steady run warm up/down 32:00 [3]

Deeside Runners to Rhu-na-haven Road and bak after.

pace run 17:00 [4]

Binned idea of intervals due to icy pavements and roads, did 2 x long tempo pace instead, Rhu-na-haven Road to east, Bridgeview Place and then A93 to Rnh R. 8-49 and 8-29 (second one ran on road for most of A93 rather than crunchy, icy pavement). Pleased with pacing, nice steady effort without busting a gut.
Right calf a bit achy at end, need to do some massage and maybe rolling over next few days to make sure it is fine for Saturday/Sunday.

steady run warm up/down 40:00 [3]

Over to DAP and then lap of first loop of race to check course. Feeling a bit meh after pilates (always do the day after...).

Cross-country race 44:00 [5]

Dess Night Race. Started a bit quicker than previous races but was overhauled by plenty on the first hill. Right calf felt a bit tight on forest road near end of first loop so eased back a fraction on descent. OK on flats but felt it a bit on uphills on second loop. Sore by send of third loop and tightened up quite a bit after race. Hobbled back over hill to home.
Rest required and some gentle stretching. Nothing on till next weekend...
