ELO SOSOL Binning Wood, Blue Course (6.8 km) in 56.11. Steady effort on a damp day with heavy legs after yesterday and a big mistake (approximately 3 minutes?) hacking through and around various patches of green at number 3. Knee quite sore by the end.

Kirkcaldy parkrun #154 in 27.26. Steady jog round the "two and an extra bit" lap course on a damp morning as a warm up for the Devil's Burdens Relay. Knee not 100%.

Gentle warm up before the parkrun.

Leg 3 (11.5 km, 420 m) of the Devil's Burdens Relay for CLYDE with Ty in 76:27. Brutal climb at the start then a very strong side wind getting to the first checkpoint before running across the tops to the eastern side of West Lomond before a final 5 k gently downhill to the finish. Knee held up better than I expected, but I'll be interested to see what it feels like tomorrow morning!

Rest day. Still surprisingly stiff after Wednesday's circuits!

CLYDE Terrain Run. 356 Trig anticlockwise returning via the bunker with Dave, Ty and Alice in 54.31 on a relatively mild evening with very wet conditions underfoot after all the recent snow. Knee still not quite right.

Garscube Strength and Conditioning for the first time this year: 3 x circuits (30 seconds per station), plus warm up, warm down, and the dreaded "clams" exercise. A bit stiff and sore the next morning.

Garscube intervals at the track. First interval session of the year. Warm up (10 mins), 8 x 800 m in between 3:29 and 3:33 feeling okay right to the end (gradually moving through the pack as the others faded), and warm down (4 mins). Knee better than expected after it warmed up. Session 55:58.

Rest - knee rather battered and bruised.
