Training Log: Big Jon

Down to Kinker for a bramble picking session (4 litres), then most way back to home, but unusual tyre burst - rim of front wheel failed... luckily when going slowly up a hill. Only a short distance to wheel bike home. new wheels next week I think :-)

Davan - Culblean hill- Cambus.
Took it steady - a glorious day, sunny and hot. Legs feeling tired so just plodded up the hill with some stops to take in the view :-)
Breathing seemed much more relaxed today.

BCT car park, up big hill to Carn Ferg, a 5 minute break to enjoy the views - 360 degrees, then down to the Gamies track and back. A wonderful afternoon - low sun, warm air a breeze and superb views - can't be many places better than Deeside on a sunny September day :-)
On the down side my breathing was terrible - really struggled the whole way up the hill. Legs not 100% either - still struggling a bit from Tuesday.

Half of coaching course at Dess Woods - struggling with tired legs from last night's session.

Deeside Runners 2x4mins then 8x1 up through the forest. V steep and rough - road shoes not the best!
Dark for return along Firmouth track.

Close to running out of energy by end...

A real-life class!! A matwork session and felt fairly easy. Nice to be back in the hall.

Surveying school in Aberdeen. Pleasant late afternoon - and some luxuriant brambles so ate plenty :-)
