Inside running were talking about singles vs doubles today and generally echoed my feelings - singles are generally better for endurance but beyond a certain point they start to become a bit unwieldy in terms of recovery. Doubles are generally easier and spread the load a bit more evenly through the week - useful when the overall load is high.

Loop through Tentsmuir and out to the south. Only run this loop once before but it is very good - generally quiet, almost zero road and options of big or little tracks for most of the way.

Quads still feeling a bit sore from Scheihallion at the weekend - not used to the descent.

1.35, 1.15, 0.95, 0.65, 0.48, 0.30 km in various loops. 90-100s recovery.
James back, a good group of young guys and a short session combined for a bit of a shock to the system. Managed to get faster on each rep though which is nice.
