Grand Old Duke of York (intervals)

Spurred on with your going to the gym in the mornings (and how much better I feel when I've done exercise before work) I got up this morning and went for a run. It was a nice sunny morning so it was a pleasant thing to do.

I did the old interval training I used to do up the Grand Old Duke of York route. Whe I left the house I felt pretty rubbish. My running felt laboured and I felt like I was suffereing from the normal morning lack of real energy when I try to exercise in the morning.

Although, I never felt great I was surprised when I got a lot further on the route (it's done on time, not distance) than I normally did. To be honest, though, I think it's the fitness I've gained from cycling that got me through it rather than any element of good running.
