This clue could be a double definition.

'the weary walk' is the first definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plod that I've seen before include "bluebottle, say" , "Walk heavily and wearily" , "Work (or walk) laboriously" , "Slow heavy walk" , "Walk heavily, trudge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
