Training Log Archive: Big Jon

Hanging (30 mins) and collecting (20mins) controls at club training - all on paths 'cos planner was lazy for TD4 & 5.

cod at Logie Steading all day then Deeside Runners diner then tidying up planning for training session and printing maps at midnight - must plan further ahead next time (like always...)

Over to DAP and then lap of first loop of race to check course. Feeling a bit meh after pilates (always do the day after...).

Dess Night Race. Started a bit quicker than previous races but was overhauled by plenty on the first hill. Right calf felt a bit tight on forest road near end of first loop so eased back a fraction on descent. OK on flats but felt it a bit on uphills on second loop. Sore by send of third loop and tightened up quite a bit after race. Hobbled back over hill to home.
Rest required and some gentle stretching. Nothing on till next weekend...

Fill in session after missing Monday 7th.

To start, from finish

DNC Sluie, cold night (almost snowing at start and chill wind), decent run apart from losing height on 6-7 (1 minute) and then stuffing up 12 - again miss-read height from a wee spur and ended up too high. Many people missed this but I should have read map better.
3rd overall and managed to beat E so happy!

Up Fungle then slalom through nice bits of Birsemore checking a few map comments. Lovely forest... just lovely ;-)
Felt OK on up - took it very steady, OK in terrain apart from steeper hills.
