Walking 25:50 [3]
Up hill training with 2.5kg pack on blackie, pushed the second one harder until I was taking less than 3 steps per breath. Felt good to push hard and I am truly amazed how much difference an extra 2.5kg in weight makes - could feel it in my legs.
13:30 and 12:20 for BGFT gate via SQ track. Decided against a third so that I wouldn't have porridge brain when performing later that night (had to remember my lines). Did some work on my moldavian grandma - seems to be coming back to me.
Down hills were walk, preserving legs. I just have to stay uninjured for 4Peaks, I'm not really going to get any fitter. Exchanged a "Good morning" with another runner, then we both realised it was 1:15 in the afternoon and corrected.
An hour later I suddenly realised that I had not felt my L achillies AT ALL! Very pleased then remembered that there was NO running, that could be the reason. Still I do feel that it gets stronger each day and I'm doing calf raising exercises most days when I think of it ( I just leave the block on the floor)
