Road 1:00:03 [3] 12.31 km (4:53 / km) +136m 4:37 / km
ahr:152 max:181 shoes: New Balance 890 v6

From home taking in Blue Pool & Poulnaderka

Safely within 2km of home

Will keep it as Road since the majority was on that surface. Lovely sunny day. I'll count this as my tea break from work.

Blue Pool has had a bit more clearing done by the Meitheal group, around the pool itself. Looking well as a result.

A garda van and a fire engine passed me on Mangerton Road. There's a gorse fire on Mangerton at the moment. The one in Dinis in the news over the weekend wouldn't have been farmers but this one is likely to be.

Legs feeling tired towards the end but overall they were ok. I have realised that I probably won't be able to see a physio should I need one so need to be careful.

Note
(rest day)

Time for a plan for the week. Working at home today! Had an idea for a run, have a car outside the house that should be at my brother-in-laws, thought I might drop it over to them and run home. But that would be against the spirit of the current restrictions and they don't need the car for a few more weeks.

Monday - Rest
Tuesday - Run
Wednesday - Bike
Thursday - Run
Friday - Bike
Saturday - Run
Sunday - Run/Bike

Bike might be indoors or out if the weather is ok, a few laps of the local loop would be a sort of intervals with the climb.

Turbo Trainer 42:34 [2]
ahr:134 max:145

Breaking Bad S03 E12

This wasn’t easy. Same struggles as last time on the turbo but today was worse. Disappointed. I did check the resistance before starting and that hasn’t changed.

Was talking to an ‘older person’ earlier, for their morning run they did leave the house for 2 miles but did 4 then around the garden, 8 laps to the mile.

Trails/Road 43:14 [3] 8.71 km (4:58 / km) +109m 4:40 / km
ahr:152 max:171 shoes: New Balance 890 v6

Gortagullane & Blue Pool

Stayed within the specified 2km of home. I understand as an orienteer that it’s measured in a straight line. So mix of trails and road before breakfast.

Did see a Garda car by the Muckross Abbey car park. They didn’t catch me as I ducked into the forest on the Muckross side of the road to follow the MTB trail parallel to the road.

Then up the road to home.

Cycling 52:29 [3] 26.1 km (2:01 / km) +198m 1:56 / km
ahr:150 max:173 shoes: Spiuk ZS11

Killarney - Glenflesk

Was going to do the Beaufort Loop but was feeling tired after setting out so went for a shorter, sightly, spin. Although this has more climb! Another glorious day so felt the road bike was a good option despite not planning for this. At least i'd a Garmin on my wrist to use when the bike Garmin died. Tried to adjust time/distance for this.

Didn't feel good until I started climbing to come back across by Lough Guitane. Wasn't too bad before that but took a while to get into it, it's been a while. End of October was my last outdoor spin.

Trails/Road 38:02 [3] 7.39 km (5:09 / km) +181m 4:35 / km
ahr:156 max:175 shoes: New Balance 890 v6

Muckross - Torc side of the road

Rather than usual routes I decided to try for some social distancing. Surprisingly I didn't actually achieve that aim as well as I thought I might. Met 11 people on this route.
1 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1

What an evening though, fantastic weather, can only feel positive on days like this.

Legs felt fine and so did the body. Bit sniffly afterwards though so something not perfect but not concerned, will train tomorrow too i'd say.
