Trail/ Mountain mix (SE) 2:30:00 [3] 25.1 km (5:59 / km) +1221m 4:48 / km
slept:9.0 shoes: Salomon S-Lab Speed
Specific Endurance
This was supposed to only be 2hrs but unintentionally ended up doing an extra 30 mins... (explained below)
Legs feeling a bit sore from yesterday, notably in the hamstrings (bit tight) and left glute. The run consisted of 2 big climbs on some rough technical trail with some undulating forest trails and a bit of boggy heather bashing in between. Ran the first climb with Richard and Hugh, taking it fairly steady as the legs loosened up. They then left me to it and I ran the rest solo, pushing harder on the 2nd big climb, whilst keeping a good steady pace on the undulating trails. Took on a gel after about an hour but that was it. Perhaps should have eaten more.
I'd planned to finish the run at the top gondola station on Aonach Mor (top of 2nd big climb) and get the gondola back down after. Reached the top bang on 2hrs only to find the gondola wasn't running today... rookie error. So had an easy jog back down the mountain to finish instead which added on the extra time. All the climbing was done in the first 2 hours.
Minus the tight hammys and sore glute, legs were generally feeling not too bad all things considered.
