ahr:145

Hill session on Fisher's Brae - 6 x 1km (70 - 75s)
Started at the start of the flat bit and turned at the post above the farm so flat, up, down, flat. Good session. Times - 3.55, 3.57, 3.58, 3.58, 3.56, 3.55

Road Running 23:59 [1] 2.73 mi (8:47 / mi) +60m 8:13 / mi
ahr:117

Farm loop with Hanna. Nice cool morning. First run in superfeet insoles (hopefully phase out knackered orthotics, and even better, hopefully, knackered ankles).

Road Running 43:05 [2] 5.16 mi (8:21 / mi) +160m 7:37 / mi
ahr:126

Airngarth and back via Fisher's Brae. Just ran relaxed and was probably the slowest I've run the route, though luckily HR was low too. Definitely felt like ankles could flex a bit better, making it easier to run with a shorter more relaxed stride. Being able to run slower I'll take as a good thing!

Road Running 24:55 [2] 2.99 mi (8:20 / mi) +110m 7:29 / mi

Walk from Glendevon to the upper Reservoir, then round the Ben Cleuch, Ben Buck, Windfarm loop. Really nice sunny day with a cool brisk east wind. All the snow now gone, sounds like last patch on Kingseat went yesterday.

Road Running 19:46 [1] 2.31 mi (8:33 / mi) +30m 8:13 / mi
ahr:119

Usual local streets route with Hanna. Lovely morning. Her base pace is creeping up again (without straining) which is a good sign having gone through a fair bit of growth. Nice start to the day.

Road Running 40:48 [3] 5.15 mi (7:55 / mi) +160m 7:14 / mi
ahr:134

Airngarth and back via Fisher's Brae. Had a cyclist pursuing me up Fisher's Brae but he kept dropping back on the actual hills.

Warm up to the top road plus strides

ahr:137

Session on the top road - 4min, 2 x 3min, 3 x 2min, 4 x 1min (1min recs)
Cool and breezy (from the east) so the trending uphill reps were into the wind. Really needed this session and ankles felt the benefit from faster running, almost like a mobilisation effect. Got quite tough as things progressed though HR didn't really peak that high.

Road Running 10:26 [3] 1.52 mi (6:52 / mi) +20m 6:36 / mi

Warm down home

ahr:130

Steady along Avalon Gardens, up Bo'ness road to Airngarth, down golf course, loop in Kinneil then back via Fisher's brae. Nice bright, slightly frosty morning. Not nice being back from holiday! Added sorbothane heal raises which helped ease the usual achilles issues.

Walking 4:16:00 [1] 13.33 mi (19:12 / mi) +820m 16:07 / mi

Family walk from Achlean in Glen Feshie up Mullach Clach a'Bhlair via the valley and landrover track. Was quite breezy in the valley but not too bad on top, though misty above 900m. Set a good pace. River crossings were fun, including undercut path close to being washed away. Great end to a great week.

Walking 2:46:00 [1] 7.38 mi (22:30 / mi) +530m 18:23 / mi

Family walk from Dorback up Geal Charn. Initial landrover track then Heather trod which became nice short heather higher up. Rained a bit for first hour then bright by the finish. Got good views to the snowy Cairngorms. First new Corbett for quite some time.

1 PM

Trail Running 52:11 [3] 6.08 mi (8:35 / mi) +170m 7:54 / mi
ahr:136

T & H fancied a walk in the woods at Carrbridge so good place to do a last run. Looped round the flat before heading up and over Docharn Criag. Great running on tired legs, though put in a decent climb. Nice and sunny/mild.

Thursday Apr 14, 2022 #

7 AM

Walking 3:48:00 [1] 9.65 mi (23:38 / mi) +740m 19:05 / mi

Family walk From Glen Banchor up A'Chailleach & Carn Sgulain. Went up the direct route and came back via the col to the west of A'Chailleach. The initial climb and descent from the col were exceptionally boggy following a wet day and due to melting snow. The best walking was in the extensive snowfields on Carn Sgulain. Weather was good, dry with very little wind. The valleys had cloud but it was largely clear on the hills. Saw no one the whole walk which is very unusual for Munros these days though suspect most folk were likely doing the three clockwise.

2 PM

Trail Running 37:58 [3] 4.51 mi (8:25 / mi) +190m 7:27 / mi
ahr:128

Easy ish run up into the Burnside woods, up to a loop on the top path and back. Nice to run in t shirt and shorts. Felt OK.

Walking 2:34:00 [0] 8.64 mi (17:49 / mi) +260m 16:18 / mi

Family walk from Coylumbridge up Glen Einich turning at the track loop. Rainy day so quiet again, but nice to be out and cloud was high enough to see some views.

1 PM

Trail Running 56:41 [3] 7.09 mi (8:00 / mi) +130m 7:34 / mi
ahr:133

Run along the Pine Martin, turning at the tunnel, and back via the Speyside Way. Path was badly flooded near the end so had to do a diversion through an industrial estate.

10 AM

Hill Running 1:02:42 [3] 7.26 mi (8:38 / mi) +380m 7:26 / mi
ahr:143

Parked near Dalnahaitnach Road end west of Carrbridge and ran a clockwise hill loop on the tracks up and down Carn Sleamhuinn. Very runnable gradient both up and down. Track above 600m had soft snow right across which made it hard work. Not a single footprint which indicates how quiet the route is. Sunny and fairly warm lower down. Strong pace all the way round.

9 AM

Hill Running 40:22 [3] 4.77 mi (8:28 / mi) +280m 7:09 / mi
ahr:136

Ran back to Lynwilg on the Burma Road. Loved the swooping fast descent though don't get that much chance to run that fast downhill these days. Drove round to the Slochd to pick up T & H who'd had a cracking walk.

Run at Beecraigs from the old visitor centre car park, down to the loch, then a loop via Witchcraigs and Cockleroi. Was pretty wet & windy and NB10180s were really bad coming off Witchcraigs in particular, bambi on ice. Nice to get a Beecraigs run in for a change though.
