Running Training long (Mixed Trail) 2:15:59 [3] 22.02 km (6:11 / km) +173m 5:57 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 - Claret/Sk
Easy long run with Thomas W getting his head into a place where he could manage the 17m Glen Lyon trail race next weekend that I've bailed out of.
Headed along cliff path to Rock Hall fishing station to add on a couple of miles then turned back and dropped down onto head of St Cyrus bay. Along the dune trails to the visitor centre then along road, over viaduct and into Kinnaber Links.
This area is beautiful, it's a great mix of lovely wee blocks of white forest, a few areas of interesting contours, some lovely open grassy blocks with more contours and a great path network. I would love to be able to get it mapped, just don't know if folk would travel there to race, it's such an inbetweener of an area.
Headed back via some new trails I'd not tried, back over viaduct then past visitor centre and up the steep steps to finish. Managed to run the whole way up them for first time!
R adductor very tight and achy after and during evening.

W/up from High St up into Dunnottar Woods for the Improver's Cup time trial. Really not feeling the love for this. Wanted to do the Sprint race course from the night before I missed but couldn't get the map in time.

SRC Improver's Cup 2017 - Race 1
Not really into this but set off steady, hoping to maintain a good hard tempo. Lead pack started to edge away quickly, they are just in a different league these days.
Tucked in behind other Neil and we chugged along at a strong pace for the first loop. I edged ahead for the big loop of the field but he got alongside and then just ahead as we passed the finish with 1 big loop to go.
Didn't have the will to race, was trying so hard to just keep the momentum going, he managed to keep going strong and stretched a lead to about 30-40m. Couldn't close the gap at the end.
Not really what my back was needing tonight, but good to get out and stretch the legs.

Cool down run after Improver's Cup with Neil E and Steve T around Radio Station road and then along past Castle and monument then on to pub.
R adductor pretty tight at end of evening, especially so after sitting in pub for an hour.
NOTE: HR way too high again on a downhill, not sure if I should be changing the batteries on my strap???

Morning Mobility 10:00 [1]
A few floor exercises to try to loosen a very stiff and sore back. Been a tough week feeling totally uninspired to run through the pain.

Base Level Circuit
Been meaning to try these exercises since I spotted a link to them. Tried the base level circuit for one single set to see what it was about, 5 x 45s wall squats per set... ouchy!
Genuinely felt like it helped a little bit though... maybe placeboic? Probably but def going to try the full set of three next.
