A lovely mixed bag of core work in my pj’s because suddenly had the motivation when going to bed. Still croaking away so resting until Wednesday then doing athletics (for the first time in 3 weeks?!) yayyy.

Event: Wharncliffe UKOL Long (Northern Champs)
 

Warm up
Bit of high knees with frank then thorough stretching and motivational speeches from nev.

Northern Champs Wharncliffe-4th
So chuffed I’d guessed the start in the right place that I promptly picked up my map and did a 180 down the track to #1. Quickly recovered loosing 45 secs. Clean through till 4 where a shocking route choice to 5 led to some wandering around in a boulder field. Hit a track and saw carys and Lucy who i’d seen at 4 and tried to speed up but only meant i made a muddle of in the circle. Lost 3 mins.
Clean until 10 where I overshot it and then had to double back on myself. Lost 2 mins. Finding it quite hard to breathe from here on and kept coughing. Caitlin caught Lucy and i here then stuck w her till 14 where a micro route choice error meant I overtook. All clean from here on.

Overall very surprised with my result as the taper wasn’t ideal and breathing was a muddle.

Blimey that route choice really was shocking http://obasen.orientering.se/winsplits/online/en/d...:

Bit after run then a bit w pip later on.

Loosening the legs after a long journey to the premier inn:) Managed to loose Stan. Did some strides and stretches and legs felt surprisingly fine after no running for a week. Struggling to breathe and voice still very much absent, a bit more Gollum like though which is an improvement.

Getting my legs turning before the weekend and planning to do a short jog tomorrow as haven't run in 6 days:/ Must say the taper didn’t exactly go to plan...Off school again and still no voice at all.

Been in bed all day and possibly have tonsillitis which is a bummer. Have no voice at all so it’s rather quiet. Really want to run but need to get better for the weekend so resting as much as possible.

Not allowed to go to athletics which was v disappointing but have totally lost my voice and don’t want it to move onto my chest so getting cold wouldn’t be ideal. Lovely spin in the loft whilst the dog sung to me which was interesting.

Nice bit of full body conditioning but mostly core. Trying to do as much exercise as possible without going too far and not being able to do northerns.
