Circuit training 50:00 [4]

Worked through initial stiffness and then wasn't too bad. Increased weights a bit this week. Hot and sweaty. Rest day tomorrow.

Circuit training warm up/down 15:00 [1]

Not sure I'd call this training but it did require a bit of effort. Stob Dearg by North Buttress direct (scramble/v.diff), back down tourist track with a bit of scree running. No views with cloud down to 600m but v. nice to get back on the hills.

Running 40:00 [3]

Tried out favourite run from KB - hill fartlek essentially. A bit down on normal times (38-39 min) but felt quite strong.

Cycle 55:00 [2]

Steady ride round country roads and tracks around Penicuik. Felt fine. Just about recovered and getting back to regular training.

Running 32:00 [3]

Brisk walks Thursday and Friday, 45 min each. First serious run today since RR, shuttle running in Lowry's Den woods - firm out, jog back. Felt pretty good.

Circuit training 50:00 [3]

Really sweaty evening in the gym. Took it easy again this time round, using light weights, but beasted the pressups and dips. Still some soreness in quads made me back off on telemarks and squats. I'm convinced it was the spacehopper thing on Saturday evening that went for the quads.

Swimming 30:00 [2]

Recovering from RR at the weekend. Walk for 45min yesterday, 30min in the pool today. Feeling pretty good considering.

Cycle race (Edinburgh Rat Race) 8:26:00 [5]

Bit of running, bit of climbing and abseiling, bit of kayaking, bit of orienteering and a lot of cycling and sore muscles. Naomi aced on the cycle skills, Mark on the kayaking and climbing, and me the orienteering. Great team; great fun. 29th overall.

Running race (Edinburgh Rat Race) 2:30:00 [4]

Mean Streets prologue. Naomi loved the BMX bikes, Mark was an awesome route-planner and I lost two eyebrows. 36th overnight.

Cycle 3:15:00 [3]

Long loop round Abernethy Forest followed by short loop in Rothiemurchus. Nothing very technical, just a nice CC ride.

Running 55:00 [3]

Another steady run on roads to toughen up the legs. Had planned something quite flat after circuits last night but ended up with some hills. Struggled round. Still working off the two days of sumptuous catering at the beginning of the week I suspect.

Circuit training 50:00 [4]

Conferences are fun but play havoc with training. Back to routine at the circuits class.
