Our 400(ish) meter track at Hallhill is in an appalling
state right now. It’s lumpy, uneven, muddy and generally bereft of grass in
large patches. We still have interval training on it, though in effect what we
are doing is the equivalent of trail running round a roughly 400m long sheep track
– a sort of thin, bare, muddy line that at one time used to follow a white line
in the grass. What used to be “the inside lane” now has the distinct feel of a
shallow trench. It’s surprising that “Time Team” haven’t turned up to look for
old WWI relics.
Still. It’s what we have…so we use it. And the effort put in
to a session, if done properly, is just as great – so the rewards should be the
same. Last night session was a fairly tough one (1 mile followed by 6 x 1000m) and
it ended what’s been not too bad a week.
Managing to keep the weekly mileage up above 50 – which
isn’t too bad for a working week, but I’m aware that I’ve got a marathon in
only ten weeks – so I really should be pushing that up a bit and getting some
quality long runs under my belt. Not always an easy task when you’re weekends
are “spoken for” with XC races etc.
XC at Berwick on Sunday, so I’ll have to try and get a long
run in on Saturday.
Got a few days leave that I have to “use or loose” before
the end of February – so using one and taking a long weekend. Might try to get
in a decent run on Monday as well then.
