Bike - Mountain 53:41 18.79 km (2:51 / km) +81m 2:48 / km
ahr:128 max:152
Stiff this morning, shuffling around, but not painful. Opted for a nice easy bike to loosen out a bit. Up the Taff trail a bit and messing around, nice to be out but too many pedestrians who don't understand the concept of a shared cycle/footpath - would they let their kids/dogs run around like that on a road??? I hate traffic lights.

Run - Trail 4:45:07 47.63 km (5:59 / km) +1060m 5:23 / km
ahr:148 max:168 shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite
Longest run I've ever done and it was very enjoyable for the mast part, though the second half did hurt quite a bit. Amazing day to be out and it was fun to explore a completely new route, though there was a bit too much on forest roads for my legs liking. Pretty spent by the end.
Lots of little ups and downs but nothing serious after the first hill (which I intentionally got out of the way at the start) so kept moving okay for the whole thing, heart rate was still higher than it should have been though. Think I spent about 15 minutes (not timed) stationary - mostly eating.
Surprising how many people were out enjoying the sunshine, especially cycling on the National Cycle Route (Shminty must be doing a good job) and even saw another runner! PB for marathon also set (4.09.10 I think).

(rest day)
Long run planned in the sunshine tomorrow and as I still wasn't quite right last night I didn't want to over do it.

Run - Trail 1:09:16 9.31 km (7:26 / km) +442m 6:01 / km
ahr:144 max:177
Hills on Craig-yr-Allt, well sort of, I still wasn't feeling 100% so didn't push all that hard, heart rate was particularity high though. Lovely evening out and the views were great from the top, happy to be feeling a bit better running again. Forgot my shoes so borrow (a slightly big) pair of X-talons, comfortable fit, light and good grip but very thin soles meant you could feel every stone - how do people orienteer in these???

Feeling a touch off colour all day, not actually ill but not right either. Planned to have it easy today anyways.

ahr:138 max:196 shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite
MDC run from St Brides, massive crowd out on a blustery but dry evening. Still feeling way off colour and pottering along was as much as I could manage. A little bit more of the coast path ticked off.

Run - Trail 1:27:05 15.35 km (5:40 / km) +201m 5:20 / km
ahr:144 max:211 shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite
Run from Charles' in Bristol with the man himself, Mark and Ben. Started feeling pretty good but as soon as I tried to push a little harder on the first hill I realised that my body was still a bit broken, so just took it very easy from then on. Was spent by the end, run was twice as long as my body was capable of doing. Not a nice feeling, nice run though.
