Long/specific run 3:42:00 [2] 42.8 km (5:11 / km) +1023m 4:38 / km
slept:8.5 shoes: Hooka Torrent 2
Good night sleep.
10mins prehab.
Tired from the start - legs a bit stiff and uncomfortable. Got better but then very sluggish and stiff towards the end. Been a while since I last done a similar sort of distance and terrain + running with a "heavy" backpack. That might explain some, but not all I think. Not the best of days.
First 25+ km flat and fast running, then a lump of a climb before a very annoying section from the start of the lake to Rowardennan. Up and down constantly, but never long enough either way to get into a rhtythm, and the incline just annoying. Did not enjoy that bit at all.
Apart from being tired, no other pains or niggles at least.

Moderate run 1:29:00 [3] 20.9 km (4:16 / km) +150m 4:07 / km
slept:8.5 shoes: Saucony Endorphine Pro - Blue
Very good night sleep
10' prehab
Drills + 77' moderate @ avg 3:52 pace.
Legs good - quads more or less normal again. Felt supergood and ended up with a very decent average pace despite it being a very wet and windy morning. Lovely strong headwind for the last third of the run. But didn't mind - was in my zone and in a very good mood. Happy days. No other pains or niggles, felt fresh!

Good night sleep.
10' prehab

Quads a lot better today - the right one more or less normal whilst the left still had a tiny bit of soreness. Eased during the first few km and the diagonals went fine. Felt pretty light and fast actually. Enjoyed the run! No other pains or niggles.

slept:8.5 shoes: Hooka Torrent 2
Another fab night sleep.
Felt fresh and rested when I woke up - really ready for my run. Apart from one thing. My quads were pretty sore from yesterday....haha. No surprise, being the first day in a very long time with any real downhill running. Anyway, legs loosened after the first few km and it was a fab session. Great loop that includes two nice climbs, some tehcnical trails and some very runable and pretty fast gravel roads. Really enjoyed it - another beautiful day in the lakes!
Apart from the sore quads, legs were fine and there were no pains or niggles. Another 3 gels during and a protein shake after run. Good Lakes weekend! Back home for a few days before heading to Scotland for the recce.
