Paris this evening though, and hopefully all the drunk Scots will be leaving by the time I arrive :s | ||

Wednesday Sep 12 | ||
| Cycling 18:12 [2] | |
| ahr:117 max:145 rhr:45 slept:6.0 | ||
| Cycle into work, not much sleep after an aborted attempt at leg waxing. I am officially a rubbish girl. | ||
| Cycling 13:09 [2] | |
| Cycle to the Cameo to see "Paris Je t'aime" with Jesse at the matinee and get in the mood for my trip this weekend. | ||
| Circuits 1:02:00 [3] | |
| ahr:103 max:168 slept:6.0 shoes: Road Sauconys | ||
| Pretty much just got through a warm up for balance and plyometrics stuff as Holly was around and learning the ropes. That was good though, really focus on technique and a bit sore today so must have still been a good work out. Noticed that my abs feel rock hard now. Nice! | ||
| Cycling 17:00 [2] | |
| Further random cycling around town. | ||
Tuesday Sep 11 | ||
| Cycling 17:03 [2] | |

| Cycling 18:28 [2] | |
| ahr:114 max:156 | ||
| Cycle to Meadow for...drum roll...track intervals with the local athletics club! I know, I must be insane. It's about time though. | ||
| Running 9:00 [2] | |
| Warm up before intervals at Meadowbank. | ||
| Intervals 37:05 [5] | |
| ahr:170 max:199 rhr:45 slept:6.75 shoes: Saucony Cohesion | ||
| Track intervals with the Club that used to be City at Meadowbank. I finally bit the bullet and it was far less scary than I anticipated! I've been assigned to the Endurance group who are a friendly bunch, particularly a really nice Belgian girl. Session was 2 x 200, 7 x 600 but with staggered starts so you all finished together, so mine was probably more like 550, then 2 x 200m, jog back to the start for each rest. Times as follows:
0.40 (0.57), 0.40 (1.17), 1.53 (1.34), 1.52 (1.47), 1.54 (1.27), 1.54 (1.21), 1.54 (1.22), 1.53 (1.27), 1.54 (1.17) 0.36 (1.00), 0.35 (8.24) Followed by stretches. Good fun, running with good style, chest slightly tight and no stomach issues. New diet seems to be sorting those out, so yey for that! | ||
| C • new diet? 2 | ||
| C • Track good 1 | ||
| Cycling 13:16 [2] | |
| ahr:153 max:176 | ||
| Cycle back home on the Seat path - surprised with how strong I felt up the hill! Good evening's session! | ||
Monday Sep 10 | ||
| Cycling 15:02 [2] | |
| ahr:116 max:146 rhr:45 slept:7.0 (sick) | ||
| Didn't sleep as well as I'd have liked due to the RAGE of being woken up by freshers screaming outside my window at midnight. Which is bad enough, you say. But oh no, the reason they were shrieking was because they were jumping up and down. Let them jump you say! On MY CAR BONNET! The little s**ts. And they were all girls. You almost expect that from boys, but girls. In heels! RAH!
But anyway, yes, I therefore slept for less than a wanted and didn't go to the gym before work. Cycled in the horrible way and the lights were all in my favour today so it wasn't too bad. | ||
| C • on second thoughts... 4 | ||
| Cycling 19:18 [2] | |
| ahr:106 max:137 | ||
| Cycle back up to George Square for a bit of alpha screen action. | ||
| Strength 46:22 [4] | |
| ahr:109 max:163 shoes: Road Sauconys | ||
| Whew. First weights session in a while and loaded them up as limbs were feeling pretty fresh. Good session, pushed a couple of the moves to failure and enjoyed being back in the gym. Did:
Cleans 35kg 4 x 5 Push press 30kg 4 x 5 Overhead squat 25kg 4 x 5 Pull down thingies 27.5kg 3 x 10 BB Roll outs 3 x 10 Think the old core will be aching tomorrow! | ||
| Cycling 16:34 [2] | |
| ahr:100 max:133 | ||
| Cycle back to the lab. | ||
| Cycling 24:30 [2] | |
| ahr:109 max:148 | ||
| Pretty gentle cycle home the George Street way. By the time I got home at 6.30 I was knackered, still a bit stuffy and really hungry, so decided to miss the recovery run and get some food inside me. Then went to meet Nikki for a good gossip at the Elephant House and some illicit chocolate brownie. Mmm/ | ||
| Cycling 25:00 [1] | |
| Cycling to the Elephant House and then back via the Meadows and Tesco in a slightly circuitous fashion. Now not tired and it's bedtime. Pah. I can hear the Freshers on the move again...if only I had an air rifle... | ||
Sunday Sep 9 | ||
| Orienteering 1:14:00 [4]***** 6.9 km (10:43 / km) +350m 8:33 / km | |
| ahr:177 max:189 spiked:15/20c rhr:44 slept:10.5 (sick) shoes: Shiny silver integrators | ||
| Feeling alright but still slighty bunged in my head today, and decided I couldn't miss the chance to run at Birsemore Hill (or Fungle as it was advertised, which is a far better name!). Beautiful forest with plenty of variation, semi open heathery marshy stuff, intricate plantation, small patches of thick green and a really tough steep rocky slope to finish. Errors:
2-3: Came off the higher boulder but no accurate compass and drifted to the wrong clearing 3-4: Dropped much lower than planned and didn't catch on straight away, and physically really tough the whole way - should have stayed highers in more white stuff 9-10: Was on line till halfway then instead of pushing up the hill dropped down. 14-15: AP too far away and drifted from it, ended up too low and had to retrace steps back up hill 17-18: Really unconfident, trying to go into the green early - no real attack point past marshy re entrant. Mistakes therefore mostly post attack point when wasn't accurate enough on leaving them - need to work on this. Physically felt strong despite a coughing fit on the way to number 13! | ||
Saturday Sep 8 | ||
| Orienteering 56:28 [4]**** 8.1 km (6:58 / km) +160m 6:21 / km | |
| ahr:181 max:195 spiked:16/20c rhr:43 slept:5.0 (sick) shoes: Shiny silver integrators | ||
| Brown course at Crathes. Ran pretty easily but fresh legs must have been moving pretty fast! A few small muddles but nothing major. Had a bit of a coughing fit at one point and slightly tight chest in a couple of spots, but generally feeling alright and really enjoyed the course despite the long run out early on. | ||
