Martin's intervals. Skipped the first one. 4'09, 4'07, 4'05 then my body sort of remembered how to run and about 3'50. Knee objecting a little by the time I got home. Am getting away with this amount of training at the mo.

Running race 48:10 [5] 10.7 km (4:30 / km) +103m 4:18 / km
weight:85.6kg shoes: Adidas XC Spikes

National XC @ Falkirk. 444/719, +42%. Quite happy with that. The start was a rather peculiar 1.5 laps of a circuit before 3 normal laps and it was a good kilometer before it was possible to run properly. Started to feel really quite good in second lap and ran past George, Dan, Ivor, faded very slightly at end and didn't pass RobF or ColinC although I had got close half way through the second lap. Knee started hurting near the end but coped. Definitely feel like I'm starting to get my act together again.

Running 46:28 [3] 8.83 km (5:16 / km) +90m 5:00 / km
weight:85.1kg shoes: Gel 1000s Blue No. 2

TT was 6 x 45", 6 x 30", 8 x 15" tapering for the national. Didn't do it flat out obvs but good to stretch the legs a bit without overdoing it. Felt really quite good warming up for the first time in a million years.

IW felt quite good.

Running tempo 1:01:02 11.24 km (5:26 / km) +160m 5:04 / km
shoes: Gel 1000s Blue No. 2

Went to MPC Monday for once, to get a session in today before chillaxing for the National. Was quite tired. 3 x 8 mins (3 min recovery). Couldn't keep up with the group/anyone, really feels like weight is the issue rather than anything else at the moment. Still, managed some decent effort.

Running 1:33:25 [1] 14.2 km (6:35 / km) +440m 5:42 / km
weight:86.6kg shoes: Mudclaw 300 (Blue)

Slow slightly long run in the Pentlands, basically back home from Flotterstone. Felt really slow in place but it's good to get time on my feet and I can't really do long runs on the flat atm.

Saturday Feb 16, 2019 #

Running 30:40 [3] 4.92 km (6:14 / km)
weight:86.6kg shoes: Gel 1000s Blue No. 2

IW, slightly longer nicer way. Tired and slow though. So many people running on the canal path on a Saturday morning.

Running 26:00 [1] 4.2 km (6:11 / km)
weight:86.6kg shoes: Gel 1000s Blue No. 2

IW, tired but not ludicrously so.

Running 1:09:41 12.38 km (5:38 / km) +182m 5:15 / km
weight:86.6kg shoes: Gel 1000s Blue No. 2

TT was a paarlauf on Bruntsfield links, 5 x oh about 800m or so, with ColinC. Surprisingly I felt really quite good. If it wasn't for the waistline injury I'd having been running OK, as it was feeling really quite good appears to be c. 4 min/k atm.

Running race 22:31 [5] 5.22 km (4:19 / km) +90m 3:58 / km
shoes: Gel 1000s Blue No. 2

Over The Hill, HBT vs EUHH competition, did first leg, around AS, then Ivor ran up the hill. Actually not too bad considering. Having rested for the last couple of days I felt reasonably OK, time poor but not far behind DanC and George.

Running 25:00 [1] 4.2 km (5:57 / km)
shoes: Gel 1000s Blue No. 2

IW feeling really quite tired

Running 1:10:40 [3] 12.6 km (5:37 / km) +235m 5:08 / km
shoes: Gel 1000s Blue No. 2

TT was 10 x 400m reps meant to be getting faster each one although I was so tired really it was 10 x drag myself up to HM speed briefly. Almost bailed after the first one as felt quite weak and hungry. Probably should have. Second week in a row BOF sent me a ranking list email saying I had done my worst races in the past year. Hoping to surface after recent increase in total distance and to feel good at some point but that could be a while away at this rate.

Orienteering race 37:06 [4] 7.14 km (5:12 / km) +65m 4:58 / km
shoes: Mudclaw 300 (Blue)

ESOC Sprint O / Scottish Sprint Champs @ Broxburn, in two parts. Way down, 14th vet, +25%. Partly tired from 2nd consecutive week of more mileage and partly I'm just not going to run well until I lose weight. Had fun but need to get my running back together. At least I wasn't bothered by injuries during the race.

Around the Braids, much on the golf course closed with snow. Had been planning on going to the masters XC but very tired.
