RPE: 5

at birchen edge with neil, tim, gareth, robin, jen and kelly. haven't climbed outside for at least 2 years (or inside for almost that long!) so took a while to regain confidence in my grip. Managed all 4 routes we tried despite thinking i wouldnt: VD, S and 2 VS's. lots of fun and didn't even get sun burned! thanks neil and tim :)

parked at wyming brook and ran a nice loop round redmires and the sportsman avoiding as much road as possible. not feeling too bad and only coughed a bit. Saw a guy dressed in white being filmed doing tight rope on top of a hill...

not coughing so much now :) will see how i feel later on and consider an L! run.

decided that another rest day was in order. in the end didn't get much time for running anyway as was busy chopping and cooking and swapping clothes!

coughing so much i had to sleep downstairs. dammit.

RPE: 4

developed a cough through the afternoon and felt pretty rubbish so just collected night controls at greno instead of running. glad i did as felt dreadful so did a lot of walking. actual time out was longer than this but can't really justify any more of it as training!
cough got worse through evening so going to move fridays rest day to tomorrow. hoping this isn't pippa's cold finally manifesting itself but it does seem like it... :(
RPE: 3

found it a really tough session tonight: 3 x {500, 400, 300, 250} with 70s between reps and 3:30 between sets. the first 2 sets went well then i died on the last 400 and struggled to the end. probably still tired from latvia. good to have some speed in the legs :)

got home about 2:30 and feel very jetlagged today despite the time difference only being 2 hours! lack of sleep i guess. had fun listening to the 2 daves playing "what if..." at the airport :)
