Decided to go with the haries this afternoon for their Braids recce run. Wanted some decent chat primarily.
cycled out to Kings with Eilidh then ran from there, 1 big lap and one lap cutting back across the golf course. The first hill (from the start of the XC loop was actually fine today... didn't feel bad at all!) had me feeling relatively strong, then up round the following... beginning to feel it a wee bit. Then, the final few twists and turns uphill towards the very top were a bit tough. Difference, however, was that at the brow of the hill, where my legs would usually just pretty much stop, I could keep powering off the top and actually gain speed again. Woop.
I waited for Eilidh to come round with Linette, then her and I went for the second time. The hills this time felt easier! Certainly an abnormal feeling!
It wasnt even that slow today, (the climb adjust feature is a good confidence boost) and I didnt want to stop! Tomorrow I will gym and track.
I've been also thinking about consolidating a list of goals for my running, which may help to focus my training. Not just may, certainly will. Indubitably.
