Lochindorb loop with JT. Really nice conditions again.

Saw Jules this morning. Positive outlook - do my exercises and give it some friction massage and I might be able to start running next weekend. She gave my hips, pelvis and glutes a good battering, cracked my back and sent me on my way.

The "four bridges" tour from JJ's: Nethy, Coylum, Carr & Dulnain. 30 miles in good conditions - a bit rusty on the bike handling though so fairly mincing on the bends and downhills.

What is the best training session you can do in 15 minutes?
Work is going crazy at the moment and we were heading up north so I had a strict curfew - had to leave the gym at 18:30. That seemed fine at 5pm but when I left my desk at 18:13 I was up against it to get a session in! 3 mins to get changed, 3 minute warm up then 10x 45/15 on the spin bike, 1 min to tidy up and leave on time. Job done.

No adverse reaction to last nights little spin so I can start to build up the volume on the spinning to get the cardio system back on track. Still on Tommy The Who while spinning but was rediscovering my adolescent punk scene with some NoFX while on FRS&S - best faffing soundtrack I've come across.

Usual NoFX inspired FRS&S then a huge 22 spin. Was going to do 22 but had 2 mins left on Tommy so took a risk and carried on.

10 mins spinning to see if I got a rection from the PT. Watching Tommy The Who, which I've never seen before although I've had the soundtrack for years. It’s pretty odd.
Also did a good hour of foam rolling, stretching and strength work.

PT flared up pretty badly after last weeks run so the last 7 days have been exclusively focused on stretching and strengthening. Have tried spinning but even that feels awkward. ED champs is looking unlikely so replanning for a gradual build up towards Christmas then start the winter again in January. Fingers crossed!
