Steady run up onto Cairn Daimh from the cottage with the girls. Really enjoyable and my bum (which still felt uncomfortable during the w-u) eased off fine. I sensed some nerves from the girls as we set off, but they all did really well and I think they surprised themselves.
Good post run soak in the hot tub and sauna and an ice bath for the legs in the plunge pool. Another fun w/e with a great bunch of youngsters.

Hanging controls and shadowing at Anagach. Wonderful forest.
Felt ok running, but spasms down through my bum / hip walking back to the car.

Wasn't sure I'd be able to do this session as my bum was really giving me some gyp but it eased off on the warm up. 6 x 1' steep hills with jog back recovery. Others did 8 but my legs were completely jellied.

Along the track to the hill to do some reps and back after.

Wee jog from Wild Farm cottage. On my own as I had to pick up C + J. Just went out along the track then turned round and back the same way. Pretty wild but it blew away the cobwebs after a stressful work week.
Strange pain high in my right hip that I first noticed last night - sitting awkwardly on the train I reckon.

Going through the perfect 10 with the TS.

Long day in Embra

DNC round 1 at Bell Wood. Mainly smooth and steady run up to no 15 where I missed by 2.5' stopping short before the control and getting confused by the ditches. Other than that a few small wobbles and dubious route choices, but generally happy with the way I was Oing, making positive decisions and trusting my compass. Just need to do all that a bit quicker I guess!

Not much more w-u than to the start

Mingin outside, so decided to stay in the woods and do some hills. Short ones to try and overcome my JF plod that I seem to have got so comfortable with. From gate above DAP did 2 sets of 6 x 1' + 1' with jog back part way between each, and back down to the gate between sets. Not fully recovered from the w/e but felt good enough to work hard and get the hr up. Really enjoyed this session. Best quality since pre JF and it made me feel much more +ve about training again.

To and from hill reps and jog back between sets.

Defo feeling more flexible again, even after hill reps
