Great run, felt heavy legged at start but plodded along. Lovely forest in Cambus/Muir of Dinnet. Strted to tire by Balnagowan - checked watch (for first time) 2 hours.

DNC Balmedie
First DNC of the season. Running was dreadful ;- legs stuffed from exercises and yesterday's intervals, esp up hill in terrain - and there was lots of that in the dunes...
Navigation was mostly OK, but struggling to read map a bit. Map in the blow-out areas is shockingly wrong - whole hills moved, appeared, disappeared...
Lost 3 mins at No6 and then some more at 9, 12 etc.

Intervals 21:00 [5]
Fartlek round Dess Woods with S (weather too minging to be on the railway line!). 8 intervals of varying length, but most fairly long. Felt I was struggling leg speed wise - possibly combination of pilates and running club yesterday. Stuck in and felt strong on hills - at least till near the end when I struggled a bit.

Out and back and then a bit more after.

Pilates 1:00:00 [1]
Last session till Jan
sitting on my heels is much better on the left knee now - had a lot of tightness behind the knee recently - another benefit of glute exercises?

Aboyne Ac running club. 18 out plus RC and IW. Out to castle sounds and some sprints plus man-hunt then back. Lovely evening sky with late after-glow of sunset. Hardly needed the head torch.
Very brisk warm-up and some sprinting but no trace of calf problems.
