Training Log Archive: Gillian

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.

Well, I have certainly enjoyed summer this year.

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.

fine on warm up, v tired on warm down. wearing too many clothes (2 pairs of tights + 5 layers on top half) after being cold yesterday, so was a bit of a Michelin man.
both hamstrings still tired

with Storm in the snow.

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.
