Training Log Archive: SKWilson

SOL 3, Falkland Estate, Short Brown (6.9 km, 380 m) in 71:39. Interesting new area with nice but tough forest (1 to 5), then a 3 km long leg up and across the hill before a descent to the finish. Clean except for a poor route to 1 (-0.30) and a silly miss at 12 (the last control, -2.30). Tough workout on a sunny day after setting up and keeping an eye on the far start.

Deliberately slow (except for the last 500 metres!) on my first ever visit to Loch Leven parkrun #37 in 26:40. Trying hard not to try hard. Nice brunch at Loch Leven's Larder afterwards.

Scottish Spring Middle Distance Race, Tentsmuir South, Blue (4.6 km) in 32:33. Fairly clean and reasonably brisk run in the interesting part of South Tentsmuir with only one significant error (-1.30 at number 6 when I stopped short at the wrong bunker).

Scottish Spring Sprint Race, Falkland, Men Veteran (3.8 km) in 23:23. Confused at number 1 (I was not the only person to do this!), then the wrong side of the wall at number 6, and confused at the (deliberately) misplaced number 7. Lost heart on the way to number 20 and plodded to the end.

Resting up for the weekend ahead.

CLYDE Terrain Run. Hard straight up The Slacks and back with Dave, Mirjam, Ty, Alice and first-timer Stuart on a mild evening with head torches not required for the first time this year in 51:40.

Very pleasant cycle along the Clyde from the van hire company back into Glasgow city center on a warm and sunny lunchtime.

Gattonside to Melrose over the chain bridge, through to town center, then out along St Cuthbert's Way to the top of the Eildons and back on a sunny early evening in 65:37.

Cycle from work to the van hire company on a pleasant afternoon.
