Hungover waddle around Whitehills

Very slow and painful - lots of walking, and average moving pace of 5'58"/km over 7.44km But average overall pace of 7'21"/km - including all the stops for Minnie

Last run of the year - Whitehills

6.5km at 5'53" moving speed...and ran up all the hills for a change.

Sunday on ice

6.05km on a very icy Whitehills, so very slow. But now passed 750km for the year running!

Gym and then Whitehills

Into the gym: 2km on the treadmill at 5'13"/km, then a 1km tempo swim in 20'40". Then 500 more meters, alternating breastroke and crawl, apparently in 10'21" (which I don't really believe). then took Minnie to a snowy Whitehills, where I ran/walked 3.57km at 6'15" average moving pace

Cycle into Aberdeen plus Whitehills plod

The trip into Aberdeen was bizarrely only 29.29km (average speed 26.1km/hr). Usual route, so don't know where a km has gone. Then to Whitehills for a sluggardly plod and one long wait for Minnie. Average moving speed 7'02"/km) over 5.80km

Cool evening at Whitehills with Minnie

7.77km at 5'40" moving speed, with some hiati for the dog!

Walking the dog

To Whitehills with Minnie for the usual run. 6.54km at 5'46"/km (5'25" moving pace), and felt pretty good in the legs today.

Wet at Whitehills

A waddle around Whitehills with Minnie on a murky misty evening. 8.46km at a moving pace of 5'46" No bounce in my bungee

Climbing practice

To Banchory with the bike in the boot, to cycle up the easy side of the Cairn O'Mount. Apart from a very steep section just after the AA phone box, it was just a grind up, mostly in the saddle, with the 20km to the summit in around 1hr10'. Came back quicker (and shorter, channelling the Knockburn tri route) and averaged 22.8km/hr moving, with 993 metres of ascent. Then a 6.02km run with Minnie at Whitehills with a moving speed of 5'43"/km (but actually 6'24" all up). Then a serious snooze on the sofa at home!

Long and slow Whitehills to Paradise

A 75 minute Zone 2 was required: so Whitehills to Paradise - long and slow. 12.09km at 5'46" moving pace (6'15" average, with one 5 minutes break for Minnie to reappear)

Whitehills

Very slow, starting with the uphill, and some waiting for horses - 7.4km at 6'08". 5'52" moving pace

Relaxed swim, and two leaden runs

2.2 km around Aberdeen, and 6.8 km around Whitehill (Tuesday and Saturday respectively). Around 5'45"/km.


1 km swim (very slow), after a session with Lyn

Whitehills wimp out

Went to Whitehills intending to run 7, but so lacking in steam I gave up after 5.

Officially 5.23 km in 30'22" at an average moving pace of 5'39"/km (and overall average 5'50"). Slothful doesn't begin to describe it. Time for a break?

Total for October 87.64km

Whitehills

First 1.01 km up the hill as a warmup, and then 8.19km really slowly and painfully around the usual tracks (6'18"/km, 6 minutes average moving pace). Don't know what's wrong with my legs today

Easy jog

Let's not forget a jogging 1 km warmup in the gym on Wednesday (6'/km), then an easy jog around Whitehills.

Turns out the last whisky may not have been a great plan, and the dog was keen to run off from time to time. 6.9km at around 6'16" per km (moving speed), and intentionally easy to prepare for tomorrow's duathlon

Hideous empty legs

Still not recovered from the gym/bike session on Friday. 2 bottles of wine may not have helped either, but horrible empty legs at Whitehills today.

Total about 9.8 km, in just over an hour. For the running part, 9.05km at an average pace of 6'13" with lots of walking. See what I mean?

Windy Whitehills

A windy but mostly sunny day at Whitehills, going left first. Total 6.8km (Nike + reckoned 6.72, but I'm going with the Garmin), in 38'48" making pave 5'42"/km. Pace felt slower with tired legs after yesterday.

Enjoyed using the Garmin though, which worked well.

Total distance for May: 94.03 according to the Nike+ with a missing 0.68 (if I remember right).

So I need to run just over 5 tomorrow and Tuesday to get over 100km for May. Triathlon club training tomorrow night (and gym session) should make that possible.

Knee feels good too.

Rainy Whitehills

7.38km at 5'54"/kkm (including the first 500m walked, and a couple of dog stops).

Felt ok, although need to watch left knee

Back to Whitehills

On a lovely sunny evening - 6.71km (although the first 0.5km was mostly walking up the hill). Total distance this week 22.3km, and a total of 90.7 this month. Pace was ok at 5'28" per km. If you exclude the first 0.5km taking about 5 minutes, it's 5'8"per km

Loosener

5.81 km at Whitehills at 5'33" pace as a loosener for tomorrow's Balmoral 10k
