Drove up to the car park above Larne which intersects the Antrim Hills Way. Opened the car door which nearly flew off its hinges and thought what have I done. Got back in the car to try to think of somewhere more sheltered I could go to but thought fuck it I’m here so let’s just get this done. Not sure how wise that was as I have never run in wind like this before. It was incessant and at times I had to cover my mouth with my hand so I could actually breathe as the wind was that strong. Made the run fairly unpleasant, the way out wasn’t quite so bad but the way back was horrendous, particularly when climbing into it. At one point had to walk for a while. Decided not to do the full 2 hours and headed home to use the treadmill for half an hour.

Wind aside, my legs felt quite dead from last nights session.

Forecast looks similar for tomorrow so not looking forward to 4 hours in it. Will try to find somewhere more sheltered compared to today which is a really exposed location.
