Training Log Archive: BrandNewMe

Drove 6 hours home, unpacked, did a weekly shop then flopped.

Harris half. Hefty tail wind was welcome on this point to point course. The only head wind was the 3 uphill miles. rained the whole way. Fun though and a good sociable race with plenty of trots present. My knees hurt though. I think I actually might have to do some strength training for the first time in my life to help my old body out.

another running ambition (heb3 t-shirt) ticked off the to-do list. So much more fun than FFS-Jura.

Early morning crags and radical road before a long day travelling.

Ill, again. Not good.

Cycle to the sprintelope at south queensferry. 19.8miles. I have felt ill since Monday night. I ate something I am allergic too, or it some sort of autoimmune flare. Nausea, stomach pain, brain fog / headache, weak ACHING muscles. Worked from home this morning as I didn't think I could walk the 1.5 miles to work. Tried eating mostly v bland food today (oatcakes) and I felt much better this afternoon, so I reverted to my original plans, and it went ok.

Sprintelope round the housing estate at south queensferry. Fun. I don't think my watch time matches my SI time as I stopped it when I gave directions to some guy who was looking for the event.

Home from work via roseburn cycle path, ferry road cycle path joining into water of leith, then leith links, Easter road and home through holyrood. Getting some longer stuff in as it is 6 weeks until sierre zinal.

Just joined a new running club - LK Gränslöst. Just in time to make my debut for them when we get to Sweden in 2 weeks. V exciting.

One club I won't be joining is 'vegan runners'. I don't think I meet one of the main qualification criteria. I have run alongside one of their members at Skye and Barra. He had to nip into the bushes both races. This is not a great advertisement for Veganisim.
