Balloch to Clydebank Half Marathon
First half marathon of the year this Sunday. Finished in a sedate time of 1.46.52. Possibly my slowest half ever !!! Started on the scenic shores of Loch Lomond and followed quite a picturesque route. I was reasonably happy with the performance. I'm not quite up to half marathon standard yet after my lay-off. I managed to run all the way -- although the last couple of miles were torture. I would hope to get some training in over the next couple of weeks and do a little better in Helensburgh.
P.S. Did a quick speed session on the treadmill at the Donald Dewar. Only had half an hour available. 5 minutes warm up -- 6x200m intervals with 30" rest in between -- 5 minute cool down. It took 20 minutes.
