5.5 miles fartlek

The club training session was supposed to be a fartlek so I took part for once. I didn't particularly feel like doing any major speedwork so just stayed near the back of the pack. The route took us up Woodvale Avenue, down Boclair Road, over Manse Road, along Station Road and over Pendicle Road, then back along Maryhill Road to Garscube Estate. The fast stretches lasted between 1 and 2 minutes with what didn't seem like a very long recovery between them. I had just about got my act together by the time we got to Pendicle Road and put in a reasonable effort on the hill.
