Training Log Archive: Big Jon

Jog to start of training and back with Ewan.

1.5 hours getting cold coaching then 2 hours shovelling and barrowing gravel.

Steady run, early morning with Sarah down to village to buy goodies for breakfast.

3 hours shovelling gravel, heaving rocks and bridge building.

Lap of Loch Kinord with Sarah from Burn O'Vat car park. Pleasant and very mild. Left leg still got lots of aches throughout it - need to do some stretching.

Collecting controls from Glen Davan with Sarah. What a glorious little area. Left leg started easing off almost immediately once I was in the terrain.

1 hour - fruit tree hole digging, barrowing manure and knocking in fence posts. Feeling achy all over after!

Needed it after the last 2 days, lots of aches and sore bits - hopefully get over them with more training.

8x2+1 on Deeside way, flat section west of home. Upper front of left thigh felt tweaky - almost like groin, stayed steady throughout session. Left calf felt tight on stretching at end.

Down Deeside way, across Dess Burn and to start on old railway line. Both knees very painful at start - for about 5 minutes, then eased off - maybe a cycling/surveying issue and no running for over a week.
Felt pretty poor at start, sluggish and stiff, going better by end.

5 hours surveying.

4.5 hours surveying - delayed till lunch time to avoid the rain - successful, dry session and glorious sunset.

7.5 hours surveying.
