Pre-Breakfast SLR round Morton Hall. Another very big squad out. Lovely wealthy and felt quite good. No Bonk = Happy Nobbie.

10km Progression Round Meadows

3:59, 56, 49, 45, 36, 33, 32, 21, 26, 08

Pre-Breakfast made this a pretty horrific experience. Quite dehydrated and just didn't have any energy. Still ground out an ok pace. Last 6km was tempo or under so got some good work done. Definitely could do this session better at another point in the day but sadly revision has to take priority.

Very horrible weather round the meadows. Again some good company so not to terrible. Practiced some rugby with Tim and todge.

Very dark hermitage with Tim, Ali, Callum and peds. Felt very meh, been quite a rough day but at least I had some really nice company.

Early morning pre breakfast seat with Tom and Max. Did 3 climbs (crags, tourist path & climb from loch) then a couple of laps of KF and finally up APO and round the back of the seat. Surprisingly no bonk and felt quite good on the climbs. Right knee was a little bit sore on some of the road which is a bit odd.

KF Session: 4x8min (2)
Bit of a grim one this evening. Wind back to normal which was nice, meant less confusion. Went with Alex on the first rep. Finished feeling ok but pace was definitely faster than usual. Let him go a little on the 2nd still feeling ok and pace for me was the same as the first rep. Really started to bonk on the 3rd but pace still stayed the same (3:19,3:19,3:21/km pace for 1st 3 reps). Alex then pulled off (the bastard) because of his taper. This left me leading the way on the last. Already felt finished after 3 but just pushed on, effort by this point wasn’t far off race, some very strange noises were coming out of my mouth but somehow the pace stayed the same. It wasn’t pretty and it definitely wasn’t threshold, but I got the job done and won the mental battle so I’m happy!

Didn’t shit myself this week. Great success.
