Conditioning25:00 [3]
Jessie Diggins conditioning - 20 x 45sec exercise, 15 sec rest, plus some weights and other exercises. Still a long way to get to the serene perfection of a well conditioned core specialist, but gradually transitioning away from giving birth noises...

Road Running race 5:18 [5] 1.0 mi (5:18 / mi) +10m5:08 / mi
Scottishathletics virtual 1 mile time trial. Out and back course in Avalon Gardens with a small loop at the far end. Finished with 100m in the industrial estate. Set out quick and worked pretty hard. Not the fastest of courses with the slight uphill on the way out but as fast as could be done close to home. Target had been sub 5.20 so happy enough. Just can't run any faster these days though newer racing flats would help! Decent conditions with little wind though quite humid. Got eight Carnethy folk running so at least got a team this time, and a decent masters team.

Williamcraigs double hills out & back. Quite the opposite of Saturday, a grey rainy day and felt quite lethargic, so just relaxed and set quite a slow pace.
