Running 12:00 [2] 1.0 mi (12:00 / mi)

Very half hearted warm up and down

Running tempo 27:25 [3] 4.1 mi (6:41 / mi)

KB dash. Very wet and windy to start, clearing on the home stretch. Planned to run it in 28, was on schedule but got dragged along a bit in the later stages as it got nicer.

Wednesday Jan 30, 2013 #

Running 45:00 [3] 6.0 mi (7:30 / mi)

Somewhat not-happening road run around Gracemount.

Tuesday Jan 29, 2013 #

Running warm up/down 50:00 [2] 5.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Lab home meadows ... lap home

Running 30:00 [4] 4.0 mi (7:30 / mi)

ML 5x1250 4:44 49 51 54 57
Windy, getting windier through the session, which partly explains the times, but still fell apart a bit.

Monday Jan 28, 2013 #

Running 52:00 [3] 7.0 mi (7:26 / mi)

Monday(ish) run, steady, little detours around Oxgangs looking at stuff. Back along the glen road. Got a bit wet at the end, but feeling good.

Orienteering race 25:10 [4] 2.7 mi (9:19 / mi)

Prologue, Whinny Hill. Superb new ISSOM map by Jegor. Cold rain.
Couldn't maintain running intensity like yesterday, and several small bananas and hesitiations. 3 mins down.

Interesting how the new map changed the nav style: didn't generally recognise features and concentrated too much on tiny paths, which are everywhere. I should know how to orienteer on AS by now :(.

Orienteering race 17:40 [4] 2.7 mi (6:33 / mi)

Sprint chase at the foot of the Royal Mile. Ran hard, fast and smooth. Didnt see anyone on my course punch a control, and apparently it was gaffled. One small overshoot on the Royal Mile, maybe 50m/15sec.

Fastest on the course :) 6th overall in M40+ :(

(edit, turns out Lucy Butt was a couple of second ahead at one point)

Saturday Jan 26, 2013 #

Orienteering race 55:22 [4] 7.9 mi (7:01 / mi)

Edinburgh street race.
On the one hand, running well and smoothly. On the other, a colossal error losing over 3 mins on a 20 sec leg and running into some out of bounds, then completely confused in Patterson Lands. Pleasing run, but disappointing result. Even knowing the area, there are always new route choice challenges.
Murray won in 41.07. Runningwise I should be 25% down which checks out for a 3min loss.

Cycling warm up/down 35:00 [0]

As transport.
To and from event, and over to Run and Become to spend a 2011 voucher.

Friday Jan 25, 2013 #

Orienteering 1:40:00 [2] 10.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Home, Braids and Mortonhall Golf Courses. Snow under clear skies, lovely. Ran bits of a course from the Night Champs, caught myself out a few times, proving I'm better at planning than navigating...

Friday Jan 18, 2013 #

Arse/alligator work day. Nipped out for a nippy Hermitage and lap of site. Nice.

4:40 40 42 48 46

Still, freezing cold evening, slightly icy. Edel and Claire taking the piss, but it felt like I was running well despite what the clock says. Session fell apart a bit on the last two, but its maybe getting there slooooowly.

Oxgangs, in the rain. Map is sub-ISSOM shite. 30 errors without stopping!

Saturday Jan 12, 2013 #

Running 19:24 [5] 3.1 mi (6:15 / mi)

Parkrun. Cold, still, very good conditions.
The loss since getting flu is now down to about 10 sec/km. Looks like it will just require work. Still producing phlegm and everything aches.
1st M50, thanks to the Broxburn XC clashing.

Warm up and down, jog back to St.Georges.

Note
(rest day)

Finally a much needed rest day, and it was raining, so a double win.

Jog to work

Running 40:00 [3] 5.0 mi (8:00 / mi)

Today really needed to be a rest day, but it was absolutely gorgeous out and some gentle fartlek under clear blue skies just had to be done.

Tuesday Jan 8, 2013 #

Work-Home-Meadows-lap-home with Max via Marchmont.
Session...
3*1250 4:44 45 47
fading, so drop to
1000 3:55
1250 4:50
So another fail. Not sure what's going on, must be some lurking remnants of virus as everything is sore and I'm full of sleep.

Running 10:00 [2] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Jog to work

Saturday Jan 5, 2013 #

Running 2:30:00 [2] 13.0 mi (11:32 / mi)

Lots of slow running at the Holyrood XC, there and back, plus 2m of the BUPA 5k for those down to their last £25. Vast numbers of people running, unlike the 100-odd at the Queens Drive race, but not as fast.
James ran the 2.5km children's race, otherwise few people to watch - Carci and Chloe. Came home to watch the elite races on TV.

Friday Jan 4, 2013 #

Running 53:00 [3] 7.0 mi (7:34 / mi)

Running 20:00 [2] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Jog up the hill near Eddlestone, Portmore House and Loch. Woods and open is nice, surprising its not been mapped.
