Back to Drumpellier Country Park for a third race in 24 hours, namely the fourth and final STAG 60 Minute Score event. Much easier to spot the flags in the daytime, so a clean run round all the controls in 50:39. Drumpellier at its best (i.e. before the vegetation starts to make an appearance). Double digit temperatures and bright sunshine gave everything a Spring-like feel. Now my favourite STAG area.

Warm up before the Sprint.

Scottish Sprint Championships at Erskine, M/W40+ course (2.1 km, 40 m) in 16:15. Pretty good run with only a couple of micro-wobbles on a fiddly but not super technical area. Good course with no sneaky "traps".

Scottish Night Championships at Drumpellier Country Park, M50L course (7.2 km, 70 m) in 59:07 on a pleasantly mild evening. Reasonable run with just a few of the wobbles in the circle to be expected in the dark. Patrick in a different league (48), but Ben (55) and Dave (56) weren't too far ahead.

Rest day.

CLYDE Terrain Run clockwise round the Whangie with Dave, Lindsay, Thomas, Emma and Iain on a cool and still evening. Really hard to see in very "flat" light from a small headtorch.

Garscube Strength and Conditioning session. 60 seconds "on" this week, with the extra 10 seconds making everything feel much harder!

Another 5 hours driving, then Garscube Interval Session at Anniesland. 4 x 1 mile in 6:46, 7:28, 7:31 and 7:32. Dropped back from first to second half of middle group after second interval. Third and fourth intervals steady. Total session 46:01.

About 9 hours driving, so no time to run today.
