Strathearn Trail Race #2, Methven in 23:58 on a cool Sunday morning with ice on the tracks but otherwise good running conditions. About a minute quicker than my two runs in the 2015/16 series using the same course. Knees felt good.

Warm up and down before and after the trail race.

Pollok parkrun #415 with alternative start in Burrell field (worth about 25 to 30 seconds extra?) in 23:31. Cold and crisp morning with some icy patches on the course (I slipped once at the end of the first lap). Felt quite comfortable with a steady effort all the way. Knees not 100% but manageable.

Gentle warm up and down getting into and out of the park. Stiff knees!

Rest day, sore knees.

Snow and ice on the roads forced the CLYDE Terrain Run off the hills, so went orienteering in the snow at the Mains Plantation and Windy Hill with Dave, Lindsay, Ian, Emma and Alice instead. Jog up to start (12:09), first loop (19.30), then second loop back to finish (31:42). Total 63:21. Right knee sore - caused by intervals on Tuesday, I think.

Garscube Strength and Conditioning (65 mins): warm up, 3 x circuits with 40 seconds per station, painful "clams" exercises, warm down.

Garscube interval session at Anniesland. Warm up (10.55), then 4 x 1200 m in between 5:13 and 5:16, then warm down 10:33. Session 49:02.
