Path/Terrain 5:00:33 [2] 43.57 km (6:54 / km) +1953m 5:38 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 230 - 2018
Nice adventures with Ali. Had a big one in mind from a few days back and settled on a Skyline from home, with lots of bail out opportunities if need be. Very surprisingly a slightly broken Ali showed up in the morning keen for the whole thing too so we began in good spirits with Felix tagging along too knowing that at least there'd be chat. Realised that in actual fact we were just doing Skyline with a long WU/D so there was nothing to really worry about except food. Kept on top of that by eating every hour, drinking a good amount even though it was quite a cold day, and walking steep sections from early on to avoid pulling anything. Time flew by, lots of lovely conversation was had, joined by Pedley from Bell's to Hillend, and everything was just about fine except some cramp in my hamstring and the death of Ali's quad.

Out to KB to pick up the car, thinking of some good limericks about Leitchpu.

Path/Terrain race 28:29 8.38 km (3:24 / km) +100m 3:13 / km
shoes: VJ Bold (2018 v2)
A quite mental course especially in muddy conditions so opted for Bolds to save my ankle from death. Started quite hard off the front with Jonny and Eddie but soon munched by Mike. Stayed in no-mans land for the next two laps and trudged in with some bad lap splitting but thankfully holding the other boys off. Could maybe keep with Mike on a fresher day so might consider a taper for East Champs. Nice to pick up the somewhat meangingless (with Liverpool clashing) PB position though.

Nice and long one with Dalkeith for some and Tam for more. Good chats, between the three of them they have 4 broken knees.

Suspicions confirmed about the coffee cup as I consumed a very soapy coffee today and spent the day burping up bubbles and this run almost ruining my boxers. With Alex Tom and soon Max round the big lap of the seat and into Innocent. Tom's first time so that was fun and he really enjoyed it.

First 40min on my own from KB. Soon became clear that I would be needing the toilet so sneaked in to KB again and picked up Pu too. Then out with Alex Tim and Callum to a big Mortonhall loop, going very easily and having some great chat. Had severe stomach issues the whole way round and beginning to think that my coffee cup had a bit of soap in it this morning as it tasted a bit strange.

Before heading home and starting in some serious dark. Did the ankle when I got to Countesswells and it was a pretty horrible limp home.

Path/Terrain warm up/down 23:52 [2] 3.97 km (6:01 / km)
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Sense 6
Seems that 2.5hr of driving does good for the ankle so off to intervals with Alex it was.

Path/Terrain intervals 35:12 9.65 km (3:39 / km) +70m 3:31 / km
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Sense 6
Nice progression of pace running with Eddie Alex and Ali. Struggled in the middle when we started back to the wind (which was from the east today) but perked up again towards the end. Nice to get the legs turning so well after yesterday.

Path/Terrain long 2:33:13 [2] 31.09 km (4:56 / km) +679m 4:27 / km
shoes: Salomon Sense Pro 2 - 2018 Red
Decided to get this annual loop in a bit early this year. Standard out to Brimmond via Kingshill. Over and into South Kirkhill and back up. Then home through Kingswells and Robbie's stomping ground. Feeling great the whole way and no need for any food or water. Put in some effort in the last 10km to get the fat burning. Legs a bit tight finishing off but not too bad.
