Sunday Mar 9 |
 | Walk 3:15:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco |
| Pentlands again.
Sun between downpours. Cold wind over the top
Wife in tow for part, so a bit slower, but made it more pleasant than by ones lonesome.
|
 | Run 30:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco |
| Near the end and aproaching twilight /darkness. Lighter load in rucksack at this point made a difference.
Mostly either sheltered from the wind or with wind on my back so fairly pleasant as running accross such terrain goes.
Jumped straight in the car when i got back .... hope i dont regret not stretching. |
Saturday Mar 8 |
 | Note | |
| |
| No time for training on a day like this.
Or does doing stuff in OCAD count as traiining ?
Maybe people in California and elsewhere dont need to know other details of my day !!!!!! |
Friday Mar 7 |
 | Yoga 1:00:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Bare Feet / Socks |
| Bucketing down, drenched to the bone by the time i got tot he gym.
Usual instructor suddenly dissapeared for two months, to India for more study i think. Replacement teacher is quite good (pity bout the tash).
Could almost convince myself that i'm starting to get the hang of moves now. (or at least the basic ones ....should clarify ... what youre supposed to do, not what i'm actually able to do ... lotus is a long way off....)
Decided to jog home in gym gear rather than change into damp jeans etc.

Thursday Mar 6 |
 | Run warm up/down 14:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Brooks Vapour |
| WU Round the block from grassmarket thro west port, along lauriston and down vennel steps back to office (dropped off jacket as it was too warm for it)
WD From top of venell steps east along lauriston, forest road and back into grassmarket. |
 | Run hills (Steps Actually) 12:30 [5] | |
| shoes: Brooks Vapour |
| Felt like i needed a blast rather than do the usual plod around the meadows when i run at lunch time.
more a five than a four really considering the short intensity
Efforts up Vennell steps x10 with jog back down
Slowest 29 secs
Fastest (last) 24 secs
Avg around 27secs
Recovery c 50 secs each |
Wednesday Mar 5 |
 | Note | |

| Hmmm
I notice that a number of contributers on here tend to include even short 20-30 min walks as 'training'.
Surely without walking up the side of a big hill ,Heart Rates would not even climb to 50% never mind the 60% level usually counted as 'base' for cardio.
Think i would probably have something like another 4 hours of 'training' every week if i counted walking to and from work. Then there would also be all that morning stretching that i usually dont bother recording either.
On another note: now that i'm finally back 'training', will have to get round to forming a program, or at least structuring it all somehow ..... eg Pump the day after a race is not too smart.....

Tuesday Mar 4 |
 | Core: Stability/Balance 25:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Bare Feet / Socks |
| Decided to ditch the original plan of running with gym people, in favour of a shorter 'cross-training' session, which allowed me to get home earlier and get more done on CSC courses etc.
X-planks felt particularly difficult tonight for some reason. |
 | Stretching 10:00 [1] | |
| |
| Soreness from Sunday's run nowhere to be found tonight.. great!
(Maybe i didnt run quite fast enough ....) |
Monday Mar 3 |
 | Run 30:00 [3] | |
| ahr:138 max:148 slept:7.0 shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco |
| Legs feeling a bit tired after yesterday so i opted for an easy AM run from the flat rather than go to AM Pump class.... felt much better by the end.... must have cleared a good proportion of the lactic acid etc.
Club social tonight, but will miss that to see David Gray .... i really need to get all my bits of calendars into one place so this kind of clash doesnt happen so often.
