Carnethy 5... nice sunny day (for January...) +59.6%. 287/473. Enjoyed the run and much better than last year BUT it's still clear my hill running is way behind my flat running - I kept seeing the same people. Got to the top of Scald Law and ran past a lot of people - then watched them all run past me again descending from the kips... maybe not quite as bad as before on descents but it's pretty clear that hills (particularly descents) are my weakest point by a long, long way. Once I'm used to doing long reps again, hills have to be next priority.
Strength and Conditioning (Circuits) 40:00 [3] rhr:45
ESOC Circuits. Feeling better every week. L. hamstring and r. achilles still sore today. Not too bad but will take it easy to the weekend - also last week kind of failed as a rest week as I had more total hours than any of the preceding 3 weeks.
Running warm up/down 30:00 [1] shoes: Asics Gel DS 15

Meadows Intervals, 5 x 1k: 3'56, 3'54, 3'52, 3'48, 3'40. (av. 3'50) 0 out of 10 for even pacing but feels good to see improvement starting to kick in. Left hamstring and right achilles quite sore after last one.
