Training Log: SKWilson

Garscube interval session under floodlights at St Thomas' track just before the rain arrived. Warm up (5:31), 7 x 600 m in between 2:27 and 2:32, warm down (9:18). Session 47:33.

Loop from the house to Milngavie and back to Bearsden along Roman Road in 44:13. Felt better than when I ran the same loop one minute slower a month ago.

Project student sniffed and sneezed over me for an hour - hopefully I won't catch their cold!

GRAMP SOL 6, Forvie (Short Brown, 7.2 km, 200 m) in 70:58 with approx. 5:45 of errors. Technical race on the rarely used southern part of the area. Caught 4 minutes by Patrick W when I went too high at 7 (-3:00). Otherwise fairly clean, except 11 (-1:45) where I played pinball between the knolls after carelessly not knowing where I came off the track. Then struggled home, slowing down all the way through the marshy ground.

Very scenic jog along the coast to the start, including the Pre-O.

Ruchill parkrun #27 in 24:04. Steady effort, feeling fairly good most of the way. Eased off Sergey Bubka style on the home straight when I could tell I was going to run a Ruchill parkrun PB (by 14 seconds) - no point raising the bar too high for next time!

Warm up (13:00) and warm down (15:33, with good views of the city from the flagpole) with Alice.

Long day in Edinburgh (PhD viva, then a show at the Lyceum).
