 | Orienteering 45:00 [5]*** 12 km (3:45 / km) | |
| spiked:26/28c |
| First orienteering for a while at the Lincoln race. An oxymoronic long-sprint around the old town and university, some tricky bits but also lots of long running legs with plenty of time to plan ahead. Felt surprisingly good after a posh evening of wine tasting-maybe expensive wine makes you less hung over, since I'm yet to be convinced it has any other advantages... |
| Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] | |
| |
| Bit half-hearted. |
Saturday Sep 1 |
| Running 1:25:00 [2]14 km (6:04 / km) | |
| |
| Legs still stiff, but went out to the Fox House for a gentle run along White and Froggatt edges with Mike and Rob. Talked training all the way. |
Friday Aug 31 |
| Running 20:00 [1]3 km (6:40 / km) | |
| |
| Tried to loosen my stiff legs. Failed. I thought I was getting pins and needles all over but then I realised that it was raining very slightly, even though there wasn't a cloud in the sky. weird. |
Thursday Aug 30 |
| Running 1:10:00 [3]15 km (4:40 / km) | |
| |
| Very sore muscles, but thought I'd go along to Hallamshire anyway. Set out up Loxley Valley in Jason's wake (he was 'jogging' to the start of his session) then cut off over the hills across Stanington and back down Rivelin with Rob and Mike. I'd like to think that the pace didn't drop too much after we left Jason, but it probably did. Now my legs hurt even more. |
Wednesday Aug 29 |
| Running Drills (running drills) 30:00 [4]4 km (7:30 / km) | |
| |
| Had no plans for the day and Mike suggested trying out some running drills on Jubby's recommendation. I thought this would involve doing the occasional burst of effort and generally poncing around like a sprinter, but unfortunately not. Dynamic stretches, drills and then 10x150m with jog back recovery, focusing on good technique rather than speed. Speed or no speed this felt very hard by the end and I now have big knots in my calf muscles. It must be good for you if it hurts that much. |

| Running 50:00 [2]10 km (5:00 / km) | |
| |
| Run out to track and back, bit harder than normal because I was late. Some pikey has nicked bits of metal out of the spider bridge so it's shut - surely there must be better places to find scrap metal?! |

| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| Went to pick Jenny up to head out to the Eyam fell race. It took her about 10 seconds to talk me out of it and we came home and sat around instead. Then felt guilty all evening, but probably a good decision, niggles still niggling. |
Monday Aug 27 |
| Running 40:00 [1]7 km (5:43 / km) | |
| |
| Jenny's flight home from Kiev was delayed so never made it to the white rose. We went for a jog along Stanage instead to check out some paths for the 'Exterminator.' |
