 | Cycle long 3:15:00 [3] | |
| |
| Great morning on a Tour de Pentlands. They look like an innocuous range of hills but some of the recommended cycle routes are tricky, or, occasionally, just boggy. Intensity 1 to 4 at various times. |

| Running 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Only time for a shortish, steady lunchtime run down to Mid Liberton and round the sports pitches. |
Wednesday Jun 18 |
| Circuit training 50:00 [4] | |
| |
| Felt monumentally tired - sort of lack-of-sleep tired rather than physically tired. Anyway, once we got going it wasn't too bad. Upper body strength felt better now that shoulder and rib injuries are subsiding. |
| Circuit training warm up/down 30:00 [2] | |
| |
| Usual warm up/down, but also some biking to and from. Back via the Sheep's Heid for a bit of Rat Race team bonding with Naomi and Mark. |
Tuesday Jun 17 |
| Cycle 1:15:00 [3] | |
| |
| Cycle into work and back, with some backroads on the way home to add interest and take mind off it being uphill into the wind. Up to intensity 4 in places I'm sure. |
Monday Jun 16 |
| Running tempo 50:00 [3] | |
| |
| Well-paced, steady lunchtime run round Blackford, over to Braidburn Park and return. Very enjoyable. |

| Scottish O League at Devilla. Ran early to try to solve the concentration problem, which was fine; but then had the job of battering down the bracken. Apart from one control where the red line obscured key features, had a good run, no more than 2 min errors in total, but slow, and splits suggest I generally slowed down as the race went on. Since I'm pretty fit just now, it is simply that I can't run fast enough over the rough stuff, which was at its worst in the middle third. |
