First ever badger miles. Hopefully, this means that DOMS will be less severe from Leg day, and be able to blow past my PB's. Nothing really special, just running in the streets of Swan View. Too early for the crazy people.

C • Badger miles 4

Did abs, legs, forearms. Jeff uploaded the complete abdominal workout, which I first tried today. I was a bit challenged due to not having the equipment required for some of the exercises. That will be fixed though.

Any good Orienteering shoes that will be fit for Oceania Championships for this year? preferably around the 90 - 120 AUD range. Prefer the low side though, on a strict 3/10 band restriction since I was planning to get the zoom terra Kiger 5 for recovery runs and cross country and some orienteering training as well.

My lower leg pain was DOMS, and it's now cured. Felt sluggish, despite using energy gel and creatine. Safe to say the energy gel isn't useful for 5km, Creatine is a better race day supplement. My barcode disintegrated and my watch couldn't start its GPS, so luckily Michal timed me and the guy who got 4th got in just behind me, so I could figure out my time.

I hit my shoulders, biceps, triceps, forearms, and Abdominals today. I probably should do three weight training sessions a week to stop having these seem like 'Giant workouts'. Realistically each workout took 25 mins, but my school gym and training schedule and my lack of equipment at home make these last so long.
When I get into term 3, I will probably do Abdominals and forearm training at home as they require the least equipment. Might even add a leg muscular endurance training in as well.

Michal's Last training at Garvey Park.
It was a Map - Memory exercise, which I found difficult to remember the legs. I'm not sure whether it was because of DOMS, having exams two weeks ago or simply not being used to having no map contact made the exercise harder, as Sten caught up to me because I forgot which tree number 2 was on.

Number 9 I ended up running past three times, which Rachel and Liam also found difficult. I remembered 8 perfectly but stuffed up my first entry by going the non - optimal route choice that I pointed out to myself. After that, it was quite easy.

I took some energy gel but found it quite useless. I will probably only use it for Nationals or when I get older. As I am writing this log on the 29th of June, around 5k is too short for energy gel to be useful. Maybe it was because I stayed under the pace of the production of lactic acid.

Again, gym work on Muscular endurance. Bit annoyed that the school supervisors couldn't bother to turn up to the gym, but I figure it is term 2 and its a pain for students and teachers. Did Abs, Chest, Back, Legs. Abs, Chest, and back are the same as last log, but I will add in Legs:
Squats - 3 * 15, 30, 45
Hip Thrust - 3 * 12, 16, 20
One legged High/low lunge - 2 * 16, 20
Jumping Lunges - 2 * 14
Abductor/reg/adductor lunge - 2 * 15

I am typing this just before I may fall asleep. I hope I get up fine to go on a recovery run around my block and stretch everything so I can eliminate my DOMS since I don't need any more sleep for school. Term 3 is about time to get B U F F and perfect my N A V before Auschamps.
