Cycling 1:54:15
41.2k, +350m, 21.6kph
Found some motivation for a longer one, primarily down to the fact it wasn't horrendously windy. Nice calm morning in fact, headed out via Dalkeith CP and up through Carberry on some mtb trails, then on some gravel over to the castle. Down to the coast and back up the cycle paths, actually felt stronger as it went on, maybe the porridge digesting and kicking in.

Seat4 with Felix for the first 3. Quite warm but a bit cloudy and windy still. Also felt a bit tired and weak but the chat kept the mind off it.

2 x 30s, 2 x 45s isometrics. No pain, was half expecting the small pain on release but didn't get any which is good.

Just the core plus a little bit of hammies and shins. Achilles felt a bit worse yesterday so have let it settle with no exercises for a bit, back on some isometrics tomorrow I think, and a cycle too.

Seat5 with Felix, good chat keeping us occupied from how grim the wind was (again). Slept an hour longer than usual, only remembered just now when reading Jonny's log that the clocks changed.

Running 29:03 [2] 5.49 km (5:17 / km)
Test run. Mostly ok, just 'feelings' and hyper aware of it but no pain, 0-1. Then did get some sharper pain, 2-3, at 10mins and took a walking break, carried on and it was ok, then similar again at 20mins, and was maybe a noticeable 1-2 at the end. Better than last Sunday I think and no pain walking back up the stairs. Will see how it reacts I guess.
9 PM
Note
3 x 45s isometrics at ~3pm and again in the evening. Both times not feeling great tbh, no pain during but some pain on release and also some pain on a couple test eccentrics. Backwards a few days it would seem.

Some isometrics and eccentrics this morning, then 2 x 8ish full SL calf raises at lunch, a 1/10 pain on a few of those, then 3 x 1min isometrics in the evening and 10 full raises, better than at lunch. More good progress, test run tomorrow.

Morning seat laps with fiona, putting in some effort to keep up on the old mtb. Nice to get it out the way fairly early. Also think my HRM might have died which is sad.

Down to Cramond via getting a bit lost in Granton, then bit of a grind into a headwind along the coast. Then up the river almond path including a couple carries up/down steps (which the achilles coped with fine) and back on the cycle path. Felt pretty tired actually for some reason.

Little spin up the hermitage and round shortonhall. Letting the achilles settle, shouldn't be too long before running I don't think.

Achilles playing up, guess it was the hill sprints on Friday, but it managed a session + a couple hill sprints on Tuesday, hmm. Stuck to tarmac mostly and it seemed to come and go, but then worse on the slight uphill incline so called it a day.

Medium long on the moors, slightly longer than previous weeks. Went up to Little Holder Stones and then Two Lads so had a fair bit of terrain munching. Some quite cool mist hanging around on the tops too. Still not completely out the woods with the achilles, has felt 99% for a while, but reckon as long as I don't do anything stupid then eventually I'll forget about it.

3 x 6mins (2mins), 2 x 3mins (1min) on the canal, avg 3:41s.
Made it a bit grim for myself by having tailwind for the first two 6s and then headwind for the last 6 and 2 x 3. Wanted 3 x 3 really but was becoming an above-threshold effort to keep the paces consistent, maybe should've backed off but ah well. Finished off with 2 x 20s sprints on gradually uphill tarmac. Legs average, but happy with the calves not getting super tight, and shins all good.

Another solid long run with some steady bits, also went up the Horsehold road climb rather than the zig zags. Legs feeling very average, tired and stiff after the run back along the canal, but again improved with the tempo effort up the track to finish.

Windy one, with a bit of hail too. Checked out a new path round the bottom of Callis woods but it was a bit steep and slippy and slow. Felt a bit tired but improved.

Canal mileage, started off in heavy sleet and rain but it did brighten up a bit in the 2nd half. Legs actually felt solid enough, but I do always feel twice as likely to get injured when it's grim weather. Just me? Probably.

Easy on the moors, which have returned to full boggy winter conditions overnight. Very much sub-optimal conditions for the achilles with lots of slipping and sliding, plus a fair amount of being submerged in cold water, but it seems to have survived pretty well.

2 x 7mins (2), 2 x 3mins (2) on the canal, avg 3:42s.
Legs felt decent and next few days look like grim weather so got the session done today. Moving quite nicely but legs getting tired towards the end, just not used to the pounding on hard-ish surfaces. Did 2 strides after which felt like hard work.

Again, making the most of the decent weather, hopefully get another cycle in this week but not sure when, might have to be turbo. Also distance and pace are both a little low (same with sunday) since I didn't bother logging the 1k descent down the track at the start.

Good Sunday long run, kept it road shoes like all my recent Sundays but tried to get some decent climb in. Mostly quite gradual climbs but did think it would be more like 600 again, ah well. Quads pretty tired and domsy at the start, and more so by the end, had a good old ice bath in the stream after.

An easy spin to get some more climb in. Did 3 reps up from Withens Res to Stoney Royd which was very nice and peaceful, just stuck it in a tiny gear and spun away keeping it zone 2.

Some hills in a nice bit of afternoon sun. Hit up Stocks Ln to start with, a couple reps to halfway and then a full climb. Did overheat a bit though, and then got a bit cold as the sun dropped later on. Went up the Jerusalem Farm climb and then Jerry Fields Ln/Clunters Ln, along the top and down Cragg. Tried to take the climbs chill but easier said than done and quads a bit tired by the end. Big curry after, happy days.

Easy spin, good to be back on the bike, although nervously looking over my shoulder at everything that came past. Started noticing a little catching noise so stopped and had a look and found one side of a chain link had snapped. Interesting one. Anyway rang home and got a lift back from Hubberton.

Achilles less stiff than usual when I woke up this morning, and alright on the run, maybe a tad weak but maybe not, potentially just tight calves making things feel sub-optimal. Anyway, enjoyed a nice loop round the moors even if it was about 0° and misty.

15 x 1min (1min float) on the canal.
Bit the bullet with a more proper session. Achilles fine throughout and seems to have coped well after. Took a while to get the legs turning but fitness felt alright, legs definitely more the limiting factor than the heart and lungs. L IT band a little tight on WU but improved, both calves pretty tight after, L more so.
