Weekend warrior

The left hamstring still feels rather dead after I sit for a while. So all speedwork is off for a week or two. But I got in a lovely 10 miler on Saturday morning. It turns out that if I run across town, pick up the Thames at Maidenhead bridge, follow the river south until the A355 bridge, and then cut back to my final destination of Dedworth school, the distance is within a gnat's ITB of 10 miles. As last week, completed in 90 mins on the button. Loads of runners out, a good few rowers, and plenty of triathletes as I skirted the southern perimeter of Dorney lake. A lovely morning to be on the towpath.

So, in the absence of speedwork, that run was bookended by two shorter efforts of what I suppose count as junk miles / recovery run. Not to worry, they too were very pleasant, and featured an almost complete absence of tarmac.

Now I just need to work out the limit of what's possible in a weekend while remaining injury-free.
