Above the Gallops, 1 June 2014Third 25 minute run this morning. Left it a bit late, close to midday. It was hot and the sun was shining. I went up the Gallops, past the prison and along the side of a field. It felt like it was mostly uphill.

In fact it felt almost as bad as run #14.

I also got caught the wrong side of the Gallops itself (again) and ended up having to climb through a hawthorn hedge, dash across the horse track and over a fence. All this scrambling meant that the last 10 minutes were a real challenge, I suspect because I’d got out of my stride.

It’s a nice run up there, so I must work out how to get across the horse track at a sensible place.

Last 25 minute run in a couple of days time, then it’s up to 28 minutes. I suspect those extra 3 minutes are going to hurt the first few times.
