Running 15:33 [3] 3.8 km (4:06 / km)
ahr:157 max:168 shoes: NB 1500

A quick and speedy warm up trying to stay warm and clear out the chest. A bit a of drizzle and some cooler weather not so appreciated on the warm up but quite useful to stay cool when running hard.

Running 17:33 [5] 5.12 km (3:26 / km) +3m 3:25 / km
ahr:168 max:186 shoes: NB 1500

5Km effort and got a new PB of 17:07. Very pleased with that. Wasn't expecting anywhere near that fast but Ali and Dan said yesterday I should aim higher than 17:45 (my original target) so started off hard expecting to fade rapidly. Quite hard to judge pacing with half the loop in tailwind and half in headwind so was pleasantly surprised to look at the watch with 170m to go and see a good pace (I guess running a loop evens it out quite well).

Running 48:11 [2] 9.24 km (5:13 / km) +124m 4:53 / km
ahr:155 max:189 shoes: NB 1500

Back past the flat to grab some layers, an apple and a quick stretch. Then on for a wiggly hermi cool down. Very chuffed to be making some progress with speed at the cost of only 1 intervals per week.

Running 48:52 [2] 8.51 km (5:44 / km) +278m 4:56 / km
ahr:159 max:180 shoes: 1

A little whinny action with Tim, Ali, Matt and Dan. Lovely evening for it. Knee feeling pretty good might try something at a quicker pace tomorrow.

Running 45:59 [2] 8.73 km (5:16 / km) +133m 4:54 / km

Easy with the guys round the killing fields and over crags.

10 AM

Running 2:27:20 [3] 30.2 km (4:53 / km) +278m 4:40 / km
ahr:160 max:179 shoes: 1

Cramond, Corstorphine, Canal loop. Legs feeling fresh after some easy days and no intervals on a Saturday before long run. Surprisingly warm out today but I'm not complaining.
Kept it flat and on paths and knee was fine no pain. Also seems for the time being to have gotten rid of the clicking at the back of the knee.

Saturday Mar 27, 2021 #

Note

Knee is fine on the flat. Going to avoid downhills for a little while, and stay on paths to avoid any little side to side stabilisation movements on terrain which seems to be the only things that cause pain.

7 PM

Running 43:27 [2] 7.93 km (5:29 / km) +118m 5:06 / km
ahr:140 max:153 shoes: 1

Gave the knee a day and a half off. Figured I'd go test how it's doing with Mikey whilst hoping to catch sights of the Calton and castle lights. No lights. Knee is fine on the flat just doesn't like down hill gradients.

Friday Mar 26, 2021 #

Note

Something at the back of the knee is clicking when I bend it fully, then something makes a cracking noise when extending it and the knee cap seems to jolt a little. No pain doing this or putting force through it though. Just little random side to side movements causing pain in the gap of the joint of the outside and a little on the inside. Interesting...

7 AM

Running 34:27 [2] 6.71 km (5:08 / km) +83m 4:50 / km
ahr:149 max:167 shoes: 1

A loop round Blackford with Ali. Something sore with my knee. Can't believe it. I actually for the first time in ages bothered to stretch and roll after my run last night. Conspiracy : small chance physios tell us we need to stretch etc but it's just a way to drum up repeat business?

7 AM

Running 35:19 [2] 6.79 km (5:12 / km) +54m 5:00 / km
ahr:142 max:159 shoes: 1

Quick becoming the usual short morning loop with Tim, Ali and Sasha. Aston house has got a second Aston. Love a gpx file.

6 PM

Running 1:00:24 [4] 14.95 km (4:02 / km)
shoes: NB 1500

Intervals down the cycle path and the little triangle down at the far end. 3x8mins @~3:50 (2) then 3x4mins @~3:35 I'm guessing (1). Regret mentioning Sasha's gpx file joke from this morning because as it turns out I don't love a gpx file. Was all over the place for the last 3 and a bit reps. Found Wtracks quite useful trying to fix it but in the end I couldn't be bothered as it's was so many points all over the place.

7 PM

Running 25:18 [2] 4.92 km (5:08 / km) +122m 4:34 / km
ahr:151 max:160 shoes: NB 1500

Reset the watch and jogged back. Some very cool lights shining across the sky from the castle into the distance.

