Running 3:00:00 [3] 14.0 km (12:51 / km)

Ran up the ridge to Beinn Sgulaird then steep descent and 5km run flat abck to the car. That is a very compressed version of events but it was a long hill run, so nice to be so close to an amazing choice of hills. A brilliant end to the weekend.

Orienteering 1:16:28 [3] 6.1 km (12:32 / km) +385m 9:32 / km

Lovely course planned by James on AIrds Park. Fairly tough little area - wet and with bracken and marshy grasses etc but otherwise very enjoyable and visible. So good to get back into a no pressure orienteering situation and practise on a quality area.

Orienteering 1:21:42 [3] 8.72 km (9:22 / km) +258m 8:10 / km
ahr:149 max:177

Afternoon exercise at Coille Nathias also planned by James with an oyster and butterfly - lots of fu and we did a mass start as a result. Really enjoyed it again this is why I like orienteering no fuss and just go and do it.

ahr:120 max:157

Started off doing the fartlek session with the group but after 10 minutes my foot was hurting from the forefoot running so took it down and notch and ran steady while everyone else completed the session. It's annoying I feel horrendously slow at the moment and want to do the speed work yet when I do I don't push myself hard enough and my foot begins to hurt.
I think I will build it up a little at a time so will do a similar session on Thursday but see if I can go just a little bit longer.
