So far, I’ve managed to do more of everything on my second run-through of the Big Vert plan:

The only problem I’ve had is a niggle in my left knee in week 8 that kept off the trails for a couple of days.
I’m not sure how I did it. It was either too much of a ramp in week 7 or banging it with a heavy dumbbell in the gym in week 8.
Either way, it seems to be under control now, although I might need to be careful with the amount of downhill running I do for a couple of weeks.
