Headed for the Heavitree Pleasure Ground, a name which, for reasons which may be apparent only to fellow children of the 80s, put me in mind of Frankie Goes to Hollywood (in fact probably only fellow children of the 80s have heard of Frankie Goes to Hollywood). It's actually a fairly standard park which I employed for a fairly standard travelling intervals session, 10 reps with about a minute in between them. Ended up at 67 seconds uphill and 61 down after being a few seconds slower at the start, not awe-inspiring but fairly reasonable by the end. Achilles tight on the warm-up but OK once going harder.

Going to/from the park. Perhaps at this point the more appropriate lyric might have been "can you tell me, is it still raining there in England" (actually, more appropriate still in the light of the events of the preceding couple of hours might have been "The Red Flag", if I could remember the words).
