Been walking on most days -would like to say knee is better but probably more accurate to say no worse

Saturday Aug 19, 2017 #
Note
On Friday rushed downstairs to retrieve already soaked washing and damaged knee again. Decided not to run but walk today but only managed a few hundred yards. Everything seems painful - not good news
Friday Aug 18, 2017 #

Tuesday Aug 15, 2017 #
off road 59:40 [3] 5.5 mi (10:51 / mi)
Ashton Court- not s great choice as tidying up after balloon fiesta in full swing so park quite messy and chaotic. Lap along edges of park - not much energy today so rather a plod. Lovely sunny day
Monday Aug 14, 2017 #
off road 58:41 [4] 6.0 mi (9:47 / mi)
Blaise Castle from main car park - had not planned for this but had the bit between my teeth and pushed quite hard from the start -a good time but a bit beaten up by the effort and could feel the knee
Sunday Aug 13, 2017 #
off road 1:14:40 [3] 6.5 mi (11:29 / mi)
Nice sunny summer's morning for loop from Blathwyat Arms -down and up hill (30.47) then round battlefield, golf and race courses. First part ok but could feel both ankle and knee so flat turned into a plod
Saturday Aug 12, 2017 #
Note
Went for a 2.5 hour walk with Charlie & Huw at Lansdown
Friday Aug 11, 2017 #
off road 1:37:00 [3] 7.5 mi (12:56 / mi)
Social run with Pete and Jo. Tinsel trot start 73 mins to top and then straight down over Burrington Ham where we got a bit lost leading to a diversion. Very tentative on the down but always enjoy trip round the Mendips
Thursday Aug 10, 2017 #
off road 1:05:22 [3] 6.0 mi (10:54 / mi)
Purdown -standard run -lovely sunny day for a change (its been wet of late) -running conditions ideal -had to run quite hard to achieve this and tired at the end. I suppose a reasonable test of where I actually am
Wednesday Aug 9, 2017 #
off road 46:53 [3] 4.0 mi (11:43 / mi)
Oldbury Court loop -very steady
Tuesday Aug 8, 2017 #
flat efforts 46:30 [4] 3.5 mi (13:17 / mi)
Downs was going to do pyramid (albeit truncated) but stiff and hamstring as bit tight so did 30,1, 1.30 & 8x 2mins and back down. Funny session, not fast but tiring towards end
Monday Aug 7, 2017 #
flat efforts 39:00 [5] 3.0 mi (13:00 / mi)
Purdown 8 x 2 mins -breathing and running was a real struggle

Day 6 Glen Feardar West Day 6
Lost 30 secs with banana to no 1 and too high going to 3 (-2mins). Ok through close controls but lost 1 min going on low route to 8 (no path -heavy heather). Ran long leg to no.9 quite well but then did not go accurately into control and lost 3 mins. Rest of course ok

Day 5 Glen Feardar East
Ankle hurt like mad, not sure whether to run or not. Must have tweaked it in the assembly field. Pre-occupied with this early in the course, then sped up.
Dropped diagonally down to 9 -reached crossing point and corrected but not actually at the one marked on map so too far east (-2.30 secs). Also lost 90 secs going to 13 when too far west. A bit slow towards end. Overall ankle hurt like hell which compromised run with late start on easy terrain
(30/92) +17.00mins

Day 4 Creag Chroinnich
Control 2 was diagonally down steep and featureless hill - went off line to wrong control (-3.5mins) -similar to no 3 -stopped and searched far too high (-3.5mins). However rest of course went quite well. Not too bad a result from early start in an area a bit too steep for me. Ankle quite sore by end of race
29/92 +16.27mins

Day 3 Brisemore Hill
Started quite quick but missed (-90secs) no 1 (silly)- annoying and off-putting rather than significant. Underestimated no 6 lost the direction, and stopped short and too far east (-3.5 mins) -quite cross and irritated . Still annoyed going up to 8 -should have attacked from top of hill but instead changed mind mid route and started to contour -could not find flag or relocate in complex area but although quite close could not relocate -went out but could not find wall. All very unprofessional -lost 14 mins. Rest of course ok but slow and unmotivated. Disappointing and 'waste' of late start
(48/94) +33.09 mins
