Running Training 1:35:26 [3] 8.2 km (11:38 / km) +329m 9:42 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 (Red/Grey 2
SOL 2 @ Trossachs - Brown 6.8k (540m) - 13th (Winner - 70:35)
Interesting interpretation of a middle start, 1044 am, haha... ah well I got home at a decent time.
Probably unwise to travel to this given state of my fitness but you can't turn down a chance to "run" here. Wasn't expecting miracles so set myself a target of 100mins, hoping to just navigate smoothly and keep plugging on. Managed to do both, but my god my ground speed is so much slower than it was or needs to be to be competitive.
Was doing OK in the early part of the course before the road crossing time wise, but clearly the lack of stamina and strength on the long climbs takes it toll.
Still I'll take away the positives about the navigation instead, with tail firmly between my legs... been a tough season already so far.

Coach Ali's 10 x 400m Intervals.
Easy warm up around Baird Pk then across town to Carron Tce by green bridge.
Fastest group had to do 10 x 400m intervals along Carron Tce, then up Cameron St to cross roads with Arduthie St, then take 300m easy recovery between.
Managed a few sprints alongside different groups of folk, all seemed to work pretty hard and enjoy the session.
Glad my 5 weeks of Thursday coaching is over for now... get back to proper running those nights.

Note
A weekend without running is an uncommon event... but still filled with plenty of fresh air with 2 games of golf and a lot of standing about at Run Garioch yesterday.

Lovely wee tempo run from Leisure Centre whilst Oli was at his relocated swimming lesson. Headed up through Cowie and onto the cliff path to golf club, lovely fresh evening. ran on past clubhouse until 11 mins were up then turned and headed back to make it inside 20 mins.
Felt pretty good for having done no running since Thursday. Loved pelting down the single track back to Cowie then a good tempo if not lightning fast back to LC.
