Recovering from a good week and skite.

Heriot Watt Sprint - Pre JK training

Legs feeling very dead but kept the intensity high and pushed on. Happy with my sprint technique mostly, apart from missing two of the main route choices. Big thanks to Jonny for planning it!

Sprint Relay style training - Great fun!

Chill with Callum and the lads.

Short Hills - Same as last hill session with Jonny

4 x 1min, 6 x 30s

V short sesh but got the legs working well, trying to focus on form in the latter stages of reps. Small tickle in my throat but think this is just the result of a few late nights, nothing a good sleep can't sort.

Calves alright on reps then tight on warm down... think i just need a few days off running to let them settle down...whichhhh will happen after tomorrows sprintO.

drills.

just shy of 5 reps of 55kg bench... ballocks.

Gym and back, calfs not as destroyed as I thought they would be! Loosened off a bit in the gym.

Easy on the seat with Ali and Tam, nice.

Drills

Meadows sesh with Ali and Tam.

2x1200 [4min] 2x1000 [3min] 2x800 [2min]

3:47,3:41,3:08,3:04,2:30,2:27

After dreading this session all day and my legs feeling shit all warm up, it was good to go out there and do a hard, fast session and get some positive feedback! 1k's and 800's both had pretty rancid headwinds on them (but nothing compared to yesterday) - The first k felt really hard across meadow walk as well as not knowing where the finish line was made it a bit of a faff to begin with. The finishing straight of the 800's were an absolute grind in the wind as well but managed to pace them nicely. Fair bit of people dodging going on today as well, tucking in Ali's slipstream for the first half of the reps, proper TT style was good craic.

Calf felt good as well, bit tight on the cool down but nothing really bad.

Easy long run

Debut of the Salomon shoes which felt really good (thank fuck for the price i payed for them). Calf still a wee bit uncomfortable, but mainly only noticing it on the ups. Physically felt okay but at the same time quads feeling a bit shafted and tired from squats/weekend.

Noticed how tight my right glute was during the gym the other day and have started some new stretches to try loosen it up, could be why my calf has been playing up or probably another red herring.

Pre and post gym jog with Purko and Tess. R Calf playing up again and feeling really tight and uncomfortable to run on. R Glute noticeably tight as well.
