 | Gym 35:00 [2]5 km (7:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 |
| Dreadful gym session. Still feeling tired after the weekend - and just generally tired and off form. Not really up for it at all. Aimed to do some hard intervals on the treadmill but gave up half way through the second. |
Tuesday Jan 29 |
| Running 47:11 [3]5.24 mi (9:00 / mi) | |
| shoes: Mudroc 290 |
| Still a bit tired after the long weekend runs - legs still feeling a bit achey. Fairly good run nevertheless in new Mudroc 290's. They felt great after the disappointments of the last 2 pairs of shoes. |

| Sosol in Holyrood Park. Another really tough race with long hard climbs. Bad start on Control 1 - it was difficult but didn't take enough time to work my way methodically to it. Navigation generally OK. Probably could have pushed the running a little harder although feet beginning to blister on the heels from about control 19 onwards. |

| Edinburgh Street Race. Fabulous course all around the old town. Annoyed to be disqualified with a far from obvious road crossing being oob. Oh well - wasn't terribly fast anyway. |
| Running 25:00 [1]2.5 mi (10:00 / mi) | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 |
| Run to and from Holyrood Park for the Street O. |

| ahr:157 max:171 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 |
| Tried out an iTunes workout - an interval run with Serena Williams. It definitely worked and helped push the pace and effort levels along very considerably. I've never sworn at a lady so much in my life before! She just wouldn't stop pushing. |

| Arthurs Seat route. 2nd best time ever - just missed by a handful of seconds. Didn't feel fantastically strong but kept up a good steady pace throughout. Very pleased with the time as I haven't felt very fast of late. |
Saturday Jan 19 |
| Hill Walking 1:25:00 [1]5 km (17:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw O 330 |

| Running intervals 47:47 [4]6 km (7:58 / km) | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 |
| Meadows Intervals - after several weeks of very slow intervals I was delighted to get round the first laps in 3 m 57. It was a real killer through and really need the competition of other runners at my neck to push me along. I did 3 shorter laps and then a final lap of 4 m 09. Not great form but certainly an improvement. Must get more regular at the Meadows or other runs where my pace is pushed. |
Sunday Jan 13 |
| Running 1:25:00 [2]9.44 mi (9:00 / mi) | |

Saturday Jan 12 |
| Orienteering race 30:00 [3]*** 600 km (3 / km) | |
| spiked:13/13c |
| CATI O at Mortonhall. Decent run with one very bad mistake. Tough wee area to get to grips with a 1 in 10000 map. |
Wednesday Jan 9 |
| Running 52:08 [2]6.0 mi (8:41 / mi) | |
