Training Log: bethh

Crags n Purkos. Will never not appreciate this <3. DOMs UNREAL.

Deffo wouldnt have gone (had about 10 hours sleep in 3 nights...) but Felly was meant to come and then he bailed on me just as I was having my pre sesh coffee at 5.30am, so went anyway. Rest tomorrow for sure.

..straight to gym. Same as last week but didn't do deadlifts but DB Bulgarian squats instead. Deffo hit a plataeu with the squats (52.5kg for 3 sets of 3). Also not loving how busy it is again with everyone back. DEAD.
Straight to another day at work (9am-9pm). One day I'll get some revision done (at least the diss is done..)

10am-8.30pm at work, Harrys sick. Last time I picked up the sickness bug off him so hope it doesnt happen again..

Virtual- was almost sick <3

To gym then gym to meadows, bumped into Saz then another wee loop with Matt and Alasdair. Wore the SR racing flats with my orthotics in. Toes were bunched at the end so will need to be without the orthotics if I race in them- toes and foot feeling weird now

Alisters mobility on the meadows. Dont really know what to log this as now, but pretty much the usual

Need to be careful of training hours, getting obsessive and also knackered/stressed (not sleeping much). 15 days...

so boring- really struggle when its only 25m!

Purkos with Dan <3. Racing shoes fel comfortable :).

60km, 550m West Linton and back via A701.
Bit cold when I left but soon got warm- no wind and blue skies SO PERFECT ahhh! Wanted to go further but revision, and I snapped my valve on my front wheel when I tried to pump it up last night so was ultra worried the whole way that I'd puncture (and I can't change the inner tube as its too tight to the wheel to get it off without the right tools). Weird how this kind of ride doesn't even feel far anymore.

Came back from my run to a very exciting delivery of 40 items and 9 pairs of running shoes. I am now a SCOTT sponsored athlete (they were impressed with my results last year..). :O.
Plan for the next few months: finish uni on 8th May, then I'm in Edi working until graduation (6th July). Hopefully in that time I can get out away in my van, increase running successfully and get fit/lose some of the weight I've gained. My first race I hope to run is one of the British counters- Tal Y Mignedd on the 9th June (less than 7km I think)- may not be race ready by then but hope to run it. I hope to get to the ISF World Junior SkyRunning Champs in August (for the VK mostly), and some of the other races I have entered include the Snowdon race and Ben Nevis in Sept. Also obviously the Mamores VK. !!. I am moving to Ambleside area at some point (Aug/Sept) and getting any job I can find- have become a member of Ambleside A.C- buzzing to have the fells close and hopefully I can spend time running up them than in a pool/gym!!
Exciting times. Hope the foot and body plays ball and I can achieve the form I was on 7 months ago..

C • Awesome!! 2

With Ewan :D

Crags in the sun. Now minus any watch as I left it at work...
