Training Log: bethh

Dove Crag lower path-- Red Screes and back loop.
Late start at work meant my 7.30am alarm felt like a lie-in. Pre-breakfast and I felt great :). Was expecting some damage from the storm but it was absolutely fine, and warm enough for just a t-shirt!
Not a great sleep because sore ear.

Meaning to have one for a while, and with the Storm making it awful, not able to get to the gym in working hours, earache and the fact it was still dark till 7.30am meant this is very well timed!! Not sad to be in a warm bakery all day that’s for sure.

Horrible ear pain which got worse through the day- popped out to the doctors and I have a large boil in the canal which should hopefully get rid of itself in the next couple of days. So painful :(

8 days in a row at work now till the FRAs next weekend, not going to force any training over this week to try and get through the other side as fresh as possible... RIP.

Someone was on the rack so my backward lunges were with 10kg hand weights rather than 35 on my back.. legs tired but got through :)

Massage with Hazel. Cupping and acupuncture in l. ITB/quad, and release of the psoas up high- feels so much better !!!

Leg 2 FRA recce with Lou. Buzzing- nice long runnable ascent, a small technical bit on/around Cofa and then a long runnable descent. Very rainy but so fun to be out in!! Also nice to bump into fellow AAC recce'ers!

60k, 1800m
Struggle - Dockray- Troutbeck- St Johns- A591.
Such a lovely day- 22 degrees and blue skies, so took the oppurtunity to go out for a long one. I will not be doing the Struggle over winter- the descent is scary enough as it is let alone when its cold/icy :(. So fun :).

Walk up Wansfell to enjoy the summer evening sunset !

Post work with Ben!
Not as easy as I hoped- Ben was pushing me along trying to lower his Strava time up n down Loughrigg !
