running 1:45:00 [3] 8.7 mi (12:04 / mi) +225m 11:10 / mi

Not illegal because I'm allowed to coach Evie who is probably under 18 for all I know. She had a plan to do pen y Ghent but there was a blizzard and we were cold and I was struggling so we turned back down into Littondale. The mile through the fields in the valley took forever.

hill running 1:03:00 [3] 4.1 mi (15:22 / mi) +500m 11:09 / mi

Eildon Hills on the way to Edinburgh. Pleasantly sunny and warm. Struggled with the first hill straight out of the car but felt better as I went on. Lovely.

Thursday Dec 17, 2020 #

running 45:00 [3] 4.5 mi (10:00 / mi)

1.5 x Parkside mile. Feeling pretty tired and hence eating crap all day so I wasn't really expecting much. As it turned out I was ok on the way out, 8:06 and that was probably 2 or 3 seconds further than normal (stupid GPS). On the way back I climbed pretty well but the crap I had eaten all day made itself felt and I was forced to slow to a jog. After some relieving of the pressure I put an extra effort in up HIghbury Mount to make up for it.
