Running 33:41 [3] 5.63 km (5:59 / km) +140m 5:19 / km
slept:5.5 weight:74kg (sick) shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 20
Legs pretty heavy from yesterday as expected. Short recovery jog by a reasonably undulating route. Generally going ok up but knees not so happy down. Really struggling with humidity today - think my cold has worsened somewhat, and corresponds with fairly high heart rate compared to previous few weeks.

Running 2:10:49 [3] 23.03 km (5:41 / km) +340m 5:17 / km
slept:6.0 weight:74kg shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 20
Definitely feeling tired and hot weather and strong headwind ALL the way made this tough.
Off the train at Pontyclun, loop around to Miskin, up through Hensol and then across to Bridgend via the back roads.
As per last week, just wishing it to be over for the last 8k and not helped by the wind being much stronger in the estate around what's currently the Ford factory. Legs and rest of me really feeling it after 4 consecutive days of 10k+ tarmac.
Have now planned how to link up my last 2 runs in the vale (Porthkerry and Penarth), but there's no way I'm putting myself through another 20k of tarmac tomorrow so it will have to wait. Map below shows fairly good percentage of total mileage now joined up now - just one 30k run Ledbury to Gloucester would do most of the rest.

Running 1:05:27 [3] 11.21 km (5:50 / km) +340m 5:04 / km
slept:4.5 shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 20
Returning the courtesy car to the garage. Sounds like car should be fixed for when I'm back on Wednesday.
Ran home via Mountain Road but took a different route than I planned so ended up at the cattle grid by Twmbarlwm, having gone up an incredibly steep hill.
Feeling pretty tired - week of trains being messed up and far too much road running, didn't have much to put in today.

Running 1:00:41 [3] 10.03 km (6:03 / km) +155m 5:37 / km
slept:5.0 shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 20
Car still not fixed... so Brynglas as the last place left to run. Feeling tired today so not going very hard. Reasonably big hill up to Brynglas.
Guessing the way off the other side and some of the off-road alleyways were a bit too dark and rough to run. Only really just about light enough on the cycle path at the bottom but a great view of a huge moon at the far end of the valley beyond Caerleon.

slept:5.0 shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 20
Car still not fixed so more roads from home. Duffryn and Bassaleg tonight so leaves just Brynglas and Malpas before I've done every direction in a fortnight.
Slow pace to start down the hill but found an extra gear along Forge Lane so the second half was reasonably quick for similar effort.

Running - off road (MDC Tintern) 1:30:24 [3] 10.21 km (8:51 / km) +395m 7:25 / km
slept:5.0 shoes: inov8 Mudclaw300 Dayglo/Blk
MDC run from Tintern. A new route to the west taking in Barbadoes Wood/Botany Bay and then down to Fedw Wood.
Actually quite a nice route with some good single track paths. Some lively cattle in the fields but avoided the worst.
None of the group ahead of me waited at a fairly key junction about 1k from the end so left 7 of us guessing the way back and eventually did via some descending through terrain (it wasn't as bad as expected). Really not a good show from a safety perspective - could easily have lost people tonight.
