Training Log Archive: michelle

ran off the map twice (at 5 and 12)... other than that it was actually ok... a couple of stupid route choices but yeah. apart from the errors i was running just under 10 minutes a km i think. i still need to concentrate more. and the hole in my map right on a control didnt help much...

pretty happy coz it usually takes me about 42 minutes to do it, felt fast the whole way. ran it backwards so i got the big hill at the end, i ran up it pretty good i reckon. i did 4 x 600m (or what i guessed was 600m) hard while i was running too. my knees were a bit twingy tho :(

thought id better do a warmdown after my run so i jogged my 2k loop really slowly

went to watch my friends at theatresports last night and then came home and talked to people so i didnt get much sleep so i had a rest day. i wouldve gone riding this morning but emmas sick and i didnt feel like going by myself.

Catholics!!! ran the 1500m (5:35), 800m (2:51), 100m (15.4) and 100m relay. came 2nd in 1500m div b, 4 in 800m div b, 6th in 100m div 8 bahaha im so not a sprinter thanks very much lazy sprinters who didnt bother turning up... did high jump too but terribly since i ran straight over from the 1500m so i was kinda tired.

pretty happy with my 1500, coz i wasnt supposed to be runnign it, but i got there and they were like emmas sick quick youll have to run race starts in about 15 minutes... anyways. im really really sunburnt :( it hurts

if im not too tired tomorrow ill do some proper training

since my track coach tells me i shouldnt be running today or tomorrow (since i did heaps on the weekend) coz catholics is on thursday i thought id work out why im so inconsistent with orienteering, and come up with a plan to improve...
anyways, i decided my main problem (apart from general unfitness) is that i lost concentration/focus really easily and my cognitive anxiety increases rapidly when the control is not where i think it should be/im completely lost. i havent thought of a good plan yet except to do centring like i do in tennis/badminton but i dont know if thatll work in orienteering... other than that my plan is to train lots and im going to write myself a training program the next time im procrastinating.
