Training Log: murraystraining

Lairig Ghru take two.
Felt a bit rubbish at the start: it seems like I really do need my long warmups. Got into a nice rhythm once we got off the tarmac and quickly the miles started passing by. Bit of a headwind all the way but nice and cool - only drank 1/2 litre of water in total.
I couldn't remember any of the split times I thought I needed to hit so it was nice to get to 33km and realise a 40 minute 10km would get me the record. Got properly charging through the woods to make sure of it though - broke the record by over 6 minutes in the end!
Didn't feel completely wrecked afterwards either. I suspect I will tomorrow though!

C • Great run! 7

Ticking over.

Train cancellation and delay meant less time available than hoped for pre-race. Fortunately legs felt pretty decent though.

WD w/Spongey afterwards added some of the missed miles in.

Black Rock 5. Stronger field than the last couple of years. AnDoug is an excellent runner but a terrible tactician. He pushed the lead all the way into the wind out to the rock with 5-6 of us lined up in a perfect echelon behind him. Ali Hay took off for the first to the rock prize and Cameron Milne pushed through after that to get into the lead. Andoug ran out of gas on the way back so I was able to hang on for third. Great fun as ever.

Up to Fairmilehead for the Interløpers AGM. Planned to do a bit more but legs asked me not to.
