Training Log Archive: theway

Perfectly lovely bit of exercise on black mountain, cool and overcast with springy soggy trails. Did some exploring with no particular plan. parked at substation. Up bot gdns FT, over road, down hill to find the New Path. Followed it down hill to No Entry sign (at least I assume that's what it said on the other side. Then I u-turned and followed the path all the way to the grand new lake viewing platform. There is some elaborate rock work along here. The platform is nearly finished but it doesn't look like the track is going to go further.

I continued on the old ST to pushbike hill, contoured around a bit further and ascended along the very rocky spur. Some pretty outcrops along here and I've always wanted to explore it. You can see this ridge line from the bridge on circum. Crossed the road, up the track to end of carpark, more track to top of blackie for water. Down to circum where I did a lap and a bit of drills and running which felt a tiny bit sore because I'd already walked a lot. Not too bad though and the running felt coordinated and I'm defo a bit fitter for it.

Down to car in the fading light. Really enjoyed being in some new parts of blackie and I can't wait to take friends along the new track when it's finished.

The various running bits.
