Training Log Archive: Big Jon

With S from Tarland road high point (north of Lumpohanan) over hills to NE and ending up at Kirkton of Tough. I wasn't feeling very tough at all, mostly just very weary. Some heavy heather at times.

Back on MTB to van. Lots of uphill but just got into a decent low gear and spun it out.
Legs definitely stuffed by the surveying.

rest day - feeling pretty tired.

Could probably have put half of this as swimming - parts of the area are just like a giant sponge...
Got a chunk done then left for home early to avoid darkness and bad roads. Traffic mostly light (apart from A9) and roads all good and black.

C • Was that your car? 2

A long day but lovely weather - blue skies and snow on the hills around. Got a decent chunk done :-)

More hills, brash, rock and some rain showers :-)
Feeling fairly fresh and not too tired by end. Just as well since 2 more days to go.

Rest day

Academy run club. 28 youngsters! With RC and WB, Tarland Way, 8 x short hills - 4 out and back then 4 stop start up to road. Managed to do a few surges but with slows at back and track was crowded!
