Training Log Archive: SarahD

Steady round the woods, not feeling too bad. Managed to catch a break in the monsoon. Shame they've chosen the last couple of weeks to do forestry work - tracks are a disaster. Another pair of soggy shoes to add to the growing pile.

Control hanging at Balnagowan for training. Forest lovely, just a shame the ground's so wet.

Lucked out this morning with a 90' run in the dry and even some glimpses of sunshine. From Dinnet across the Muir a-c round Loch Kinord to BoV. Did hill reps on the track above the car park, then back round the other side of Loch Kinord taking in the dragonfly loop too. First long Friday run in ages and really enjoyed it. Lots of bird life in and around the water and everything looking beautiful as always.

4 x 4 hills again. Felt tougher today. Guess I'm not used to doing 3 sets in less than a week, but managed to grind it out. Legs didn't feel too bad on the run back.

Was going to run, but mingin morning and ran out of time at work. Probably no harm in a day off.

Short run while E swimming. Low on energy and didn't feel like doing any more.

Helped out a bit at Wed training, then tried out one of the loops for myself. Felt better than earlier.

Another set of Helen's 4x4 hills. At Kingshill. Hill levelled out a lot after 2 1/2 minutes but probably not a bad spot for them. I like this session:
1. Once you've done 2 reps you're half way there
2. There's a nice long recovery
3. You don't need to attack balls out - so good on your own
4. Certainly know that I've done something after ;-}

To and from hills.
Not impressed to see they've started charging for parking at Countesswells. Didn't have my wallet with me anyhow.

Relaxed bike with E after school. From Cambus below the quarries to the Crannach Burn, down the other side, across A93 to DW and back. Nice afternoon and good active recovery.
