Running 30:00 [3]
ahr:161 max:180
Easy morning run. Added some strides at the end to get heart rate up. Legs feeling good, was tempted to do more but think I have done enough this week.
Note
A good half hour of stretching post run.

Running long (Hill Running) 1:45:00 [3]
ahr:165 max:185
GUHH hill running, Earls Seat (578m) taking in Dumbreck (508m) on the way. Steady climb up to Dumbreck but after that it was an undulating run along the ridge to Earls Seat. Running hard the whole way to avoid getting cold. It was clear and sunny but windy and very wet underfoot. At points my feet were so cold I was in agony! Felt good all the way, ankles fine over the rough terrain. Finished in the pub for lunch, awesome day out. Intensity 3.5.

Leg exercises, some using fitball.

Running 20:00 [3]
ahr:158 max:166
On the treadmill in the lab. I hate treadmills.
Running warm up/down 32:30 [3]
Running hills 29:30 [5]
ahr:172 max:192
GUHH hill session: 10 x 1min, active recovery to bottom of the hill of up to about 2minutes. Not a very steep hill so reps were fast. Stayed consistent, reaching the same spot each time. Legs feeling a little tired but was still managing to run really hard.

ahr:139 max:170
Missed the first 5 minutes due to lecture running late.
Running tempo 40:00 [4]

Strength and Conditioning (Core) 26:00 [3]
ahr:110 max:136
Planned on going to core balls as lab clashes with my usual Thursday afternoon session, but the class was already full. Did a really good core set instead. Muscles sore now.

Running intervals 25:00 [5]
ahr:177 max:193
GUHH intervals, 5x800m every 5.30. Times: 3.04 (felt v easy), 3.04, 3.02, 3.01, 2.56. John told me to run between 3.02-3.07 as he thinks I sometimes run too fast. Kept to that for the first three but was feeling really good so ran hard on the last couple. Nice long recovery tonight.

Lunchtime circuits. Felt great.
Running 47:00 [3]
ahr:159 max:181
Ruth and I took some new people round a route at training tonight. Did about 3miles easy with them and then we picked up the pace for the last couple of miles. Was feeling really good but its depressing back running on tarmac, in the dark, in the rain.
