Run from Kingussie up Creag Beagg, then some "downhill" o in Glen Gynack.

Chest a bit tight at first, and hip started giving me trouble again on the uphill. Loosened off after some down, but then my right hip got sore instead.
Bollocks! Lots of stretching needed

Jog avec drills

BASOC event at Achlean.

Struggling a bit with a really tight left hip, couldn't really get moving. Tried stretching it off a bit during the warm-up, but no dice.
Feel like my orienteering is a little rusty at the moment, really hesitant and indecisive on routechoice - clearly need to do some more route to Christmas.

SEDS Christmas Peg Relay at Uath Lochan.

This was a lot of fun, although lunch had not been long before, and it was pretty keen to revisit me.

Hip had loosened off, which was good at least

Tired again, though that was because of seeing the Midnight release of Rogue One... Would recommend.

4x8 Deadlift (70 warm-up, 100, 100, 100, 110kg)

Will probably do some 1RM tests next week before switching to Heavy Squat/Light Deadlift and Light Squat/Heavy Deadlift days, because I feel like the volume in the squats is taking its toll on the DLs

The trouble with lacking the disciple in getting out the house is that it doesn't leave you much time to do any proper exercise.

Quick trot around my circuit in the rain was all I could manage, though it felt surprisingly good considering.

C • Getting out the hoose 1

Pretty rubbish sleep, so feeling a bit run down, as well as getting to the gym a bit late.

Tough today. Everything felt rather heavier than it should have, even on the warm-ups

I'd call this a recovery run, but that implies prior exercise to be recovering from

Out along a wet and busy Old Railway Line till I got to the edge of Pilton, then turned around and plodded home.
Exciting stuff.
