Training Log Archive: Lard

FVO SnOw day terrain run from McLaren Leisure up to Bracklin and beyond. Great terrain, tough training, good workout. Glad Rog was suffering so I could have a partner!

Matthew at a party in Callendar. Opportunity to re-run the Wednesday Trail Race route but in snow. Hadn't bargained for Storm Gertrude's efforts - tracks blocked in two sections. Ange was lucky!

Event: Lisbon International Orienteering Meeting
 

Passat in for MOT at D&G Perth - rode into work from there - wind assisted for most of it, North Inch under water so some backtracking done. Out of shape on a bike!

Cycle to get the car - hadn't expected the river Tay to have burst its banks and completely flooded North Inch and more. Extra detouring required.
Car MOT successful!

Down the River Darn Path to do hill intervals up the Rhody path. Sadly my body is too battered from yesterday's race (pulled a groin muscle when sliding on a bend yesterday) so I tried one hill climb - 5:27 and turned it into a recovery run. Knackered.

Trossachs Trail Night Race No.2 at Coilhallan, Callendar.
Banter start from me into serious oxygen debt as my body realised I hadn't warmed up well enough. In pain thereafter. In no man's land for most of the run and just concentrating on pushing hard and not retiring. Snowing into my face meant I couldn't see a thing on the last downhill! Not at all fun at the time but good training. Tracks a bit harder than I was hoping for but hopefully I'm still in one piece and can train tomorrow. Will ran well.

8 x 2/1 with 8 mins warm up and shorter warm down. Hard to get going but enjoyed it once I did. Seriously wet.
