Really nice recovery jog. Much faster that I thought it was, I guess that just speaks to my fitness level right now :) Legs were just relaxed and I was moving nicely.

I am going to start working on my barefoot running soon. I plan on starting with 1 min of light jogging and move up by 1 minute per week or maybe every other week and doing that every day on the treadmill.

Does anyone have any advice for how I should tackle that and if that is a safe enough way of doing it?

Decided to run while Marius biked so that I could make this into a "long training." I felt soooo good on the long downhill during the cool down :)

Orienteering training with Wonn the Oslo sport school. Pretty sweet to have os many great orienteers to train with!

I did the last four intervals of the training and worked on navigating at one steady pace. I still need to have my navigation catch up a little bit but this run was much better than the past two I have had :)

Goal:
-Orienteer smoothly and do a good job keeping track of where I am

Did Well:
-Took fast running routes
-Used large features for navigating
-When in technical areas I had good handrails and end features to stay in contact without slowing down much
-Good job staying on the same contour level
-Running straight when that was the option I picked
-Catching myself before making a large mistake

Next time:
-Have a bit more contact with the map so that I can flow into the next control
-W/ more contact make sure to properly orient the map and stay in contact with which direction I am running (keep track - not catch up)
-Realize that visibility in forests is fairly poor when it comes to seeing other hills

Recovery bike, this worked sooo well. Before I run in large races I will definitely repeat this recovery day

Full warm up

Orienteering mass start w/ forking intervals. Went pretty well, just need to work on staying within my bubble and navigating a bit more on my own

Mass start two lap one-man relay with Fossum for the club championships. Lots of fun, I was a bit too excited from the race which lead to be blowing up the first control and working to much on making time up instead of having a solid race from there.

After dinner exploring of the surrounding area with my new training partner Marius. Super excited to plan more with him!
