Training Log Archive: Tullster

Another sunny day in Stirling:) After looking at the jukola results and inspired by younger bro's 14th on long night headed out for a long run. Set off in the heat of the day with some go powder and sultanas for fuel. Ran through Polamise then over all three Sauchie Crags. Really like that route. Then down the far side to the road, turned right then off into the hills up the Bannock burn. Had my first stop for here. Chewed down some go powder with bannock burn water. Carried on up, nice breeze keeping me cool. Over one top then north across the road tothe top of Earls hill (lots of masts on the top of it.) From here the next chunk was all tussocks and heather with nae paths. tough going! down the other side to earlsburn resevoir no. 2 (wee refuel here) then up to resevoir no.1. On from here back toward Stilring over the hills. Tough slog to begin with then down the hill to the southmost Touch resevoir. From here onto some nicer ground then cut through a wee bit of wood joining the road at some houses below the water plant. Down through the fields then along the road. By this point I was shattered and the last bit of road run was a battle. Back home through cammbusbarron then collapse! water/juice/chocolate milk with ice cream floater to refuel:) job done!

Cycle with Stirling Road club. Cracking day for it, pretty breezy though. First half of the ride was mostly into a head/cross wind which was pretty tough especially doing a spell at the front. Route was Dunblane-Brace-Comrie moor-Comrie-Crieff-Auchterarder-Blackford-Sherifmuir-Corrieris. Nice route. Except the last wee downhill to Bridge of Allan - crazy steep bad road and almost dark in the trees. scary!
felt ok today and rode mostly towards the front. Now have a cyclists tan:) ok...it's actually a burn.

Finished at 5 tonight so earlier run. Hot! Felt like a sack of shite so didn't run for that long. Polmaise wood and a lap of Kings park.

Don't normal put social cycling in the training diary...but it's getting desperate!...and I was on the road bike and goin a decent pace. Cycle to Lauren and Chris' in Bridge of Allan for the football. England were dire.

Run at night after work. Tired and with a headache but nice to be out. Round Polmaise wood. Felt unfit!

back to long takes at work. 8-8.30. bummer! planned to go for a run tonight but nightmare evening so didn't manage.
