Tuesday : 4 miles fast on undulating muddy field
Wednesday : 1000ft and 2 miles of hill reps
Thursday : 2000ft and 3 miles of 4 *500ft hill reps
Friday : High intensity intervals
Saturday : 4 miles on flat reasonably fast (beach)
Sunday : 18 miles and 7000ft in Snowdonia
The early part of the week was OK, Friday and Saturday were too full and struggled to get time between being a taxi service. Sunday was one of the best days out in the hill I have had for a very long time. Starting and finishing in Llanberis, Y-Elin, Y-Garn, Glydar Fawr, Pen-y-pass, Miners track to Snowdon and down the railway. I was going follow the Peris Horseshoe route, but I there was a lot of water ice about and was unsure how her 4 pawed ladyship would manage on the north face of Snowdon. Average 3 miles an hour, water ice slowed things down a bit, as did carrying enough stuff to be safe on your own in winter. The ground was very hard, but a good 1st long day out of the campaign, hard but not too hard. Only regret was not taking a real camera and having to make do with a camera on the phone.
Need to get a few more miles and climb in the early part of the week, but still a good week of training.
