed down Maryhill Road at a very slow pace, something like 9-minute miles, and after the second fast burst, when we reached the top of Queen Margaret Drive, the faster runners went on ahead. As we sprinted towards the entrance to the Botanic Gardens, Joe overheard a pedestrian saying, "This is insane!" The recoveries got shorter as we headed back along Great Western Road. I put in a decent effort on all the fast sections.
