Running 47:00 6.0 mi (7:50 / mi)
shoes: 09 Saucony Grid
Run with Mhairi in the lovely sunshine. My HRM is broken and thinks my max heart rate was 137. There's no way that was correct! But it felt like we ran quite fast, and I was tired with sore legs by the end.

Worked till midnight on Friday and then stayed in bed and packed for all of Saturday. Days off are good!

Running 27:00 3.3 mi (8:11 / mi)
ahr:166 max:179 shoes: 09 Saucony Grid
10 mins aero, 5 mins drills - did the ones Sarah showed me the link to and they were good, except for the hamstring flick one where I think I looked like a baby deer trying to stand up. Not a good look. Then 12 mins sub threshold to end. Definitely a bit tired today - malnourished after yesterday's epic mission. Presentation looks great though - fingers crossed it's all good!
Stretching 10:00 [0]
Note
Saving core till tomorrow, for when I have more time and hopefully feel a little more sprightly.

Not intentional, but I have a big presentation to write that I have been putting off too much! No training till it is done! It's getting there actually.
Running 25:00 3.1 mi (8:04 / mi)
ahr:163 max:178 shoes: 09 Saucony Grid
Ended up running after all, as when I finished at 9.30pm there was ages till the next bus. Felt a bit tired on the last hill after a long day hunched at the computer.
Stretching 10:00 [0]
Perfect ten. Very late by now!

Running 24:00 3.2 mi (7:30 / mi)
ahr:163 max:176 shoes: 09 Saucony Grid
Early evening run post macro struggles (damned excel security). They've cleared the verges on a lot of the northern cycle path, so now you can run on sticky grass for most of them, which is good. 5 mins aerobic, 14 mins sub threshold, 5 mins aerobic. Running feels right again. Almost like these short sessions with my mind on technique is just reminding my muscles how to work together again. It's nice.
Core 20:00 [1]
ahr:151 max:152
Core set. Ouch! Tummy hasn't quite recovered from the first set yet!
Stretching 11:00 [0]
ahr:96 max:112
Continuing to be a good girl. How long will it last?!

Running 22:00 3.3 mi (6:40 / mi)
ahr:164 max:187 shoes: 09 Saucony Grid
10 mins aerobic, 6 mins round the small intervals loop with 150-200m strides, then 6 mins aerobic. Strides felt awesome, stretching out properly for the first time in ages. I know it's a tiny amount, but it felt good to feel good whilst running fast.
Stretching 11:00 [0]
Squeezed the perfect ten in before bedtime.

Running 29:30 3.5 mi (8:26 / mi)
ahr:162 max:179 shoes: 09 Saucony Grid
Run to work. Very slow with lots of traffic, but Edinburgh was looking absolutely gorgeous in the early morning sun. Bit slow on some pavements as they were slippy with frost. 5 x 10 second hill "sprints" (hill turned out to be less ideal than I remembered it being) in Inverleith Park, then very slow into the lab.
Core 19:28 [1]
ahr:135 max:162
Core circuit with 20 squats added at the end.
Stretching 10:00 [0]
Fitting in the stretching between experiments. Seem to be already feeling the benefits of these stretches, not in my tiny amount of running but in the lab - my back and shoulders are less tight and sore. Strange as they are leg stretches, but I guess a few of them loosen the lower back too.
