I can't recall the best explanation I've heard, but I'm glad we do run
counter-clockwise, as my right leg is slightly longer than my left.
I've tried running intervals clockwise once or twice and found it quite
difficult, although I don't know how much of that is due to the leg
length difference and how much is simply lack of practice.
