Training Log Archive: Forest Demon

Along the initial route of a hash run Rona and I are planning for an ESOC social.
Tired legs and very stop-starty as I checked things out meant that this was minimal effort and rather slow.

Had a spur of the moment decision to go to Peebles/Innerleithen. It was such a nice day, would've been rude not to.

Out along the A701 till I got to Romano Bridge then down the B7059, which is the best piece of road for cycling ever. Along the A72 till Peebles, and onto the B7062 till Innerleithen.
Stopped here and had some lemonade and some haribo which was nice, until I choked and lemonade came out my nose.
Powered up the Torfichen Hill pass, then down the other side through Middleton, past Temple, and into Carrington, back on more familiar roads. Got absolutely spanked by the hill in Lasswade, was starting to bonk hard by this point.

All in all, a pretty great afternoon out. Glorious sunshine, great views and smooth and (relatively) quiet roads.
Did see 2 dead badgers though, RIP in peace

C • Nice 1

Tired legs after the cycle yesterday, so decided I'd have a relatively easy session. Same as last Thursday's, just cause it was nice and short

Hip mobility/warm-up - Limber 11

4x5 Deadlift (40, 60, 80 warm-up, 100, 110, 120, 120kg)
Tried to keep the bar speed quite high, and really contracting glutes at the top

A wee cruise with Mark around Midlothian. First time in a while on the bike, feeling not too bad - think I've finally shifted my cold.
It was a pretty decent loop, had everything you could want. Dirty climbs, sweeping descents and great views of a fancy castle and the Pentlands.

Home -> Pathhead -> Gorebridge -> Temple -> Gladhouse -> Auchendinny -> Home

Flying solo

Standard warm-up, with some hip mobility also

3x5 Pull ups

4x5 Back Squat (40, 60 warm-up, 80, 90, 100, 100kg)
3x5 Romanian Deadlift (70 warm-up, 100, 100, 110kg)

Mobility stuff, slightly broken, but less bad than expected.
