Run 29:14 [2] 5.01 km (5:50 / km) +60m 5:30 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
Tweaked my ankle on an unexpected root at one stage, but was all good after a minute so no dramas
Monday Nov 29, 2021 #
Swimming 23:36 [1] 1.0 km (23:36 / km)
Felt pretty tough, but will try to get back into some more swimming.
Somehow need to weave in S&C as well, but don't really have time in the afternoon, and I have very little interest in getting up early!
Sunday Nov 28, 2021 #
Run 1:44:45 [2] 21.19 km (4:57 / km) +150m 4:46 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
A very nice sunny morning again, muchos enjoyment + good chats
Should have worn flats, but we hadn't decided on a route so played it safe in case he wanted to go up the seat - should have known he wouldn't be keen
Saturday Nov 27, 2021 #
Run 44:00 [2] 8.01 km (5:30 / km) +150m 5:01 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
Not too much damage done - a few trees down here and there, but someone had already been out with a chainsaw by the time I got there so no worries
Friday Nov 26, 2021 #
Run 44:17 [2] 7.98 km (5:33 / km) +150m 5:04 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
Got out after a zoom, figured it'd be nice to get the run done in the sunlight before Storm Arwen
Wednesday Nov 24, 2021 #
Run 50:00 [2] 8.21 km (6:05 / km) +120m 5:41 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
Rather chilly this evening, seems like winter is fast approaching
Tuesday Nov 23, 2021 #
Run 46:12 [2] 8.11 km (5:42 / km) +150m 5:13 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
Not a great few days for training, too much pub and not enough sleep!
Started a course last week so training will continue to be a bit aimless for a while, but not too bothered about that - just going to keep it ticking over, then can worry about setting goals once I've less going on.
Saturday Nov 20, 2021 #
Run 19:21 [3] 5.05 km (3:50 / km)
shoes: Waverider TT
In the club till 3am, mistakes were made. Woke up at quarter to 9, staggered out of bed and managed to make it there by 8:58 - no worries.
Course was nothing too exciting, just 4 laps of the same playing fields, but seemed to work quite well as a hangover cure

Run 1:12:43 [2] 12.44 km (5:51 / km) +130m 5:33 / km

Run 27:45 [2] 5.07 km (5:28 / km) +70m 5:07 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
Feet feeling a bit battered, I guess from slapping them about at Braids in ancient xtalons
Saturday Nov 13, 2021 #
Run 37:59 [4] 9.3 km (4:05 / km) +200m 3:41 / km
shoes: X-Talon 230
I think my PB might have been 38:46 way back in 2015, but I'm not 100% sure on this.
Anyway, decided before I started that I would be happy enough with 38:XX, so getting a 37 something (just) is a fairly big win!
Very little to report, fell on the first time down the descent - forced into the mud to get round a slowpoke and promptly slid on my arse, but successfully completed the overtake.
Started suffering a bit on the 2nd lap but only 20 seconds slower so not bad
Felt like I was missing top gear but that makes sense given the lack of speedwork recently.
Happy enough with that!

Swimming 22:00 [1] 1.0 km (22:00 / km)
Swimming into the ropes a lot today, maybe it threw me off balance
Thursday Nov 11, 2021 #
Run 50:32 [2] 8.27 km (6:07 / km) +130m 5:40 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
Hopefully won't make a habit of this (despite it being very nice) - I am not a morning person
Wednesday Nov 10, 2021 #
Run 1:03:14 [2] 10.3 km (6:08 / km) +120m 5:48 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
Need new shoes, the TTs have less grip than the waveriders at this stage
Tuesday Nov 9, 2021 #
Run 28:47 [2] 5.02 km (5:44 / km) +65m 5:23 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
Sunday Nov 7, 2021 #
Run 1:17:09 [2] 13.1 km (5:53 / km) +320m 5:15 / km
shoes: Waverider 25
But a much nicer day today, was very nice in the sun.
Saturday Nov 6, 2021 #
Cycling 2:26:41 [1] 57.26 km (23.4 kph) +260m
shoes: Eastway R3
Started off absolutely pissing it down, then it briefly threatened to come nice weather, and finished off pissing it down again.
Also a howling gale the entire time.
Was good though, enjoyable despite the foul conditions!
Friday Nov 5, 2021 #
Swimming 20:25 [1] 0.8 km (25:31 / km)
Just as mediocre now as I was in August, so that's good at least. Probably ought to try to get a little bit better at it though
Thursday Nov 4, 2021 #
Run 48:34 [1] 8.01 km (6:04 / km) +180m 5:27 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
So tired at the start, but it was a very nice morning and a beautiful sunrise, so soon woke up and started enjoying myself
Wednesday Nov 3, 2021 #
Run 1:02:02 [2] 10.5 km (5:54 / km) +140m 5:32 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
A great evening for it, and only saw 3 people the whole time we were off the roads. Excellent stuff
Tuesday Nov 2, 2021 #
Run 28:52 [2] 5.68 km (5:05 / km) +60m 4:50 / km
shoes: Waverider 25
Mainly in the back though, a bit in the glutes, but legs relatively unscathed. Still kept it short though on a wee loop round Craiglockhart
Monday Nov 1, 2021 #
Strength and Conditioning 45:00 [0]
5x5 Back squat (20, 40, 60 warm-up, 70, 80, 85, 90, 90kg)
4x5 Deadlift (60 warm-up, 80, 90, 100, 100kg)
Legs probably won't be happy with this tomorrow. Grip was going on the 100, and arm/elbow was feeling it a bit. Hopefully will sort itself out though
