Running - trail (Easy) 28:32 [3] 3.03 mi (9:25 / mi) +417ft 8:20 / mi
slept:5.0
Warmup run before the long hill reps. Took a longer route than last week heading from the car park to the top of cavehill through the quarry then down the fairly technical single track mtb trail to the start of the path that I would be doing the reps on. This trail always (literally!) puts a smile on my face although I questioned my own wisdom a couple of times for having chosen it so close to a goal race as it is quite hairy in places.
Running - trail (Long hill rep) 11:18 [4] 1.2 mi (9:25 / mi) +533ft 6:38 / mi
First long hill rep. This went well and I felt quite strong for the most part. It also felt faster than when I did it last week, not because I was pushing harder but just seemed able to go quicker. That turned out to be correct when I compare with last weeks times on the same rep.
Running - trail (Easy) 9:01 [2] 1.19 mi (7:35 / mi)
Jog back down the hill for rep nr 2
Running - trail (Long hill rep) 11:40 [4] 1.19 mi (9:48 / mi) +533ft 6:53 / mi
Long hill rep nr 2. Found this one tougher as my legs were starting to tire and it became a grind to the finish. Still quicker than both of last weeks reps which hopefully shows good progress.
Running - trail (Easy) 24:21 [2] 2.32 mi (10:30 / mi) +571ft 8:31 / mi
Ran back down the hill then up again in a longer loop to finish off. Plenty more climbing in this portion which I ran in the way I would expect to run the steeper climbs in the fling, ie. just rolling the feet and keeping it really comfortable. Good practice for next weekend. Adding up the total climb for tonight works out at over 2000 feet which isn’t too shabby for a Wednesday evening!
