Trail Race @ Devilla. New shoes (Asics trail shoes) + new Garmin which was helpful as they didn't put up any kilometer markers...

From the beginning it was clear I was still tired from last weekend (and this Wednesday) and it was a bit of a struggle. Eased off a little bit after 20 mins as I thought I might fade badly at the end if I didn't. Then picked up from about 35 mins and ran in reasonably well. 36/359. Dixie was just under the hour.

Had hoped for a couple of minutes faster but given rough surface and being tired I'm happy enough. If I want any good results I'll need to rest up properly first or get used to the increased training...

Splits (per mile): 6'44; 7'07; 7'14; 6'47; 6'55; 6'31; 7'05; 6'47; 6'32 and faster finish.

C • nice 3

12 kph for second half. Going to try to stop this 9+ min/mile stuff.

Switching leg extensions from eccentric (single leg) to concentric (both legs). 3 x 6 x 65kg as start point. Eccentric I was managing 3 x 6 x 45kg per single leg.

Long run... beginning to feel some benefit - moving at a better pace for much of it and tiring a lot but not slowing massively at the end.

Not actually feeling a lot better for having a double rest day. Achilles don't feel like they've benefited from it but prob. a good idea from time to time.
