Training Log Archive: Big Jon

rest day - feeling pretty drained and a poor night sleep - lower right back was painful off and on through the night. Fine today with digging... not sure what caused it.

Devil's Burden
3rd leg with TR, set off steady, bad miss about 5 mins into it - took an unmarked track (on the "taped route" - (WTF) then steady work all way round.
Pleased with how legs stood up to pounding - esp the 5km track run back.

Bits of warm-up felt Ok in legs from the start :-)

rest day

Tough session (replacement for Monday). Using small weighted balls - tried the new 1.5kg (others are 0.5kg)... big difference.

DNC Forvie, north end. A bit tricky for first half then got more technical and physical. A couple of little wobbles early on then a stoping short at 11 - cost me maybe 1 min then brain fade from last control to finish and lost over 1 min - let E past me... Probably best chance of the season to beat him!
Legs felt strong early on then back stiffened up (too much heather) and O struggled later on.

Decent warm-up along small paths.

Deeside runners, Tarland way hills - did half set, so 6x 90secs, jog back, equal recovery, plus a couple of 30 secs from bridge on return - to make it to double figures :-)
Legs not too bad but sensible to cut short - running Devil's Burden leg 3 on sat so no point hammering myself too hard.

its a long way to start of hills!

After-school running club. 15 out plus RC, WB and SR. Sprints -30, 45, 60, 90, 60, 45, 30 with about equal recovery. Stick hte boot in on a few of them, seemed to have decent leg turnover - for a short distance at least :-)
