Distance measured by my GPS

Training run for Norwegian Champs. Tomorrow I will be running in the "guest class" which means I will run H21E for the long distance. I foresee this race being... very long...

Goal for tomorrow: Around 2 hours

Biking indoors as a nice recovery day while working on more explosive muscles. Just an easy bike :)

So it was supposed to be 25mib of yoga but the girl that came new some other cool stuff we could do so it lasted a bitttt longerrr. Now I have a more advanced yoga regime

Long distance race prep. Very rough orienteering done by me. The map had the trails taken away and I struggled to use the contours when I would have preferred using trails in certain areas.

I will have to work on this still (eliminating the need for other checkpoint/being able to stick to one type of oreinteering when I could be using others)

All in all a good learning though

After this Marius and I were a bit to tired to go run around the forest

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
