Edinburgh Castle: a painful place to visit the day after you’ve run the Edinburgh half marathon. The half marathon route is down hill, and you feel that in your calf muscles on the countless castle steps.
Below is the Edinburgh 10 mile four weeks before. It had a much better route through the middle of town, starting and ending in the same place. The finish is overlooking Holyrood House, where the royals went when they realised the houses being built in the new town had better rooms than their old home in the castle.
Lot’s of exercise in the last few weeks and I’ve learnt that a strict rule of running is that the ladies wear lycra and the boys don’t. Perhaps cycling could learn from that.Fraser feeling better.
