9 AM

Running 2:00:00 [3] 26.0 km (4:37 / km) +650m 4:06 / km
slept:6.5

Run from St Just YH to Lands End, carried on for another half hour, then turned back to meet Jen in Trevescan. She was running late, so I ran another loop via Lands End and Nantjizl, followed by veggie fry up in the Apple Tree and an afternoon on the beach. Set off harder than normal for a long run to try to cover as much distance as possible and felt good all the way in spite of the hot morning - some great technical running on the hilly and rocky coastal path.
7 PM

Running 20:00 intensity: (15:00 @2) + (5:00 @4) 4.0 km (5:00 / km) +120m 4:21 / km

Couldn't resist jogging down to the beach one last time for a sunset circuit session and some hill bounds.

Not really a training run. Day off running today, but blasted it up from Pendeen lighthouse to the town to pick up the car before an afternoon on the beach. Walk down and back with Alex on my back, legs really tired today! Evening BBQ in the sun with Shane and Heather at the YH, all very idyllic.

From St Just YH to Mayon Cliffs via Sennen Cove. Lovely morning for it and enjoyed rolling along on the technical coastal path. As a commute to work goes, this is a pretty good one!
9 AM

Surveying 5:30:00 [0]

Survey at Mayon Cliff, with a play on the beach and a cream tea in Sennen Cove with Jen and Alex to break it up in the middle. Great views and some interesting granite terrain. Added bonus of nearly stepping on an adder - the first time I have ever seen a live one in the UK in spite of my countless hours of wandering and running through forests and fells.
4 PM

Faster run home (running late) from Lands End. Felt surprisingly good and enjoyed pushing the pace.

Long day of survey at Botallack with Alex on my back for an hour after a picnic lunch. What an amazing area, really unique mix of granite and tin mining detail.

Long day of travelling down to Lands End YH. Had a walk in the sun at Dartmoor from Oakhampton then carried on into the driving rain. At 8pm the sun finally came out and I was tempted out for a short jog to explore the coastline.
