Starting heel raise exercises again.
10 x 2-footed heel raises with 5 second hold. This was completely pain free and seemed too easy. Progress to stage 2 tomorrow.

Shortest (technical) course on offer at Carlingford Mountain was 4.5km and therefore decided not to try orienteering. Instead jogged to/from start and around the car park and finish area. Total about 20 mins in 5 min batches. Achilles feeling fine.
Really disappointed not to be able to run one of the SHI courses and compare myself in the very testing (low visibility) conditions.
Edit: just seen James Logue's result at Edale. Thank goodness for M50!

Event: Senior Home International, Carnawaddy / Carlingford Mountain
 

In Ireland, team managing the England SHI team. Hope to get a short run out on Carlingford Mountain tomorrow.

Rehab (again). 10 mins v easy jog up the road towards Yateholme. 10 min walk warm up and down. Achilles a little sore but roughly back to where it was before doing the Ultrasprint. Ice after.

From Penistone into Sheffield along the TPT for...

...another session with Kim. This week's soreness was almost certainly as a result of running too fast on Saturday. Will I ever learn?! She loosened off all the bits which had tightened up again and gave me a new rehabilitation program.

Back to Penistone.

From Heversham (after taking my mum for a walk). Burton-in-Kendal, Warton, Silverdale, Arnside, Hale, Beetham and back. Achilles slightly sore whenever I stood on the pedals.
