Path/Terrain 31:14 [2] 6.85 km (4:34 / km) +36m 4:27 / km
shoes: Asics 33-DFA
Nice walk with the family in the morning and then headed out for a run once lunch had digested. Absolutely effortless loop round familiar old roads. Nice to feel so fresh and finish off a decent few weeks of training.
However
It's hard to pretend that I'm not carrying a bit of a worrying injury. Unsuspectingly allowed a graze on my foot to get infected and I think this infection has spread onto my tendon sheeth for my big toe's tendon. The reason I think this is because it's looking a bit inflamed and red, as well as being sore and very stiff. The good thing is that it really hasn't effected my running much but I think continuing training hard will only lead to complications that eventually will. So rest/easy days this week and doctors tomorrow, hopefully I'll get a proper diagnosis with some good news and antibiotics, but really can't believe how easily I am picking stupid little things like this up recently. Tendon sheet problems on their own are rare, and from what I've heard, initiation by mucky cuts is a rare cause of an already rare event... Grrr..
At least I had preplanned a bit of an off week and won't be missing out on too many planned sessions.

Road warm up/down 17:21 [2] 3.8 km (4:34 / km) +27m 4:25 / km
shoes: Salomon Sense Pro
Wasn't sure what to do today, just needing to finish off this hard week one way or another. So eventually decided to give the TT a bash.

Path/Terrain race 14:13 [4] 3.67 km (3:52 / km) +117m 3:20 / km
shoes: Salomon Sense Pro
A wee bit too windy for a decent time but only 20s off the Gainz Train and Jamaican so not a bad effort. Got some segments under my belt but Strava didn't pick up on the overall EUOC TT segment! RAGE

Had more in mind but legs were ruined and wouldn't enjoy it. Headed back the long way instead.

(rest day) shoes: Brooks Puregrit 3
With the bull on the killing fields and bog. Last exam done today, and thought I would be buzzing with energy, but was pretty destroyed in the end. Still had a bash at the Dragonback and got a PR but still not close to Dan, needed some more grip for that. Time to relax and focus on good trainings.

Path/Terrain 14:55 [2] 3.19 km (4:41 / km) +11m 4:36 / km
shoes: Inov-8 F-Lite 252
Lap of meadows with Jacob and Paul, first time with them both oddly enough, and then off to gym. Ran into a branch which got me square in the eye, gave me a good waking up.

S+C/Drills/Plyo/Flex 1:00:00 [0]

Pretty standard, more explosive stuff to WU.
20 pull ups
4 x 8 OH Press, 25kg - hard today...
3 x 8 BS at 70% (56kg), felt disgusting
Then a good amount of core and rolling.

Path/Terrain 7:38 [2] 1.56 km (4:54 / km)

A bit crippled, had planned an easy day but didn't expect the courses to be this long, nor my legs to feel so good. Easy day tomorrow now, with a final push at the weekend before chilling out next week. Really need it, feel like I'm not far off another injury.

Path/Terrain long 1:40:43 [3] 18.92 km (5:19 / km) +583m 4:37 / km
shoes: Brooks Puregrit 3
A real pre-breakfast fat burner. 3 climbs of the seat; crags, purko's arete and MFD. Really poor efforts today and was mainly focussing on not slipping or breaking my tempo. This proved hard on a muddy MFD and eventually I had to take a wee walk, embarrassing. Had enough after this so hit Whinny, Holyrood Park, Duddingston, Insch, KB, Marchmont, back. Wrecked by the end, not sure how I'll keep awake for my 2:30pm exam.

After a long day in the library this was welcomed. Down to killing fields and drills.

Path/Terrain intervals 45:33 10.65 km (4:17 / km) +50m 4:11 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 190
This looked grim on paper but ended up being awesome. Didn't have my usual dodgy stomach and legs didn't feel too worse for wear. Cruising at the front on my own with Andy not far off behind, but since we turned round after every rep there were always people to chase down which was great. Killing fields were still but saturated tonight.

Stomach went and was a struggle. Power cut as soon as I got home, so had to wait about an hour to shower, and until 9 oclock to have dinner that I eventually got from a takeaway....
