Monday- I had a day off after the long run on Sunday.
Tuesday- 7 mile run from Stockbridge to Leith and back with two steep hills.
Wednesday- Women's running club in the evening- Pyramid session, 3 x 1 minutes sprints, 3 x 4 minute runs and 3 x 1 minute sprints. Approx 4 mile jog to meadows and back.
Thursday- Swim 60 lengths
Friday- 7 mile run from Stockbridge to Leith and back with two steep hills.
Saturday- day off as I went to Glasgow for green arts event, Glasgow's Green at Tramway.
Sunday- 14 mile run with EAC running group. I enjoyed the run but my knees ached towards the last mile. Graeme and I ran an extra 2 miles in Balerno but got a bit lost and didn't enjoy running on the road.
I didn't find time for Yoga this week, but I aim to go next week! I'm finding the Sunday runs a bit easier when having a day off on Saturday but all the good running events are on at the weekend such as Park run and EAC session at the Meadows.

Running Diary 02/03/15- 08/03/15
I've gradually built up on my miles from this week, I also joined the Edinburgh University Yoga society and attened the Power Vinyasa Yoga class. It probably wasn't the best idea to go to a highly energetic Yoga class before going to running club in the evening as I was quite worn out during the running session. I really felt my shoulder joints ache from the many sun salutations and back bends! I'd like to go to the class again or a similar Yoga as I enjoyed the fast pace and strengthening strecthes.
Monday - Day off
Tuesday- 6.5 mile run down the Water of Leith from Stockbridge to Leith and back.
Wednesday- Yoga Vinyasa Power at St Giles Church- 1.30- 2.45 pm. 6.00 pm- EAC Womens' running club - 10 fast runs for 2-3 minutes with 90 second break.
Thursday- 7.30 AM 60 length swim
Friday- 10.00 AM 6.5 mile run to Leith
Saturday- Day Off
Sunday- 9.00 AM 13.4 mile run with EAC running club- My knees felt very sore in the last 2 miles and I ran most of the run on my own so the run seemed much longer than when I've run with others. This is the furthest I've ever run so a good accomplishment for the day and building up to the marathon.

Running Diary 23/02/15- 01/03/15
On the train back to Edinburgh from Lancaster I read OM Yoga magazine and it reminded me of how much I enjoy Yoga and its meditative and strengthening benefits. It is also really important as a runner to have good flexibility and increase strength through deep stretches to reduce possible injuries. I've decided to go to a Yoga class at least once a week, not only am I looking forward to the relaxing and strengthening aspects but also trying out a different exercise as I feel running can sometimes be very exhausting physically and psychologically.
Monday- Day off running- I went to a Vinyasa yoga class at Meadowlark Yoga in Edinburgh. The class very very energetic and had good practise moves for head stands- which I still cannot do. I enjoyed the deep stretches and the flowing sequences of the class and it was good to focus on my breathing and stretch my muscles after the long run yesterday. 5 mile walk
Tuesday- 10.00 AM 6.25 mile run- steady run down The Water of Leith to Roseburn and round to Inverleith park once with a steep hill to end.
Wednesday- Day off. 4 mile walk
Thursday- 10.00 AM 6.75 mile run down the Water of Leith to the port of Leith and back to Stockbridge. Hill at the end.
Friday- 7.30 AM Day off running- 60 length swim.
Saturday- 9.30 AM Park run- 5km race- This was the first park run I attended at Crammond beach that wasn't icy! I acheived a personal best for this race of 24 minutes, 23 seconds.
Sunday- 9.00 AM 12 miles Craiglockart to Balerno long run with Edinburgh Athletics Club- This run was quite hilly and my legs felt a bit sore from the Park run. I enjoyed the run and running with other people kept me going for the 12 miles.
