Training Log Archive: SarahD

Emotionally drained after last nights olympic antics and felt like I'd raced for the medals myself this morning. Set off from Corsedarder monument at an easy pace and after 20' or so was feeling ok. Across the caper zone and up onto Lamahip, down to FofB, across the Feugh then back up through Finzean forest. Couldn't find a map at home and made a few wee navigational errors. In ok shape by the end and nothing niggling.

Olympics have been distracting me from this the last few nights

Up to Aboyne to the games with E and back again. Felt a bit of a woos not to run the hill race but enjoyed watching others. Knackered by the time we got back - 6 x across the bog and stream and back to get both bikes and E over (bridge can't come soon enough), then a real slog back up the hill home. Reckon we've got a tough new training facility outside our back door.

From home up to Shooting Greens on the DW, hill reps, then back the same way. Back in 35'. Lovely day and a joy to be out cruising on the bike.

4 x 4'+ 4' on the hill from Slewdrum Woods sign up to road at SG. Warm up was the bike ride and a jog down to the start. Splits were 4:05, 4:07, 4:12, 4:01. Felt strong and hamstring fine whilst running.

Headed out to do some hills, but realised there was nothing in the tank, so just an easy run instead. Waved a branch above me going across the fields and buzz kept his distance. Dropped down to return by the DW.

Some moves to try and mobilise the back

Round the fields at H'head.

To the fields. Hamstrings uncomfortable again. Need to do some work on my back.

4 x 4' + 2' in Glen T. Hamstring feeling tight from start but seemed to ease off. Skipped the last rep to jog up the track with E.

Rest of the run round the Glen T 7-miler. Hamstrings feeling uncomfortable again after intervals, but suspect it's my back that's the problem.

Hamstring not sore at all in stretching.

Back to work. Couldn't be bothered to go for a wee jog at lunch time.
