 | Running 47:02 [3] | |
| slept:3.0 shoes: Inov8 |
| Long day travelling with an early start after late to bed - flight to Heathrow, across London, train to Sheffield. Got out in the dark up the valley for a bit, took it nice and easy as tired but felt okay once I got going.

| (rest day) |
| Planned a rest day as due to be travelling - even though not travelling then still pleased to take one as it was freezing today! |
Thursday Jan 31 |
| Intervals hills 25:00 [5] | |
| shoes: new Brooks Adrenaline |
| Just the three of us for hills tonight - me, Rosco and Jack. Maybe not that surprising given the snow and hail earlier along with the high winds and travel chaos - we were lucky and it was only drizzle by 6pm.
Did 5 x 2min30sec up from Ballengeich - wasn't quite sure how hard I was pushing to start with but went slightly further each time so trying hard by the end for sure. Briefly tried to stay with Ross on the last one but no chance - Jack put in a good set and was giving me a run for my money each time as well.

| Running warm up/down 29:00 [2] | |
| shoes: new Brooks Adrenaline |
| Warm up and down along the tracks below castle - maybe should have done slightly more beforehand given how cold it was.
|
| Note | |
| |
| Have pain in underside of my left foot - could be early warning signs of another bout of plantar fasciitis so need to get out frozen water bottle for rolling under my foot - funnily enough I have one ready in freezer just in case! Pain is not very localised at present so hopefully early treatment will stop anything worse. Have stepped volume up quite a lot lately plus not wearing orthotics as much - will be careful for a week or two and see what develops - now would not be a good time to get injured..

Wednesday Jan 30 |
| Running 1:10:01 [3] | |
| shoes: new Brooks Adrenaline |
| FVO headtorch run - 5 of us to start with, Ali and Beccy came halfway up Dumyat then headed left and back round the road, Rosco and Roger and me bagged the summit then struggled back off it as we suddenly discovered how strong the wind behind us on the way up had been...
A bit slippery in trainers but not too bad apart from a couple of the steepest bits. And hopefully the girls forgave me for finding themselves on a longer hillier route than they expected!

Tuesday Jan 29 |
| Intervals intervals 30:00 [5] | |
| shoes: new Brooks Adrenaline |
| FVO intervals with Ochils again - 24 x 45secs on / 15 secs recovery. Plus 3 x 6secs sprints at the end of course!
Hadn't felt too great during the day again but trusted to the fresh air sorting me out - felt pretty good during the intervals and maybe could have pushed a little bit harder. 3km time trial next week will be interesting, will not be happy if I haven't improved since we did the one in Lanzarote.

| Fitball 1:15:00 [1] | |
| |
| Not feeling too great so settled for some work on the luxury silver fitball rather than going for a run, hopefully okay for intervals tomorrow though. |

Sunday Jan 27 |
| Running 38:45 [3] | |
| shoes: new Brooks Adrenaline |
| Tired legs all day wandering round Turner exhibition and Dynamic Earth, thought I had better go for a run to ease them off a bit once I got home.
Enjoyed it but got stopped by the police who seemed to be staking out a bit of woodland near Watson House and had closed the access road up to it. I think my headtorch weaving through the trees towards them was a bit of a surprise to them too!
