Turbo training

20.01km in 47'10" - not as good as last time. Raised saddle a little, and it didn't feel comfy, if you know what I mean.

Catching up

7km on treadmills in a Glasgow hotel gym on Wednesday 7th December, (2km warm up at 11km/hr and then a pleasing 5km at just better than 12km/hr).

Then 12 km around Hyde Park, Green Park and St James' Park on Thursday 8th December (at a bit better than 11km/hr),

And then about 7.3 km up and down the glen on Sunday 11th (slow and horrible!)

And additional 26.3 km since I last posted.

Cool and breezy

Bright sunshine, but an overnight dusting of snow, cold and windy. Seemed like it was downhill to Kintore, and then seemed to be upwind or uphill almost all of the way home.

41km at 24.9km/hr (25.3km.hr average moving speed). Looking at the heart rate trace, I wasn't really trying very hard in the second half.

1015km by December 3rd

That's all!

Back in the gym again

2km warmup at 11km/hr (new base speed)

5km building from 11 - 12 km/hr. ok, but not fabulous

Gym running again - intervals

Warm up 1km at 10 and 11km/hr

3km, with 400m intervals at 13.5km/hr, and the middle 1 km at 11km/hr

Cool down 1km at 11 (new recovery pace)

Turbo training

20km on the turbo trainer, in 45'10"

The first turbo outing this year, seemed ok, but VERY sweaty
