Training Log: Mini Mus

Training at Bergsjön

Did medium course again but cut it off slightly so as to get back to the van. Bit slow too 3 but then motivated myself with the prospect of bilar at the end, felt good but couldn’t run very well in the 30degree heat. Well until I jumped in the lake from 10-11 anyway but after that I found that I could properly stride out....... race day technique??? Nice area, similarly rocky too yesterday and mapped in the usual Swedish minimalist mapping style

Walk around the west end of Skuleskogen National park, nice woodland on a part of the höga kusten (high coast) not too much to see, might come back in the north enterance another day.

O-Ringen training at Åsberget

Did a medium course and meandered around, taking in a couple of recommended views, a good 500-1000m detour for that. Was way too hot to do anything again (32 degrees and humid) so wasn’t any quicker than a slow jog. Good all the way around but didn’t make any good route choices probs because it was too hot. Really enjoyable terrain though.

Went up Ottfjållet near Östersund

Nice easy chill walk up and saw one lone reindeer, up before all the other tourists. Very well made path all of the way up.

Kayaking/canoeing up the Håkron river near Östersund

Good fun, managed to paddle all but one small section of rapids, especially fun on the way down.

Wee morning run

across the other side of the river along the ‘roads’ (small forest tracks with narrow fords) and then back off-road above the river cliffs

Wee walk in Hamra national park

Really nice place amongst the ancient woodland and bog very relaxing and chilled day
