 | Run 25:00 [3] | |
| ahr:156 max:192 slept:8.5 shoes: Brooks Vapour |
| To Holyrood Park (from Dondonald St) and up to the saddle at the top of the middle valley .. must find out what that valley is called sometime....
(HR info for complete 65mins session) |
 | Orienteering 20:00 [4] *** | |
| shoes: Brooks Vapour |
| Run round the (squigly) line course i have planned for O-Training next Thursday.
Took a wee bit of concentration alright as i'd forgotten a fair bit of it since doing the planning (nearly 4 weeks ago). After a brief lapse in concentration at one point i doubted myself about the re-entrant i was entering; I went back a bit only to find i was right in the first place.
That session should be a really good tester, even for the really good folk .... cos it wil be night when we will be doing the session afterall. Probably one to send folk out in larger groups than usual.
Just hope i can get out of work in enough time to put out some random controls.

| Absolutely 'legged' it down the middle valley. Lots of concentration required picking footfall between the stones. Great feeling, like dicing with danger. Kept the speed going accross the playing fields and then slowed down to a slower run for the rest of the journey home.
Managed a spike of 192bpm heart rate near the bottom of that hill .... funny, cos my theoretical max is 190, and i had a wee bit left in me physically .... sounds like an 800m doubler test might be required sometime to get a better picture of my real max HR |
 | Stretching 10:00 [1] | |

| 5 mins either side of the composite run. |
Friday Nov 23 |
 | 'Alternative' Training 1:30:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco |
| Managed to finally get that big planning application in and registered today(at long last). Really felt like having a night on the town for that .. but decided to do the sensible thing instead... again
The skip finally arrived today after eventually getting the 'frickin' permit sorted. So my evening revolved primarily around carrying timber, bags of rubble, our old hot water and cold water tanks, bath and several crappy (hollowcore) doors more than 50m up the street to the (closest place we could get the) skip.
if this lark keeps up i'll end up with the forearms and biceps of a 'worlds strongest man' contestant.... not a look that would suit me, I think. |
Thursday Nov 22 |
 | Cycle 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Cycling up and down Hanover and Dundas etc half the day to/from work to meet various folk at the flat. ...... why are so few builder types able to show up on time anywhere ???? |
Wednesday Nov 21 |
 | Note | |
| |
| The Pro's finally started on the flat today.
Met some in the morn and more after work.
Two plumbers in the evening worked like something out of a cartoon. One in kitchen, other in the bathroom. Lots of banging and squeeking noises, things flying out each door , and before we knew it we had no bathroom nor no kitchen ...... how to devalue your huus in one hour flat!
Damp proofers start tomorrow......
me thinks that getting time for training is indeed going to be difficult for the next while..... |
Tuesday Nov 20 |
 | Run 21:30 [3] | |
| shoes: Brooks Vapour |
| Went to tile shop in Leith first thing. Decisions made very quickly.
Jog from there to work. Had expected it to take a wee bit longer as i had bag on my back and Hr set to 65%. max. (got to about 170 going up the steps at the mound)
Looking forward, it seems like i am heading into another one of those weeks where training will be a bit on the low side. grrrrrr |
