"The Big Round at Wythenshawe Park"

The last Manchester XC League fixture before the Christmas break saw my best run of the season so far. Over a fast, flat but increasingly soggy Wythenshawe Park as a result of driving rain, I ran the three laps of the six and a half mile course in 47.50. For once this was a consistent race with some great running through the twisty sections of wood for which this course is famous. The photo of The Big Round at the far end of the course seems to sum up the weather pretty well!

The rest of the week was am ixture of easy runs and a hard track session on Tuesday including 5 x 800m, 30 seconds recovery and 200m fast. hard work indeed!

Weekly mileage 24. Annual mileage 1208. Races 28.
