Progress Wk 11

Max mileage week, 6 runs with the usual mix apart from Tuesday, instead of a steady run took on the 4 hills round the vale. Achieved 10 Yasso on Friday, cold & v windy, slight wobble at 8, no real problems. After late night Friday a bit stiff for Sat 3 parks easy. 24 miler on Sunday am on the road, longest distance but a bit quicker than last week. Bright & Sunny, views of Ben Lomond & the Cobbler all the way, both snow capped. Met Jim McI & Izzy on the way back down the horseshoe. Training for Conemmara I think. Its taper time now, have we put enough work in?

Progress Wk 10

5 runs this week, easy 4 miler to start followed by a longer steady run, slightly slow due to tiredness and a strong wind on the way back. Easy 5 mile club run Thursday and back to the Yasso routine on Friday, poor concentration causing the only wobble on number 6. Good Sunday 23 miler, Ardgarten plus Cats Crag loops, sunshine most of the way.

Progress Wk 9

Toughest week so far and with the Carnethy 5 hill race on Saturday the schedule had to be rearranged, so no Yasso this week! The C5 went well in winds around 50 mph on the tops along with some mist and rain. Hopefully a sign the training is working that with only Friday off to "prepare" still managed a 4 min+ PB. New shoes for Sundays long run, another hard one, 21 miles and 3900 feet of climbing, same route as 2 weeks ago but in reverse and 10 mins slower.

Progress Wk8

Easier week with only 5 runs, started with an easy recovery run on Monday then a 10 Miler on Tuesday including 8 steady in 64 mins. Common sense prevails with Thursday's club run limited to 5 miles despite temptation to go with the crowd for 8, this probably helped to make Friday's speedwork achievable. Slept in on Sunday but still covered the planned 18 miler on the road, need new shoes!
