Intervals hills 20:00 [5]
4x5+5 on hill from car park at Deeside Activity Park to top gate. First two felt almost easy (checking out right groin that had tweaked slightly during sprints on Monday), then started pushing harder and last one pretty intense.
5-05. 5-09, 4-58, 4-45. Must try this a few times over the winter - a good hill and a decent session for endurance.

steady run 45:00 [3]
Glen Tanar with Deeside Runners, 2 Bridges loop, lots of sore bits (pilates....) but once running felt good and happy with reasonably brisk pace. All day on computer drawing map had me feeling pretty groggy and washed out by 5pm, but a hunt for our broody hen helped clear my head (found her after 40mins... in the first place they laid eggs when we got them back in March!).

steady run 39:00 [3]
Had planned a rest day but weather so nice on return from Lakes that I had to go for a run - easy jog along Deeside Way to Pitmurchie Road, up to mansion house, across fields and reverse of normal Dess Loop, past Iain's house and waterfall, went to bridge and forced myself to run (slowly) all way up to home. Legs still got heavy drained feel - I guess last weekend and surveying was too much.

Local event at Creag Choinnich - Brown course despite legs complaining. Pushed as hard as possible and clean till second last - drifted right and lost approx 30-40 secs. Pleased to ber only 2 mins down on John R and ahead of Callum R. V ery tired and hungry after - glad there wasn't a request for help with control collecting....

Up to start to check for control descriptions, then back to asembly and up later with Ewan. A bit of a grovel back from finish - really struggling by then.
