| shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Lots of madfilled cycling around town, particularly up to Colinton to help Doug run an orienteering session for about 70 international school teenagers. It was a surprising success, mostly due to a huge amount of work on Doug's behalf. Dunno if it's hayfever or not but feel sore throaty and headachey amd so decided not to run. Was exhausted by the time I finally made it home at 10ish! |

| Core circuit in the gym, 7.5kg for everything, good to see Bish back! Apparently I am looking streamlined, which is a good thing! |

| Recovery 27:46 [3]3.7 mi (7:30 / mi) | |
| ahr:157 max:174 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Quick run mid experiment in the afternoon sunshine. Pretty warm and my heart rate wasn't really budging that much - only went over 170 going up the Steps from the Dean Path. So nice to be out in the warm though! |

| Banter round Flotterstone with Mhairi pre hill race organisation malarky. Good gossip and a fair pace - so good to run with somebody at last! I am so wobbly in terrain these days! |

| Jog to the start of my fartlek session along the horrible smelly road. |
| Intervals 40:00 [5]5.0 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| ahr:176 max:187 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Wasn't inspired with the old x time 1 mile ad nauseum so went for a fartlek session. Didn't allow HR to drop below 175 at all, and my god it was tough. Tackled some sizable hills in Costorphine and by the last ten minutes my legs were screaming even on the roads. Tough session, good fun! |
| Recovery 10:01 [2]1.0 mi (10:01 / mi) | |
| ahr:135 max:160 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Hobble back to the lab - really surprisingly tough session! Guess 20 miles in my legs is probably the reason why! |

| Cycle back to meet Rob for coffee. |

| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| Last night Rob decided to have a major fight in his sleep, and after being punched and kicked and woken up by him staring at the ceiling dripping with sweat, I went to sleep on the sofa! He has no memory of any of it this morning and couldn't understand why I was in the living room! As a consequence I am ridiculously tired today and feeling a little spaced - intervals will wait until tomorrow. |
Sunday Jul 20 |
| Orienteering 36:43 [3]3.0 mi (12:13 / mi) | |
| ahr:164 max:181 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Running to the Seat from home carrying lunch and stakes and flags etc, having had to be locked out of my flat by Rob to leave the WOC relays online coverage, then hung a couple of Rat Race Controls just below the summit and on Whinny Hill. Broon was sending me radio control text updates, and on the final one I think I yelped like a woman possessed and punched the air whilst running up a very steep hill. People up there steered well clear of me after that! Incredible news! |
| Running 30:29 [3]3.0 mi (10:09 / mi) | |
| ahr:158 max:178 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Collect in the controls then run home after six hours of freezing. |

| slept:4.0 (rest day) |
| Oops. I went out dancing with Mhairi after my 20 mile run, expecting to sleep all day until Rob got back from Hungary. I ended up being totally awake at 7, no hangover head, slightly unsettled stomach, but fine! Legs not even that stiff. Bonkers. And dancing was hella fun. |
