Training Log Archive: Tullster

First expedition into the Campsies. Started in Strathblane. Tough long climb to begin with up over Sandy Hill and Slackdhu. Going tough most of the way out, soft going with peat hags in places. Expected more paths so close to the Weege! Nice run from there along the ridge over all the tops. Wee pause on Garloch Hill to admire the view over Loch Lomond - very nice:) Picked up a welcome path that took me over Bell Craig, Ballagan Tops and up to Earls Seat - nice panorama from the top there then back home over Little Earl, Owsen Hill, Dumbreck and long downhill back to the road. Enjoyable run. Tiring terrain!

long days:(

Wee trains session with Jess in Mugdock planned by Hollie. Bracken bad in places but still decent forest in others. Good fun. Jess got scared by a dog.

Wee bit training in the Trossachs. So tough! Bracken head high and tussocks/heather waist high at times. Got lost for quite a while in the green bit. Once you got above the bracken line it was sweet. Saw a stag. Not the best min/kms!

Wee run out from the flat in Glasgow. A bit dreich. Past Kelvinhall then down to the Clydside walkway. Ran hard along the side of the Clyde then turned and ran hard back. Took it steady once back once I crossed over the expressway. Feeling the ITB a bit.

Jogging with Jess in Victoria park. Decent place for some intervals.

Wee cycle out through Cambussbarron then along the road to Kippen, ticking along quite nicely there. I suspect there was a bit of tailwind. Then up the hill through Kippen - long slog that - and over the other side into Fintry. More climb than I was expecting on the way back along the side of Carron resevoir. Struggling a bit on some of the hills. Left turn at Carron Bridge back over the hills to Stirling. Good sesh.
