Arthurs seat run with Marco & Fionna. Ran up Hyman's Knoll via the climb above the Chapel, over Whinny Hill, down to Dunsapie Loch and up Nether Hill. Marco splatted himself badly on the wet rocky path descending to Pipers Walk so jogged back down the bog instead of going over the crags. Ran back via St Andrews Square. Heavy showers and blustery.

Hill walk with Tracey from Tilli up The Law, Ben Cleuch, Andrew Gannel, Tarmangie, Kingseat and back to Tilli. As much as I enjoy hill running, a hill walk is certainly more enjoyable! Still did the uphills fairly brisk. Nice outing, bright with a brisk north westerly breeze.

Note
(rest day)

Stroll up Cockleroi, cross training in the garden (mowing & chopping) and chasing Hanna on her bike round Helix Park in Falkirk seems to have helped ease the cold. Hopefully an easy run beckons tomorrow.

Hill Running 1:32:51 [4] 8.84 mi (10:30 / mi) +950m 7:52 / mi
ahr:145 max:159

Set off from Alva Glen CP, up gorse path, landrover track then direct up to Ben Ever (32.20). Wind seemed more often in the face than helping on the climb. Thankfully after the stile beyond Ben Ever it was wind behind over Ben Cleuch, Andrew Gannel, Kingseat and down to Dollar. Did a diversion off path between Cleuch and Gannel (no snow), and also back tracked to the northern gullies on Kingseat from the summit (one small patch of snow left!), then traversed round to the bizzare Kames area of Kingseat above the Banks of Dollars, which has loads of intricate rocky knolls and valleys (worth an explore). Nice run and form ok. Lungs definitely improved but still not 100% clear.

Back to the old route up Hymans Knoll, Whinny Hill, Dunsapie Loch, Nether Hill, Pipers Walk then finish up the crags. Ran back to work via St Andrews Square. Out with Marco & Fionna. Legs still feeling quite good despite lack of training. Lungs getting there. Nice and dry with a chilly east wind.

Yet another rest day. Cold worse today and suspect it's a different cold, just as I was getting over the first one! Annoying as felt quite good yesterday.

10 AM

Hill Running 1:47:12 [3] 10.6 mi (10:07 / mi) +930m 7:57 / mi

More or less same route as Monday, from Alva up the landrover track to Ben Buck, dropped down the north side of Ben Cleuch (last of the snow much diminished) and traversed across to Andrew Gannel. Headed up Kingseat cutting round north flank before heading to the summit. Descended to finish at Tilli shops. Ran with Marco. Climbed at a decent pace, legs feeling good. Just a shame lungs aren't get rid of the crap in a hurry, longest lingering cold ever. Nice day out in largely sunny conditions though a cool NW wind.

Hill Running 1:59:03 [3] 10.71 mi (11:07 / mi) +940m 8:44 / mi
ahr:137

Started from Alva Glen then up the landrover track to Ben Buck Burn. Followed the burn up and went over the Ben Buck/Cleuch shallow col. Dropped down a wide northerly spur of Ben Cleuch to about 580m where I found one of the remaining old snow patches. Traversed SE towards Andrew Gannel summit then on to Kingseat. Cut round to the north flank to check out the remaining snow in the steep gullies. Cut over the top then down to finish at Tilli shops. Hunt for the old snow a good excuse to explore off the beaten track. Kept pace relatively easy using HRM. Lungs still got a bit of crap in them though run helped clear it!

Thought a rest day was a good idea to consolidate recovery. Gutted not to be out running in the rain...
