O intervals at Bell Wood. 15 legs of ~ 1', with 1' recovery at each control. Worked well - had successfully planned it stay in the nicest bits of the wood. Controls were relatively straight forward, so that I didn't gain too much recovery relocating. A bit wobbly in the circle on a few, but stopped pretty much bang on and then relocated to the control site within 10 secs or so. Haven't run as hard in terrain for a while - maybe that's why I've got a sore bum / lower back this evening.

Warm-up and down before and after O intervals round Bell Wood.

Chasing after E on his bike along the Deeside Way from the gliding strip. Can't keep up with him any more, but fortunately he keeps stopping for a rest.

Cycled with J + E from home over the Pitmurchie road, L to Lumphanan, then back by DAP. Steady pace and nice to get out and catch a break in the rain.

12 x 1' + 1' hill reps up the Fungle, R at the Guard and L at the big pine. Felt much better for having had a couple of rest days. Track has been badly washed out by all the recent rain storms and the burn has been flooding over the bank. Drains are completely full of wash out.
From the top of the hill went on to do some......

training on the complex bit at the top of the Birsemore map above the Guard. Tiny area, but fitted in 10 controls zig-zagging across it. Had to read all the detail to get it right. Very hesitant at times, but flowing better in other bits. Good quality session.

Added in a loop round the Loch at the start and stopped to pick some chanterelle on the way back. Shame about the rain, but at least it helped keep me cool.

Rest Day

Rest Day

12 x 1' + 1' on tracks at Hazlehead. Should have done more but feeling really sluggish. Think I'll take a couple of days off and see if I can train better at the weekend.

Rest Day
Driving home with E. Short walk down to the Falls of Rogie and some more blaeberry picking.
