Running long (Canal) 1:42:59 [4] 16.6 km (6:12 / km)
ahr:165 max:181 shoes: Saucony Grid Fusion
Wanted to go on a long run to make up for a slack few days.
Headed along the canal and off towards Balerno. With no lights on in the tunnel I looked for an alternate route, but just ended up heading back via a different route. Got a bit lost, but ended up in Slateford and rejoined the canal.
I was really slow and just couldn't get speed into my legs. Especially on the way back.
Speed training needed this week, me thinks.

Swimming long (Frontcrawl) 30:00 [4] 1.5 km (20:00 / km)
Decided I have to increase the distance.
So 30 lengths in 30 minutes.
Was much tougher than just doing the 20.

Hill-running race (Kilpatricks Hill Race) 1:06:39 [5] 9.6 km (6:57 / km) +426m 5:41 / km
ahr:181 max:188 shoes: VJ Twister
Was really nervous about this race, so thestomach got queasy as we journeyed via Glasgow.
But I really enjoyed it. Was stupidly walking far too early up the first ascend (encouraged by those around me) but tried to make up for that as best I could on the descents.
Am happy with my donwhill, but really need to work on a method of making it up the hills faster.
Overtook a number of people (7?) on the final descent.
[Garmin claimed it was 10.3km]

Legs are feeling weary and am nervous about Kilpatricks Hill Race that I've agreed to do on Wednesday evening (9.6km, 426m climb).
So am resting the legs over the next 2 days with just swimming as my form of training.

Swimming long (Frontcrawl) 18:00 [3] 0.75 km (24:00 / km)
Slow due to slow people in the lane.
Quite frustrating so stopped earlier than would have liked.
