Running 2:05:00 [3]
shoes: Inov8
Headed over to Fife for a recce of Devil's Burdens route with Ross,Gary and Louise. Ross and I did legs three and four - I remember now how physical leg three is..
Very misty on top which didn't help with spotting the best routes, we backtracked a couple of times to look for a better way than the one we first found.
Moved quite briskly along the track on leg four, enjoyed the whole run and it was nice to stretch out for the last section, but I was good and ready for the tea shop by the time we got back!

Orienteering 1:10:00 [1] 4.4 km (15:55 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon
Training on Drummond Hill put on by Jon Musgrave for SEDS etc - got there eventually after an abortive attempt to prove the back road through the pass from Amulree to Kenmore could be driven in winter conditions!
Shadowed Abi round the control picking - would have been quite tough going at the best of times and much tougher with lots of snow on the ground and often above ankle deep. She was spiking them all v well apart from one where I wasn't watching what was going on myself - what a great help I am....

Line course on Drummond Hill. Found it v physically tough, more snow than the control picking. Wasn't the best at keeping to the line either, only one significant deviation though. Found I was making slow progress with lots of stop/start so cut short the last relatively featureless bit along the steep slope in favour of a terrain run back.
Running 19:41 [3]
shoes: VJ Falcon
Run back from cut-off on line course, headed through the terrain and then followed the wall along the spine of the hill. Had forgotten how many different hills and knolls there are along that wall.....and they are not any easier when there is snow on the ground!

Running 49:24 [2]
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline Jan 2008
Eventually persuaded myself out the door at 8pm to do 30mins jog on the road - then decided as I had my torch I should do the longer loop on trails - then decided to explore cut throughs in the woodland - ended up with a very muddy twenty minute section and some lovely felled terrain into the bargain.
Just as well I set out in my shiny white new road shoes....

Intervals hills 36:00 [5]
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline Jan 2008
FVO hill session - 6 sets of 3x45secs on/15secs off up Ballengeich. Must have been a killer session as we started with 9 people for the warmup and for various good reasons ended up with 5 for the final set!
Ross was setting the pace up front, Brad and I were similar pace to one another, I was ahead of him on the first 4 sets but he made me pay on the last two....and he did a track session yesterday, hmmm.

Running 45:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline Jan 2008
FVO Wednesday headtorch run - couldn't get there for start but when I set off could see all the torches up on the hill in Hermitage Wood - pushed up the road towards Pendreich and caught everyone up in Minewoods.
Good group tonight, 12 people - enjoyed the run and wasn't too sore after yesterday's reps!

Intervals intervals 25:00 [5]
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline Jan 2008
FVO intervals - Ochil Hill Runners have started to join us which is great, over 20 people tonight.
12x90secs with 30sec recovery, started off quite well and not far behind Jamie/Dixie/Ross but really struggled on the last three or four. Think some of those Ochils need to try harder though, a whole bunch of them came dashing by on the home straight of the final interval!
Then 3x6secs sprints to finish off....or should that be finish us off!
