| Comment | At the moment, I find Kelvingrove and the Kelvin Way are far too busy. The Maryhill Canal and so on out West is ok if you go early but gets very busy from noon onwards.
So if you're up early a good 13-mile route (though very flat) is to follow the Kelvin Way and then Canal all the way to Clydebank, drop down to the Clyde and then follow the cycle route back through Yoker/Scotstoun to Partick.
At the moment I use Ruchill Park for shorter high-intensity runs (it's very hilly) as the paths are very wide and the park is nice and quiet even at peak times.
For longer runs, I head out through Ruchill/Possil and join up with the Forth and Clyde canal at Lambhill, which skips out the busy section and means you're only really sharing the path with a few cyclists, and just out and back as far as I can be bothered.
Another quiet 13-mile-ish route from the West End with some reasonable hills is to again head to Lambhill, follow the Balmore Rd out past the Western Necropolis to Bardowie, Torrance and then back along the Forth and Clyde. |
