final rock climbing session with marina. so sad :(

Final Bastille run with dad before the sun set!

Sad to be leaving Grenoble of course but lovely to end with exactly what I started with... and with the other most important man in my life haha.

Anyway felt strong and according to Strava my fastest Bastille climb to date out of the entire time of me being there. That’s all ya want really isn’t it.

Au revoir xx

wee evening session toute seule. second to last run here in a grenoble. while my room gets packed into bags I’m thinking about how far I’ve come in the last year, particularly being out in France. My running is on the up again, I’m happy and healthy and generally feeling good about a lot of things.

BUCS XC is my next real thing I’m aiming for but it’ll be what it’ll be. So with this in mind and thinking that I had actually ought to get some sort of structure to my training again I set out for intervals.

4 x 4 mins i ended up doing in the end. Felt comfortable- didn’t push excessively. Think I could go faster back at home etc / with others. Will try a similar session on Tues and hope for the best.

Hitting around 4.23s - this is parkrun pace so good that it felt comfy. Time to start upping it a bit!

wow legs didn’t work this morning!

easy one before a day of skiing :)

Quick blast around the park. Feeling so so so much better than I did this morning.

some inclined climbs today were on the menu for marina and I. Still on the yellow level climbs but trying the harder mathsy ones that make you think a bit. Lots of dynamic jumping and trying desperately to grab onto the next bit but alas, my arms were so DOMSy from yesterday we called it a day early haha.

after a fairly shite morning exam, Marina asked whether I fancied going climbing with her at a place nearby. Yeah ok why the hell not.

Spent ages trying to perfect this one route up the wall! It’s well hard and my arms are still shaking.
Managed the 4c-4a level walls but watching these lads throw themselves over under up down hanging on by a thread hahaha so mad and such hard work.
Decent upper body work out. Would defos be keen to do more of that!

Bastille run as per usual. Some beaut views and a bit of rain. Don’t feel spent after as well. Good news.

Easy run with 10 x 150 at the end. Nice wee run to say goodbye to my running pals out here in France.

easy dinton lap slightly modified due to a closed path. decent chat with Adrian on his bike.

note. leaving for France again tomorrow. excited but ready to have a bit of a break from international travel. in contact with Spain today. the three kings haven’t quite brought me any news yet. sad.

gym ting to avoid revision. what a classic.
