Running 1:40:24 [3] 7.12 mi (14:06 / mi) +715m 10:45 / mi
ahr:150 max:178 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser
We were going to follow the Luss race route and go back up Ben Dubh but neither of us could be bothered in the end and we did the last 2 miles by road.
Felt better than Tuesday's run. Left leg is still a bit sore & awkward so I was pretty slow & careful on the descents.
A bit off on the amount climbed.

Running 59:01 [3] 8.37 mi (7:03 / mi)
ahr:158 max:177 shoes: Adidas Lightsaber Stability M
Wasn't able to do any lunge warm-ups due to my left leg. Could do all the drill warm-ups without pain and running was OK.
Felt creaky and tired throughout; still not fully recovered from Barcelona.

Running 58:41 [3] 7.35 mi (7:59 / mi)
ahr:116 max:138 shoes: Mizuno Synchro MX
Left leg felt sore doing lunge warm-ups. Ran for 5 minutes and then was able to do the lunges more easily. No pain during the run itself, just an awareness that my leg had a slight ache around the calf.
Did 6*stride-outs, leg felt fine for those.

Running 1:00:19 [3] 4.68 mi (12:53 / mi) +432m 10:01 / mi
ahr:143 max:171 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser
First hill run in a while - felt like a bag of tatties; weak, clumsy and tired.

Cycling 1:42:38 [3]
ahr:101 max:122 shoes: Boardman Race Comp 2016
Hyndland > Maryhill > Barnellan > Loop to Baldernock > Strathblane Road. Then reverse route to Glasgow.
Beautiful clear morning but very cold. Misjudged my clothing choice and was freezing by the time I got in to the office; toes & fingers numb.

Running 1:19:12 [3] 9.58 mi (8:16 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Lightsaber Stability M
Tried to avoid slopes as far as possible. It was a struggle going up stairs this morning - did not want to put any weight on my left leg. It felt a bit fragile at first and I was always aware of it throughout the run, but it didn't stop me. Did a lot of mobility work when I got home.
Saturday Mar 24, 2018 #
Hill Walking 5:00:00 [3]
Developed a limp in my left leg on the way up - stepping up or stepping down on steep ground caused a slight pain around my knee/quad area and this made it difficult to put weight on that leg. Was OK on the flat and gentle slope.
Friday Mar 23, 2018 #
Running 56:16 [3] 7.04 mi (8:00 / mi)
ahr:145 max:188 shoes: Mizuno Synchro MX

Running 2:40:29 [3] 26.2 mi (6:08 / mi)
ahr:172 max:193 shoes: Adidas Supernova Sequence 8
Mile Split: 5.56, 6.00, 6.00, 5.55, 6.00, 5.46, 6.00, 5.54, 5.59, 6.02, 5.56, 6.05, 5.57, 5.59, 6.02, 6.04, 5.58, 6.16, 5.59, 5.55, 6.07, 6.18, 6.30, 6.37, 6.28, 6.41 + 2.02.
I had a gel every 20mins and something to drink every 2.5km. Had a few people around me for the first 10km then after that was mostly on my own.
Felt awkward for the first couple of miles though without a warm-up that was probably to be expected. Generally kept a 6.00 mile pace till about mile 22 though there were stretches when we were running in to the wind.
Things started to feel hard about mile 18, just a feeling of general tiredness. Around mile 22 things really got tough; all the energy just drained out of me and my legs felt heavy. The last 2km were a nightmare, on a slight slope, a couple of times spectators tried to high-5 me and I tried, and failed, to raise my hand to do so.
Felt completely wrecked crossing the line; shuffled around for 15 mins to keep the blood flowing. Walking back to the apartment (750m) took an age and the stairs to subway and up to the apartment were a real struggle. After a shower and a bite to eat I sat on a park bench for about 2 hours because I couldn't face standing up.
Easily the hardest race I've ever done; the last 4 miles were much tougher than I'd expected.
Expected to go faster overall but looking at the splits I think I ran a sensible race for the most part.

ahr:162 max:176 shoes: Inov-8 Roclite
Still lots of snow/ice on the ground so going was slow. Decked going round the corner near Inn Deep so kept it slow & steady afterwards. Bumped in to Roddy, Leyre & Outi on the canal.
Did 6*stride-outs by the Clyde.

Running 1:19:23 [3] 9.75 mi (8:09 / mi)
ahr:161 max:173 shoes: Inov-8 Roclite
Ran up to the canal towards Bishopbriggs but gave up before Possil as the snow was too deep. (Met Outi & Ruth on the canal - the had the right idea with x-country skis.) Turned around and went back in to town via Glasgow Green.
