Recovery run round the back of the castle, taking Jamie on his bike.

Followed the Ochil 2000 route from Glen Devon, missing out Kings Seat, The Law, Ben Buck, Ben Ever and then running back to Greenloaning Sheriff Muir Road back to Braco, rather than to Dumyat.

Calf tweaked after Innerdowie so took it pretty steady on the hills. need to make sure strong enought do race next week.

Innerdownie 611m 34 min 7.42 m/k
Andrew Gannel Hill 670m 46 min 7.08 m/k
Ben Cleuch 721m 10 min 6.55 m/k
Blairdennon Hill 631m 37 min 7.21 m/k
To Road 18 min 6.14 m/k
Back to Braco 32 min 5.29 m/k

Not the 32km but then not on roads, good to be out for race time.

3 laps of the uni loch with Abi, Ross, Jon, Fi

8:31 2.3km 3:40m/k
8:23 3:37m/k
8:23 3:37m/k

4 min rests - felt tired but kept going at reasonable pace ( on for sub 2:30 if I could keep it going! hats off to to people that can.

warm up and down and standing around!

Finally dragged myself out at 6.30 to match Jon's efforts from the day before. Undulating route to Gleneagles around the golf course and back on the back road.

Splits
1) 10 km 43:17 (4:20 m/k)
2) 20km 42:00 (4:12 m/k)

This would have delivered a sub 3 hour with decent head wind and some track and paths thrown in.

This feels much more like it and can see the light at the end of the tunnel and a chance of doing a respectable time in 6 weeks.

This is my last Marathon so might as well make the effort.

C • But every marathon I run is... 2
