| ahr:110 max:157 slept:8.0 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid | ||
| Start of the strength phase of strength training. Went in a bit later and Steve was there and kept adding weight on each rep. A couple of new exercises so it was good to have him there. 5 sets of three - low reps but really beefing up the weight.
High pull from floor 30kg 5 x 3 OH BB Press (No leg movement) 20-27.5kg 5 x 3 BB Bent Over Row 40-45kg 5 x 3 Pull ups (Overhand, wide grip, machine assisted) -36kg 3 x 5 Glut/Ham Raise 5kg 3 x 10 | ||

Thursday Jan 10 | ||
| Cycling 37:38 [2] | |
| ahr:129 max:161 rhr:46 slept:8.0 | ||
| Cycling to work and back | ||
| Warm up & strides 16:50 [3] | |
| ahr:117 max:160 shoes: Integrators | ||
| Run to the Seat and a warm up jog with a few strides. Legs still majorly got the DOMS when resting and sitting, but feeling fine when on the move! | ||
| Orienteering 32:29 [4]*** | |
| ahr:166 max:185 rhr:46 slept:8.0 shoes: Integrators | ||
| Planned a course with control picking sessions to be done at orienteering tempo with lots of uphill, then longer legs to be run at interval pace with huge amounts of hill in them, all on the Seat. These are the control picking bits, which I must say were a navigational disaster. Running was strong even into the stupidly strong wind though. | ||
| Hills 24:34 [5]*** | |
| ahr:177 max:189 rhr:46 slept:8.0 shoes: Integrators | ||
| The hills part of the beasting session. Felt absolutely fantastic, powering up the hills with good style, and really enjoyed it. Reps were of length:
6.40, 5.03, 3.30, 9.21 Brilliant fun on a clear starry but very windy night. | ||
| Recovery 14:07 [3] | |
| ahr:149 max:182 shoes: Integrators | ||
| Warm down jog waiting for Kir then back home and off for the EUOC committee meeting of joy. | ||
Wednesday Jan 9 | ||
| Cycling 40:10 [2] | |
| ahr:126 max:153 | ||
| Cycling to work, to the gym and home. | ||
| Circuits 1:02:14 [3] | |
| ahr:95 max:152 shoes: Road Sauconys | ||
| Quite a low intensity runner's circuits session to ease us back into training gently. Did some ace jumpy things where you sit on your heels and jump onto your feet then over a hurdle, which were fun. Was clearing the small hurdles easily, but still big mental block about the taller ones even though I have the height. Boo! Despite massive DOMS still everything felt good but the overhead squats with no weight, which were mighty painful. | ||
| Running 31:59 [3] | |
| ahr:157 max:174 shoes: Road Sauconys | ||
| Warm down run with Rupert - felt like I was cruising but pace was pretty snappy and legs felt surprisingly good. After feeling headachey and ming all day it was a pleasant surprise to be running seemingly pretty well. Feel much better now. Yey! | ||
Tuesday Jan 8 | ||
| Cycling 45:00 [2] | |
| Cycling to work and back. | ||
| Warm up & strides 20:17 [3] | |
| ahr:120 max:155 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid | ||
| Warm up before intervals - rubbish strides as JJ was worried about our slipping on the wet grass and so we weren't allowed to do them properly. Still feeling the DOMS majorly from yesterday. | ||
| Recovery 20:11 [3] | |
| ahr:162 max:180 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid | ||
| Run back from intervals via Kir's - pretty fast as it was totally minging by now and I was wet through. | ||
| Intervals 23:04 [5] | |
| ahr:185 max:195 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid | ||
| JJ wouldn't let us do the treacherous filled with corners 1km route as it was riddled with puddles and possible hazards for wimpy XC types, so instead we were given 3 x 1 mile on the Meadows mile route. Then after the second rep he asked Hannah if her legs were cold and wet, which obviously they were as it was a veritable monsoon outside, and he sent everyone home. I waited for Kir who was determined to do a third, as was Tullie, so after a over long rest I did a third all alone, so the pace was slightly off but not too bad. Legs felt stiff the whole way but stomach was fine, yey!
6.10 (50), 6.13 (3.34), 6.17 | ||
Monday Jan 7 | ||
| Cycling 45:00 [2] | |
| Cycling to work and back. | ||
| Strength 1:25:00 [4] | |
| I want my HR monitor to come back! Hurry hurry!
First strength session in about three weeks and my goodness, that's the last time I take a break that long! Started the set again with what should have been medium heavy, but it felt harder than that. Finished it though! Front squat 20kg 3 x 10 Split push press BH 35kg 5 x 6 Landmines 17.5kg 3 x 10 BB Roll outs 3 x 10 Lateral pull downs 36kg 3 x 10 Lock and rolls 3 x 10 Tomorrow my quads are going to hate me...now to gather the determination to go for a recovery run...come on... | ||
| Recovery 44:00 [3] | |
| Recovery run. No idea what HR was as watch is still away, but I'm pretty sure it was faster than it should have been! Legs felt sore but were moving fine, chest a little tight but generally better than I anticipated. Sleeeeep tonight! | ||
Sunday Jan 6 | ||
| Note | |
| No training for me, as we got stranded at Torp in a snow storm and hence I got two hours sleep on the floor, then spent the whole of Sunday travelling. Was due to be back in Edinburgh by about half five on Saturday, managed it by half six on Sunday. Whacked. So much for getting back to the routine re energised and revitalised tomorrow!

Saturday Jan 5 | ||
| Running 1:05:00 [3] | |
| Snowy run in Oslo - only had O shoes with dobs so tried to connect up as many parks as possible, went in a circle through two small northwesterly ones and then Frognerparken and Slottsparken. Snow falling in the suburbs was divine, sorry to leave! | ||
