9 AM
Mountain bike 1:40:00 [3]
slept:7.5
Slept quite badly with a few interruptions from strange dreams and the cat, felt a bit tired on waking but body felt fine. Rainy day in the forest but really enjoyed trying some more challenging routes- found it was a decent workout for core and kegs but not cardiovascular very challenging probably because I’m a bit nervous so don’t go super fast down the trails. Very cold by the end as lots of puddles.
Recovery drink afterwards then lunch (piscina with cream cheese, tomatoes and rocket)

Slow run. Leg still a little more sore than the end of last week but it’s less high up in the hip and more further down the quad. More uncomfortable than painful so went slowly to make sure I don’t compensate on the right. Didnt get any worse through the run and doesn’t seem worse afterwards.
