Running2:05:06 [2] 14.71 mi (8:30 / mi) +305m7:59 / mi shoes: Asics Gel DS16 Red 2
Long run - started slowish (>9 min miling) then put effort in once I reached Arthur's Seat. 3 laps fairly steady. Getting really quite hard work on the last lap and way home - was trying to put effort into keeping pace up at the end.
Not sure my achilles tendons will thank me for this but this was quite a good session and reassuring I can go out and run this sort of distance not really have done much long running of late. Really better have an easy week next...
Running1:10:00 7.8 mi (8:58 / mi) shoes: Asics Gel DS16 Red 2
Was really quite tired after yesterday and didn't put my back into 8 x 2-3 min intervals with random kind of rest then run out to Maggie's @ Newhaven for HBT Burns' Supper.
Achilles a bit too sore today as well - must have a few easy/achilles friendly days now.

Running tempo 35:00 7.5 km (4:40 / km) shoes: Asics Gel DS 16 Red
Tempo run on the treadmill as I thought I wasn't going to get intervals this week. 10' slow, then 15' @ 15kph speeded up to 15.5kph for last 5 so just under 20' for a 5k. The 15.5 was becoming hard work so I think that threshold pace on a treadmill is currently about that. Then 5' slow.
Strength and Conditioning5:00 [3]
Trying to get the strength work back after a bit of a hiatus.
Stepper15:00 [2]
Using the stepper - went what felt quite hard only to discover HR was only 138. I think that's the problem I have on hills - not strong enough to be aerobically limited.
