Morning training in Oskarshamn.
Distance orienteering with orienteering intervals mixed into the run. We did a couple of them in mass start and the others in chasing start. The orienteering felt quite ok, but messed up in some circles and hesitated on which was the actual control object. Ptr and I did some extra 20' after the youngsters got tired... ;)

Middle distance like training but slightly longer. I tried to do a sub competition speed training, but still no jogging. Only made 2 smaller mistakes but running felt easy.

Course length: 7.1 km
Time: 45'58"
Pace: 6'28"

Middle distance training, chasing start
Started last together with Goth. We took different route choices to the first control. Goth took the safe route around on the path and I headed straight on. I only got a few hundred meters before I ran into a barb wire fence in full speed. Got hanging in fence for a few seconds before I managed to get myself untangled and back on track. I guess I only lost 20", but I got a bit stressed and maxed the speed in order to catch up with Goth. By the 2nd control I was just ahead. Unfortunately I did not slow down once I had caught up with him instead I continued in uberspeed and made a fool out of myself on the fourth control (2'30" mistake). After that I slowed down and started picking the controls one by one. Managed to trust Mike a little bit to much when I was gaining on him and lost 45" on the last control. Running felt alright but the scars on my thighs doesn't look that nice :(

Course length: 5 km
Time: 31'22"
Pace: 6'16"

Too tired from sleeping to little to many nights, so I'd better stay at home and try to relax before this weekends training camp in Oskarshamn.

Tired as hell today and also feeling a little bit sick, hopefully this feeling will pass during the day. Tonight I'd better get to bed a little bit earlier than previous nights.

Night orienteering in Ryd-Valla forest. We did a chasing start with short starting interval, around 30". I overtook the first ones by the 3rd control and from there on I pushed on alone. I made a few mistakes totaling around 2' mistakes. I tried to stay around my lactate threshold. Felt quite good and I picked most of the controls at full speed without any problems.

Length of O-course: 8 km
Time on course: 46'45"
Avg heartrate: 160 (max 170)

A nice slow run together with Martinsson. A lot of talk about headlights to be...

A rather hectic day spoiled my plans on doing any lunch training. :(

Ran part of the "backrundan" on my lunch break. Tried to get the pulse to at least close to my lactate threshold but I felt to tired in my legs. The last 10 min was at least > 160 bpm.
