weight:84.2kg shoes: Gel 1000s Grey Apr 2019

Happy to get a good fairly steady 10 mile run in without injury problems. In the winter the WoL path always seems colder than the canal but that was a good thing in today's heat. Currie Kirk bridge and back, speeding up on way back, only just starting to lose it at the end. Left knee started to hurt a couple of k into the downhill return trip but thankfully settled.

Good week, 41 miles, decent speed session, decent long run.

TT turned out to be 12 x 200m jog recovery in the sun. Felt good but wasn't very fast, mostly racing Iwan and just ahead of Amy. Am I getting old or am I just overweight?

Set off to Martin's intervals, on time for once, but was clearly very tired (races Sun/Thu/Sat last week probable cause) and I've stopped doing sessions when I'm too tired to actually do them properly so gave it a skip.

Orienteering race 22:20 [5] 4.2 km (5:19 / km)
shoes: Gel 1000s Grey Apr 2019

Sprint Scotland, Bo'ness. +45%. Thought it would be fun to do the open course and it was certainly a good course. First starter and was trying to hold off the second starter but took wrong route 10-11 (went slightly south then west to the path at the end of the fence then into control from above) and was suddenly behind him. Actually looking at routes now 7-8 was wrong too didn't spot way through fence just W of control.

Orienteering 21:20 [5]

Sprint Scotland race 2. Open, +43%. Enjoyed this and it looks like it was more interesting than the vets course.Thought I was running fairly well but 38/41 rather than 32/38 this morning so I guess I'm not and I did a bit better in the more technical morning race.

Allermuir Gallop. Great fun. 4 mins off previous times. Really need to actually lose weight. Nice evening apart from midgies at the finish. I thought everyone was putting on midge repellant and was going to ask if I could borrow it but no, everyone was just rubbing midge bites.

Running 2:20:15 [5] 23.0 km (6:06 / km) +679m 5:19 / km
weight:85.6kg shoes: Brooks Cascadia

Heavy morning weigh in after a couple of days of mostly eating. Started off running with StuW plus JamRo, MickeyG turned up too. When they needed a fourth name for the first team I agreed I would beat Neil T so pressure was on when he started in front. Felt quite good, although lack of long runs caused me to get tired a bit earlier than I would hope. Happy to still be moving OK on the run Blackford to AS but it was more like 5 min/k rather than actually fast and Neil, who I had got ahead of, overtook me going up gutted haddie. As soon as I started heading down from AS my left knee started hurting strongly, typically runner's knee feeling, and I ended up jogging down to protect it losing a few minutes.

Past races (Corstorphine Hill, Craiglockhart, Braids, Blackford, entering Holyrood Park, top of AS; AS to end).

Odd week. Doing well at reps on Thursday was a high point, feeling too tired to run properly on Saturday long run was a low point.

7 hills recce with StuartW. I was quite terrible, getting very, very tired to the point I was trundling along at 10 min miles. I'm theoretically meant to be fitter. Basically still tired from Thursday night.

TT was 'undulating' rather than hill reps said Jill. Apart from the hill the ground was indeed not too steep. 10 x 90". Ran surprisingly well, 3rd on some of the reps, with GK and Longshorts running away until I got tired and started dropping back when running in the uphill direction. Perhaps others were tired from Red Moss but this was a bit of a morale boost.

weight:84.9kg shoes: Mudclaw 300 (Blue)

Yetholm hill race. Haven't done this race before, really enjoyed it, quite runnable terrain, good length. Warm-by-Scottish-hills standards wind. Was running just behind a group of a few people (and just behind Neil T who I would expect to beat on the flat), on every hill I would lose a minute, then I would gain it back, then there was the large hill at the far end and I lost two minutes and I never quite got it back. Strength to weight ratio really a problem on the steep hills but otherwise I am feeling fitter. 30 mins behind leaders (PeteG was second in just over 70).

Easy run around and over AS, looked for AlexL who was doing a 12hr challenge but failed to spot him.
