| ahr:145 max:161 shoes: Integrators |
| Run to the Seat and some strides before short Foxdal session. |
| Intervals 20:00 [4] | |
| ahr:175 max:187 shoes: Integrators |
| 10 sets of 90x30 Foxdals. Couldn't manage to get it up to a maximal effort, and was feeling all weird and detached thanks to the huge amounts of coffee needed to keep me awake through neuroscience day. What is it that means I can't stay awake throughout a day of lectures even if they're really interesting? I was doing well until the final one which was awful awful. Anyways, did some Foxdals on Whinny Hill by myself in the dark. It all felt a bit funny. |
| Recovery 14:50 [3] | |
| ahr:141 max:166 |
| Run back home from Whinny Hill. |

| Cycling to work, to the gym and back. All of Edinburgh is road works. IT's rubbish. |

| ahr:123 max:167 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Woah, beasting runners session today. Lots of upper body core dynamic stuff, press up bouncing down ladders in crazy hopscotch with your hands combos - ultra difficult and really pulse raising! Feeling the pain in bizarre places today, like my arm pits! Surely there's no muscle actually there to hurt! Good fun though, I love this session. |
Tuesday Mar 4 |
| Cycling 43:36 [2] | |
| ahr:122 max:158 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Cycling into work and back - Shandwick place is all cut off and have yet to find the optimal route anywhere without it. Boo! |
| Warm up & strides 18:35 [3] | |
| ahr:137 max:163 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Warm up and strides before intervals. |
| Intervals 8:22 [5]2.8 km (2:59 / km) | |
| ahr:176 max:191 slept:7.0 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Work up intervals session suggested by Kitch after my feeling generally dreadful everywhere last week. Everyone else was doing 5 x 1000m which I couldn't face, so started with them and did 400, 600, 800, skipped number four then desperately tried to hang onto Hannah for the full km on number 5. She gets so much quicker every time! Times were better and felt stiff but so much better than last week, just kind of tired rather than really shite. Times were:
1.17 (3.49), 2.00 (3.08), 2.38 (7.56), 3.27 |
| Recovery 38:25 [2] | |
| ahr:136 max:178 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Rest between reps and the usual run home with Kir. |
Monday Mar 3 |
| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| Walked a long way with a heavy bag to the airport having missed the bus due to fussing from B & B owner and when I finally reached Edinburgh wanted nothing more than to defuzz my legs and go to bed. Mmm... |
Sunday Mar 2 |
| Recovery 30:24 [2] | |
| ahr:139 max:148 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Rubbish recovery run in Pisa - tried to get to the sea but there was only a main road to run on because of the Italians and their ridiculous division of every tiny space of land, lots of fences and dogs and no paths. Legs felt a bit better though, so that was good. |
Saturday Mar 1 |
| Warm up & strides 15:00 [3] | |
| ahr:141 max:164 shoes: Integrators |
| Warm up before the middle - thought stomach was going to be okay. |
| Orienteering 32:50 [4]*** 4.6 km (7:08 / km) | |
| ahr:181 max:193 spiked:7/13c shoes: Integrators |
| But was sadly wrong - stomach was dreadful and just concentrate at all. The area was rubbish, totally flat with a few paths and lots of random veg, and you needed to be really accurate with compass and attack points, and I totally wasn't. I retired in my head three times, actually starting to walk back on the way to number 7 then changing my mind and carrying on - the walk settled my stomach a little and the end was a little better. Thoroughly depressing again - I was really fed up. |
