running 2:36:51 [3] 30.3 km (5:11 / km) +106m 5:05 / km
from Slack towards Clackmannan until the cycle path stopped, then towards to Dunfermline and back.
lovely weather, warm, no wind.
trying to run slower because Dave reckons I'm doing long runs too fast, ie absolutely knackered by the end, requiring more recovery time or risk of overtraining.
still absolutely knackered by the end.

need to do this more often as well! I'm sure it's good for my glutes and core and keeping everything going balanced and evenly.
Shame it's so mind-numbingly dull.
been feeling much more recovered the last couple of days, feeling quite bouncy.

on my own in the snow.
legs not too bad; hamstrings quite stiff and tight, but rest of muscles seem OK. Very hard to tell just how tired I am though in the snow. Definitely feeling less tired than this time last week. Need to not do 2 hours walking tomorrow as well as my run...

another planned rest day - into Glasgow with Rachel for Grade 1 violin exam.

running 2:32:26 [3] 30.0 km (5:05 / km) +140m 4:58 / km
Strathdevon - Blairlogie and back. too hot in a helly and light jacket.
still feeling a bit tired to start with but not too bad, certainly better than last Saturday, but really really struggling by the end. 42k is seeming an awfully long way at the moment.
So 1 week of rest but still with a fair amount of dog / DofE walking isn't enough to recover from 2 very hard weeks.

Rachel's party at Clip n Climb, so did some climbing, but not too strenuous. might have sore arms / fingers tomorrow but shouldn't have affected my legs.

On a different note, nice to see one of my former pupils scoring a try for Scotland today.

Note
planned rest day. Unfortunately it also included 11k of walking in the Pentlands with a relatively heavy rucksack (Silver training half-day, approx. 3 1/2 hours walking). Not too tiring, but not as resting as sitting on your bottom all day.
Wednesday Mar 15, 2017 #
running 1:01:00 [3]
still very very tired
circuits etc 9:00 [3]

Reckon I did nearly 2 hours walking as well, what with walking Storm breakfast, lunch + afternoon, and taking girls down to school, then back down to school for pick-up and back home again.

running 1:05:00 [3]
Blue course at Tentsmuir for Compass Strop Cup.
Managed to plod round. legs happy enough to trot along on the paths, but really struggling to move through the terrain on exhausted legs.
Didn't lose much time on nav other than being generally slow at it - lost a bit on 2 and a bit on 11, but otherwise just slow and steady.

Note
Have now remembered why I don't go orienteering: my left ankle (and a little bit my right) has completely seized up. My ankle joints seem to be OK on smoothish surfaces, but can't cope with terrain anymore.

running 1:30:17 [4] 18.39 km (4:55 / km) +80m 4:48 / km
from school to just over brow of steep hill in Alva, back to Health Centre.
really tired on this one - started off OK but really struggling by the end, although still keeping the pace up. Other than hills, the slowest km was the cycle path from Tilli to Alva - had a head wind but even so slower than it should be...
Easy jog planned for tomorrow and rest on Friday.
Highlight was seeing a kingfisher on the cycle path Tilli - Alva; flying along in front of me on the way out, then sat on a post above a ditch on the way back.
