Back to Back to Back

This year I've had a few back to back weekends, running both Saturday and Sunday, two not so long long runs, it seems to have worked ok, improving endurance and I'm not as tired. This weekend I added the Monday in as well.

Saturday, we ran up Doughnot Hilll from Milton. I've been up the Crags before but never made it to Doughnot Hill.

A bit of road to start and finish, in between a mixture of grassy single track, muddy paths and forest road, 7 miles and 1300' in 90 minutes.

Sunday, Luss, Beinn Dubh, Mid Hill and back down the glen, another 7 miles and 1400' in just under 2 hours.

A lot of snow and slush on the climb and along the top made for frozen feet. The Sealskinz socks helped, although it still took a couple of hours for my toes to thaw.

Monday, trail run with a couple of miles on the road. Starting from Succoth, up to the lower trail to Ardgarten, round the Cat Craig Loop back to Ardgarten.

Ran back to Succouth via the higher trail, 13 miles, 2500' in 2 hours 20. A few more pictures here.

Windy Luss

9 miles and 3700 feet of up and down, Beinn Dubh, Mid Hill and Coille Eughain Hlill, windy today, ok for the first half hour then a struggle to keep upright as the wind bit, Run along the ridge ok,slippy on the drop back down to the glen, sheltered on the climb up CE Hill, run off the top worse than Beinn Dubh, stinging rain peppered my face. Nice view, sunrise over Loch Lomond, on the first climb :), 2 hours 50.
