Shooting Greens local event. Long course - 5.1km of tough forest and hill. Managed to hold O-ing together despite tiredness and even managed to run up some of the big hill! Course could have been nicer and more technical but good work out.
steady run warm up/down 15:00 [3]
Alright - all warm-up, warm-down a stagger to the car!
Lochnagar with HP, Oleg, Sasha and Evgueni.
Well HP and I took it easy up hills and were left for dead by the others! Led Sasha off after Oleg headed off to Broad Cairn and others.
Gle nTanar 2 Bridges loop, chasing Ewan (on his bike). Pacey at times and pretty fast overall. Knees started OK, but right one felt a bit strange - like the muscles all round it were tired and struggling to hold it steady. I much prefer terrain running.
Wee jog round Hill of Banchory. Knees feeling pretty decent and I felt running style was smoother from the off.

Matwork session. Mostly good.

Shadowing HP round Birsemore Hill. Superb day - warm and sunny. Beautiful forest and nice short course. Knees felt great for most of run - off road might be helping but perhaps exercises are starting to have an effect.
