Spinning 2:08:48 [2] +577m
shoes: Nike Pegasus 34
Morning ride with Felix.
53.7km / 25.0kph (less than 21kph for the 1st hour)
Didn't think it would be very icy......but I was wrong. Headed out to north pentlands, with a couple of navigational errors getting out of Edinburgh. Then once we were out we soon realised the mistake we'd made. The lanes were covered in sheet frost/ice and the main roads hadn't even been gritted. Spent a solid 20mins crawling along a lane doing about 10kph. The result was a dismal average speed for the first hour. In the second half we headed back into Edinburgh and out to Portobello. Absolutely yeeting it for the last our averaging close to 30kph. Was very bonky by the end. A stressful but enjoyable ride.

Running 15:00 [2] 3.38 km (4:26 / km)

Alter-G WU
Running 29:00 [4] 7.94 km (3:39 / km)
shoes: Under Armour Charge Bandit 3
Alter-G Session: 5x5mins (1)
70% Bodyweight / 4% Incline
5mins @ 3:30/km
Happy with this. Felt very comfortable, could definitely haver gone faster but decided to chill at a threshold pace. Hard to compare to normal running because technically done at a weight of 50kg, but I think with the 4% incline added in it was roughly similar to normal running. I hope it was anyway because if so this would be very encouraging. Shin also less noticeable than the last couple of times. Won't push it to much yet but I'm hopeful I might be able to make the camp next week.

Watt Bike. Feeling very tired today and motivation was at an all time low. Luckily had Roanne for the last 30mins, actually felt better near the end. That will be all today.

AlterG
70% Bodyweight / 4% incline
Could feel shin for whole thing but just felt a bit tight. Put a little 20min Progression in (4:00/km —> 3:45/km). Felt v comfortable on that. Weirdly couldn’t feel shin walking about after. Possibly a good sign.

Swimming 30:12 [1]
Fist time swimming (other than a Swedish Lake) since 2013. Bit of a shock to the system. 30mins felt more than enough. Was a very nobly walk home.

Running 50:43 [2] 11.5 km (4:25 / km)
shoes: Nike Pegasus 34
First time on the Alter-G
70% Body weight/ 4% incline
Really good. Much better than any other type of cross training. 70% felt like normal running (just with a lean body). Shin pain was probably 2/10 noticeable but not uncomfortable. Switched it up to 80% for the last 5mins. Big difference from 70% but shin wasn’t noticeably worse. Doing this again on Thursday and possibly on Saturday.
