Running 1:28:09 17.46 km (5:03 / km) +400m 4:32 / km
ahr:136 max:165

Running in the valley today, to try to save some climb on the Achilles. Slightly more sore at the start (2-3) but quickly eased off and didn't notice it after about 10 minutes (0-1). A bit of an ache afterwards and intermittently through the afternoon/evening (2-3). Slightly more than it has been so need to ease back, keep on the stretching/mobility and ice. Happy with how it's been though and today was good fun again

Run up Ben Vrackie with Anwen and then a loop on my own. Achilles felt fine throughout. 1-2 on the early climb but fading. 0-1 intermittently for the rest of the run and in the evening.

Much fun.

Tentsmuir with 10 mins tempo, 3 x 20s and 1 x 40s hard. Achilles felt good: 1-2 in the ten minutes after the tempo, but not bad whilst actually running fast. Tempo actually felt ok running wise, but the faster strides felt very awkward and out of practice.

Running 1:07:55 12.01 km (5:39 / km) +439m 4:47 / km
ahr:130 max:158

I ran from Callandar on my way home from a day in Glasgow. Route didn't work out, forestry work meant I couldn't run the loop I had planned, but went out and back along the river and a bit up the hill which was ok.

During the run the Achilles was fine for the most part, with a couple of intermittent aches on prolonged uphills: 1-3. Bit of an ache afterwards, in the evening and morning after: 0-1. Probably didn't give it the best chance as I was on my feet or driving the whole of the day up until the run.

12 PM

Running 1:00:50 13.5 km (4:30 / km) +91m 4:22 / km
ahr:127 max:146 shoes: Green Peg 1

A bit longer than I had planned but I was feeling good and enjoying being out. Mostly off road and rolling hills.

Nothing at all from the Achilles in the first half: 0, a couple of intermittent aches in the second half, but nothing that was particularly stronger than the aches from the gym and spin: 1-2. Nothing after: 0.

7 AM

Strength and Conditioning 42:01
ahr:93 max:145

Bar warm up
3 x {Deadlift @ 60 x 8, Press up x 8}
3 x {OH step up 0, 10, 10 x 8 L+R, BB shoulder press @ 10 x 8}
2 x {Dead bug x 8 L+R, Bird dog x 8 L+R}

Achilles tests:
Calf raises x 25:
No pain, but didn't go much below horizontal. After 25 I could probably have done more on the right but left was at its limit.
Double leg bounds 3 x 60:
No pain.
Next test is 3 x 30 single leg bounds but, despite coming through the first two fine, I didn't want to do these straight after. Positive signs.

Achilles seems to be improving again which is nice, but I'm cautious of doing too much and setting myself back again. Motivation is starting to come back as well, after a couple of weeks of being quite unmotivated with it all..

Spinning class.
I have now learned not to 'give it everything' the first time the instructor says to - he will say it a lot more before the end. This also applies to 'add another turn'.
