Running (Trail) 1:04:07 [2] 10.47 km (6:07 / km) +400m 5:09 / km
ahr:136 max:153 shoes: Inov8 RocLite
Polmaise and part of Sauchie Crags. Sore back, v tired (Jamie up three times during the night), a very slow and slippery run. Nice to be out but a non-run, really.

Note
(rest day)
On my feet most of the day, trawling around John Lewis building a wedding gift list, but I don't think it counts as training!

Running (Road) 41:27 [3] 9.4 km (4:25 / km) +160m 4:04 / km
ahr:149 max:167 shoes: Asics GT-2120 road
Lunchtime run in Livingston, trails v muddy so stuck to the paths. Still have a fair bit of work to do to get back up to a decent pace.
Running on a hard surface is definitely a bit more stress on the joints - but impact is supposed to help maintain bone density, according to scientific research (TM).

Gym (Cross-trainer) 50:00 [4] 11.55 km (4:20 / km)
shoes: Asics GT-2120 road
Held up by traffic chaos leaving Livingston after work, so was way too late to get to the hill reps, and went to the gym instead. Pushed hard on the cross-trainer (cross-country route), and got a PB, if you're allowed to have such things on gym equipment! Felt good.

Running (Trail) 1:09:32 [3] 12.62 km (5:31 / km) +390m 4:46 / km
ahr:141 max:156 shoes: Inov8 RocLite
Very easy pootle, trying not to jar my back. Dunblane - Br of A via Kippenrait glen, Mine Woods, Cocksburn resr, Waltersmuir resr, Kippenrait, home. Amazingly muddy trails, as much as swim as a run in places. Chilly, but clear - nice to be out.

Intervals intervals 24:00 [5] 5.6 km (4:17 / km)
ahr:164 max:171 shoes: Asics GT-2120 road
24 x 45 on, 15 off. Wasn't sure what to expect after a hardish weekend, but the legs felt surprisingly OK; I kept it steady nonetheless. Jon X was cranking them out well. I decided to spurn the 3 x 6s comedy sprints after the reps, because they locked up my left calf last week, and did strides instead - but twanged my lower back, stretching out too far, and couldn't even do the warm downs. Ar*e! Must do my core exercises, that dodgy disc ain't going away... cue stretching, self-massage and mega-strength ibuprofen tabs.
Running warm up/down 15:00 [1] 1.0 mi (15:00 / mi)

Strength training (Home circuits) 30:00 [1]
Push-ups, sit-ups, planks, dips, and some stretching, before breakfast. Hamstrings tight as a gnat's chuff, particularly right up at the top of my left one. Ow.
