| Note | |
| (injured) | ||
| Ankle really hurting today. Hurts to walk and no idea why but had to call off going to gym - probs just as well as upper back is getting stiffer and stiffer, the more I do to it. But ankle hasn't hurt like this before, scar tissue is really painful. Will see physio next week about it.
Fine next day... | ||

| Gym trial session at Courtyard gym with Carl. He seems a bit pushy but I think I could get a lot out of having a gym to hand, espeically over the exam period.

Sunday Apr 27 | ||
| athletics warm up/down 45:00 [3] | |
| athletics race 1:00:00 [3] | |
| NJL Yate. Shot, Jav, Discus.
Shot: 8.26. Not too bad considering. Having a bit of difficulty balancing on bad leg. Jav: 23.40, terrible. Tense up in competition completely, only got 2/6 decent throws and they weren't great at all. Discus: 20.91. bit of a laugh, haven't done it for years. reckon I could have got miles with a turn but it went in the net. and then a stand went in the net, so I was very careful on my third throw! 20.91 but qualification standard for a further 3 throws was 22m... I hate not being able to jump/run/hurdle... | ||
Saturday Apr 26 | ||
| swimming 17:00 [3] 0.6 km (28:20 / km) | |
| Swimming at Dursley at lunchtime. Two silly slow people in the lane who wouldn't let me get past so had to keep stopping to give myself enough space. | ||
| swimming 9:00 [4] 0.4 km (22:30 / km) | |
| silly slow people vanished and swam properly! | ||

Tuesday Apr 22 | ||
| Note | |
| Physio with Chris, much more positive session than last time:
No plyos til mid June, but start in pool in about a month. Running - fine. Running in forests is great, just wear support. Running on sanddunes would be even better. Range of movement improving. Will join Courtyard gym and get some guidance on a weights programme from Carolyn. Out for this season, start fitness training now in time for summer. Few jav and shot comps but nothing too major, concentrate on fitness. Want to be fit for O-Ringen. | ||
| athletics warm up/down 10:00 [2] | |
| Was late for training, not a good start, so warm up really rushed and all stressed out when I got there. | ||
| athletics (javelin) 45:00 [3] | |
| rubbish rubbish rubbish. i can't throw javelins at all at the moment, every session is just terrible... | ||
| strength/conditioning (medicine ball) 20:00 [3] | |

Sunday Apr 20 | ||
| Note | |
| Went to relays but didn't run, not plannig on it but I would have liked to, lovely forest and lovely day, but had a pretty early plane to catch so just spectated for a bit. | ||
Saturday Apr 19 | ||
| Event: British Long Champs | ||
| orienteering race 59:00 [4] ***** 4.7 km (12:33 / km) +110m 11:14 / km | |
| spiked:10/14c | ||
| British at Culbin, was wearing dad's Jalas boots and they were really good, just gave bit of extra support. Was really surprised, able to run fine! Really enjoyed it, and was spiking 1-6 til I thought 'this is goood' - then I think I just lost concentration and went and faffed around at 7, and screwed up 8 & 9 bigtime. Boots bit painful towards the end and I was a bit knackered - serious lack of fitness. But the main thing is I can orienteer again! Oh and I'm British Champ (W20S - ssssh) okay so its not saying much really as I was also last, but I did get a Buff out of it... | ||
Tuesday Apr 15 | ||
| Note | |
| Physio session with Fran, got a bit tearful at times but have lots of things that need sorting.
1. I need an action plan, a training schedule with someone to answer to rather than just deciding what I feel like doing. It was working well before Christmas, and as my motivation can be quite low at the moment its particularly important. Incorporate strength & conditioning, core, balance (which I can do at physio/home) and cardiovascular fitness which is the big one as I've lost a lot. Need to get some running training in somewhere building towards intervals/speed work (not sprints for now as ankle not up to it). Effectively back to 'winter training'. 2. Skills training - obviously keep going on throws for now, but not too much of a priority at the moment as not planning on doing any major comps this summer. 3. Sit down, periodise training and decide goals for indoor season/next summer. 4. Orienteering - happy for me to do as much as I feel comfortable doing. Want to be able to run in Sweden in July (so cardiovascular important here too). | ||

Monday Apr 7 | ||
| athletics warm up/down 15:00 [2] | |
| athletics (javelin) 50:00 [3] | |

Sunday Apr 6 | ||
| Event: British Sprint Championships | ||
| orienteering race 21:31 [3] *** 2.4 km (8:58 / km) +50m 8:07 / km | |
| spiked:23/25c shoes: Adidas Swoop | ||
| British sprint heats - Warwick uni campus. Not going 100% - half being cautious with ankle (especially as snowy/grassy so slippery) and half total lack of cardiovascular fitness! Pretty pleased all the same, got round with no problems and just a stupid mistake! | ||
| orienteering race 17:53 [4] *** 2.4 km (7:27 / km) +50m 6:45 / km | |
| spiked:22/22c | ||
| British Sprint Final - C Final. 11th. Really pleased with run, spiked all and although was a bit slow, it was mostly down to fitness and not ankle holding me up. Felt so nice to be running again! | ||
