Dean Castle done

Decided to do my Friday 5k round my local park run course - Dean Castle in Kilmarnock. Took it a bit slower as was still a bit stiff from doing Laura’s speed podcast on Wednesday. It’s twice round a 2.5k route. Past the castle onto the animal paddocks up by the river, round by the duck and swan pond , back past the castle and repeat. All in all an enjoyable run despite being overtaken by two young guys making it look too easy!!

Good for you! That’s great!😄

(I’ve lost count of the runners who have overtaken me. - You would too!)😂

PS Kilmarnock- I haven’t been there for years, but sometimes took my mum (from Millport) to the hospital there.

That's a good run there and looks like an interesting route with plenty to look at it you get the chance😁👍😂

Well done, it sounds as though you enjoyed it! 👏👏👏👍

I’m going to try the Speed Podcast on Tuesday as my speed work for the week!

I haven’t actually been overtaken by anybody! And that’s only because I haven’t yet seen any of the local runners while out running (and there are loads) 😂. They are obviously fairweather, daylight runners who don’t know about chest torches 😂

The speed podcast caught me unaware as it's only about 20 mins long, so being adamant I dont run for less than 30 mins I carried onto 4k and just about lost it. Therefore the slightly slower 5k on Friday. So be careful and prob just do the actual podcast itself. Good luck. BTW no one runs as early as you🤣, it must be great to have your runs to yourself.
