Physio exercises 6:00 [1]

standing

Intervals hills 10:00 [5]

Had planned cycle intervals but snow on ground so avoid the risk of ice, water, snow.
2 x Dess Hills from bridge to top of Deeside Way, 4-55 & 4-52. Pretty terrible time but got it done.
Left calf fine on first and felt a twinge 1-2/10 at about 3-30 on second but it went away.
Small start but need to do something to raise heart rate.
Legs maybe a bit tired from past 2 days in terrain, certainly felt fairly sluggish.

steady run warm up/down 24:00 [3]

14 w/u, 5 between intervals and 5 after.

Physio exercises 17:00 [1]

Checking controls for DNC on MoD - magic area. Dusk so a bit tricky at times.

Physio exercises 6:00 [1]

Standing - felt good & strong

pace run 42:00 [4]

Terrain loop from Dinnet Rangers car park towards Burn O'Vat car park. Mostly good running, a bit of heather and a few patches of bracken. Trying to push up hills without getting calf into over-stress. Succeeded, a twinge or two near end at level1/10 but apart from that OK.

Note

left leg feeling slightly achey this evening so probably a good length of session :-)

Aboyne Ac running club, out to Aboyne Castle, gold road, Low road and back across green. Various short surges and sprints. Calf - mostly fine, flat just a tiny bit on Low Road on hard tarmac, but tightness disappeared and fine after.

steady run 55:00 [3]

Running the Highlands - part of 10km loop, then walk partway back with a faller. Joined in to meet others and back to castle with them. Pleasant day but only a brief Lochnagar view.

orienteering 25:00 [3]

Collecting controls at Cambus - got the west end, magic bit of terrain. Legs a bot stuffed from last few days but still enjoyable.

steady run 3:00:00 [3]

Balmoral long run, 15 miler, done very slowly with lots of stops and photos and blethering. Really chilled and enjoyable :-)
Out for 3-50 total...

steady run 50:00 [3]

Balmoral for Running the Highlands - shorter loop, pleasant pace and lovely day - cold, sunny. Only downside was not doing the Albert Cairn loop so no view of Lochnagar (or maybe the cloud ON Lochnagar ;-)
Left calf totally fine.
Did 5 mins of running drills after with Willie R and no problems.