Running 1:53:22 [2] 22.09 km (5:08 / km) +359m 4:45 / km
ahr:159 max:196 shoes: Orange ones

Nice evening for a Craigmillar Braids loop. Great to be back. Made it a good way round before it got dark and rainy.
Had a strange super high HR spike the other day on an easy downhill, but it was a one off so didn't think much about it. Happened again today. Interesting.

Tuesday Mar 23, 2021 #

6 PM

Running 45:57 [3] 10.4 km (4:25 / km) +121m 4:11 / km
ahr:163 max:185 shoes: NB 1500

The usual nice city loop going steady with an bit of effort up the mile to get the HR up. Have missed Calton, need to visit more often.

7 AM

Running 32:17 [2] 6.45 km (5:00 / km) +83m 4:42 / km

2 PM

Running 2:35:53 [2] 30.03 km (5:11 / km) +610m 4:43 / km
ahr:159 max:192 shoes: 1

Savouring the nice weather and a longer one on a Sunday. Did the near pentland hills, past the two small reservoirs and back on the WoL/canal. Started with dead legs from yesterday and finished with tired legs but the bit in the middle was very enjoyable. Finished with a little loop to get an ice cream. A great run, favourite in a while, but did wish I took a little water towards the end in the heat.

Running 1:03:20 [4] 16.13 km (3:56 / km) +61m 3:51 / km
ahr:170 max:183 shoes: NB 1500

Intervals. Went passed the meadows but it was horribly busy so went back to the cycle path. 4x6mins (2mins) plus 3x3mins (1min). Felt quite nice and was enjoying the longer ones. Almost had a little stomach issue on the 3s. False alarm on the first rep but abandoned the 4th 3min for a cautious jog back.

Running 16:07 [2] 3.42 km (4:43 / km) +45m 4:25 / km
ahr:155 max:162 shoes: NB 1500

A cautious but successful jog back. Great stuff.

ahr:165 max:187 shoes: Orange ones

Sunset seat climbing with Tim, Ali, Dan and Matt. Nice long breaks watching the sunset and some steep climbs. Matt showed me the skegg segment and almost lost his front teeth decking it onto the rocks.

ahr:159 max:177 shoes: Orange ones

Tired legs after yesterday so putting in a little effort to plod round today. Made a new loop I hadn't done before inspired by Sashas wonder path we came down the other day. Pentlands quite muddy and rainy today but still very enjoyable.

Running 37:20 [2] 7.51 km (4:58 / km) +83m 4:43 / km

Running 1:04:40 [4] 15.68 km (4:07 / km) +98m 4:00 / km
ahr:157 max:180 shoes: NB 1500

Went down the cycleway for intervals tonight. 3x7mins (1.5mins) plus 3x2mins (1min). Was feeling quite nice and strong on the way out then turned around to find the third 7 was slightly uphill hence why the others felt so nice. Nice tired legs for the 2s. All in all pretty nice stuff although not sure I did my watch tight enough as HR seemed low to the effort put in.

An unusual PFH route with Tim, Ali and Sasha. Some very nice path selection and got shown a new path by Sasha. Might have to incorporate it into something this weekend. Also got shown a hanging site on the way back.

Legs somewhat fixed. Up the seat and 1MFD with Dan. Bumped into Tom for another MFD and to the saddle. Crags and Whinny loop and another 2xMFD bumping into Stanwix for the next Crags and Whinny loop and another MFD. Torched died completely so got the phone out for a last solo MFD. Back via Sainsburys for a Frijj and some cookies. Enjoyable stuff but legs pretty dead now I think.

ahr:164 max:185 shoes: Orange ones

Cycle out to the bottom carpark. My first skyline. Pretty nice weather for it - much warmer than I was expecting. Left a layer by the bike and by the far side it was T-Shirt weather the whole way back. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Wished I left a water bottle at the bike. Had a nice cream egg before the cycle back.

Meadows lap with Tim then solo seat lap. Amazing sunset turning the sky really red and a perfect red ball just touching the horizon as I was going up round the seat. Saw the otter for the first time in a while and the rambling water bottle Viking guy on the killing fields. Lovely evening run.
