Training Log Archive: Arlaharen

Took an easy run with Jake just to get some blood circulation in the muscles. My thighs are really stiff and tender from yesterdays downhill run.

Borrowed a training race map from Wallin and headed up the mountain. The undergrowth made the terrain slow and the orientering was dead simple in that speed. When I headed down the slalom slopes towards the finish I managed to get confused and almost imagined that I was on the wrong slope. Missed jogging down.

Jog to the start of my course. This involved climbing the slalom slope of Lindvallen, 200m climb.

Pushups
15, 15, 13, 12, 16
120" of rest

Had to pack all my stuff for oringen and go shopping for some vital supplies...

Strength training, pushups
12, 12, 10, 10, 18
90" of rest in between.

WOC on tv so no training and had to work on some 43-relay related things also... :(

Strength training, pushups
10, 10, 10, 6, 16
60" of rest in between.

Couldn't run because of my knee that needs some healing before I start bending it to much. I just couldn't sit still so I did some pushups :)

Rank: 1/11, -6'16"
NOK-training, Tjalve GoIF
The training was up in the beautiful area near Älgsjön (just west of). I decided to make the training as competition like as possible and tried to focus from the start. I unfortunately fell on some bare rock on the way to the 1 st control and hade to stop a little bit later to check it up and also to tie my shoelases on the way to the 5th control. Other than those two involuntary stops I raced on almost without mistake. I hesitated a little on 2 controls but otherwise it felt good.

Easy run around Vallskogen and down to Vidingsjö through the old military fields. Social run, which felt extra nice after a tough weekend and a relatively short night.
