Note
(rest day)

Too hot all day to run and busy in the evening when it eventually cooled. Quite happy to take it easy for the day.

5 PM

Run - Trail 58:26 intensity: (40 @0) + (7:42 @1) + (12:19 @2) + (21:40 @3) + (16:05 @4) 9.31 km (6:17 / km) +295m 5:25 / km
ahr:138 max:163 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2019 (aqua)

Back home from the lake in Quillian. Hotter today but managed to time it with a bit of cloud cover and as the hottest part of the day had passed. Still really struggling with both the heat and running.

ahr:136 max:165 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2019 (aqua)

To Renne les Baine with Greg. Very hard work in the heat and with a useless body. Quite a few new trails but most were much bigger than I was hoping. Also a bit further than expecting.

With Greg up Col som Nome and Fa. Not mad hot but enough to drain all my energy. Also slow due to general condition and lack of fitness.

Bike - Road 30:23 intensity: (1 @0) + (2:34 @1) + (20:04 @2) + (7:01 @3) + (43 @4) 12.9 km (2:21 / km) +31m 2:20 / km
ahr:131 max:155

IW. Didn't expect to find out how wet the new tarmac got quite so quickly! Tipping it down when I left, but mild and it eased as I got away form the hills. Probably the fewest other cyclists I have seen on a summer commute (35 I think).
5 PM

Bike - Road 32:38 intensity: (1 @0) + (3:06 @1) + (24:21 @2) + (5:10 @3) 12.54 km (2:36 / km) +23m 2:35 / km
ahr:128 max:143

HFW. Rain stopped but clothes still soggy.
6 PM

Run - Trail 1:24:34 intensity: (43 @0) + (27:43 @1) + (34:17 @2) + (18:39 @3) + (2:35 @4) + (37 @5) 9.02 km (9:23 / km) +535m 7:14 / km
ahr:126 max:179 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

Very slow MDC run from the far side of the Storey Arms. Lots of new ground for me, and a brace of very nice valleys. Didn't feel great but the climbs were very steep. Lost the front half of the group in the mist on the first hill. Will be back to explore more.

7 AM

Run - Road 51:08 intensity: (1 @0) + (53 @1) + (6:06 @2) + (7:39 @3) + (36:13 @4) + (16 @5) 10.6 km (4:50 / km) +41m 4:44 / km
ahr:150 max:167 shoes: Asics trail (orange)

IW. On foot as had to leave the bike in work on Friday to get the hire car back. As expected, the first 15 minutes was miserable, just feeling so dead. Woke up about half way but still not fun. Down Whitchurch Road as it's less tedious than Northern Avenue. Very rewarding way to start the day though. Despite being on the road a fair bit longer than cycling, I saw notably fewer cyclists, which shows how important a good cycle route is in attracting people to cycle.
5 PM

Bike - Road 29:02 intensity: (1 @0) + (2:07 @1) + (7:00 @2) + (16:56 @3) + (2:58 @4) 12.81 km (2:16 / km) +23m 2:15 / km
ahr:138 max:162

HFW. A tail wind in the evening!!! This is not supposed to happen. But it was very nice and made cycling home feel good for a change. New surface through the industrial estate is super smooth - think it may cause a lot of spray in the wet though.

Event: Scottish 6 Days 2019
 
11 AM

Bike - Gravel 4:05:30 intensity: (1:17 @0) + (1:16:27 @1) + (1:49:00 @2) + (55:32 @3) + (3:12 @4) + (2 @5) 84.22 km (2:55 / km) +803m 2:47 / km
ahr:126 max:167

At last able to explore the Taff trail as far as Merthyr, a bit bitty in places but also some really nice sections, particularly the nature reserve after Abercynon. Lots of cycle gates, road crossings and slow bits so pace was well down on an equivalent road bike, but it was much more enjoyable being off the roads. Came back via NCR 768, which wasn't so well signposted and had to get the map out a few times to work out where to go, also held up in Caerphilly due to the cheese festival. Suffering from lack of food for the last hour. Grand day out and still think the bike is the business.

Note

Wasted the morning and spent the afternoon catching up with everything, which didn't include making time for exercise. Regret that now.
