Training Log Archive: FE

Send/Hungry Hill loop - starting raining the moment I set off in the car. Well worth getting wet. No issues with body, hopefully it stays that way over the next 48 hrs. Saddle needs to be eased up 20mm over time, and brakes barely work. Good circuit and the light traffic was chilled.

77.9 kgs, another 0.5kg lost.

SSP - started relaxed and found I was catching the water after 5 mins. 5% faster than last week.

Hamstring muscles felt as though they were on the limit, so kept it brief.

Long Valley North - Parts of the CSC final green mens course. More of a fartlek with long stops to read map. Quite dark and started taking controls out of order without meaning to. Which worked fine, as left achilles and the ligaments below and behind fibula became very sore after 2k. Think this relates to ligament damage after breaking ankle in 2009. Whole joint is loose. Might need taping or a change of shoes. Thighs felt great after pool running - must do this regularly.

Walking, jogging and a few stretches before and after. Eerily quiet and freezing mist started settling as I successfully relocated my car keys and top in the middle of nowhere. Always a relief when it's almost pitch black.
