Training Log Archive: Big Jon

A93 lay-by - west side of Loch K, old drove road, Cambus, Cnoc Dubh, back, plus a trip back to the red-currant bush :-)
Feeling pretty rubbish at start but warmed up into it. Lovely descent again from Cnoc Dubh on MTB track.

O course at Potarch (tapes only). Ran it hard, like an event and pleased with navigation (though a lot of track running due to planning avoiding the worst bracken. Couldn't find tape at 6, but on correct hilltop - a lot of bracken/thick trees and rounded hill...
Legs not too bad, limited more by breathing/heart/lungs than leg strength.
Would have gone for a dip after but river was getting awful busy by mid-day so just went home instead.

A wee bitty warm-up... would have done more but felt Ok and wanted to get into the course :-)

Hanging tapes at Glen Dye for EC. Tough running at start but felt strong and really enjoyed the session. Then went blaeberry picking while E ran the course :-)

Potties - lovely warm evening and only one other swimmer.

With S up Morrone then bailed down big track and back to Braemar. Utterly stuffed after intervals, nothing in legs and breathing crap as well. Oh well what a waste of effort.

Dinnet 5x4+2. Legs feeling quite good and felt strong over whole session.

Boghead cp to Dinnet and back. Very humid, taps aff for most of session.

Lumphanan bowl, x-roads - garland road - Sundayswells- Pitmurchie road - home. A bit of rain early and at end, but nothing too much or too cold. Legs feeling tired on uphills, not sure why.
