 | Orienteering 35:00 [5]6 km (5:50 / km) | |
| |
| It's been ages since I've done any 'real' orienteering that's not around Venice, on a map that I made, or on Burbage in minging weather, so this was a lot of fun. Score event on Royds Hall planned by Dickie Wren. Pretty mad in a mass start of about 100 people and a surprisingly good area. |
| Running 1:15:00 [2]12 km (6:15 / km) | |
| |
| Warm up for the orienteering then a run from Royds Hall to Rosie's house along the Calderdale Way. Really nice sunny, crisp day. Had an argument with a farmer when I tried to follow the footpath through his farmyard and got completely lost when I reached a wrong join on the map I had created from dowloaded bits of OS. It looked like all the roads and paths joined up but it was about 3km out on a parallel valley. |

Thursday Dec 20 |
| Running 25:00 [5]4 km (6:15 / km) | |
| |
| Hallamshire session, Hollybush Hills. 3 sets of 3 different kinds of reps - flat and up, up and flat, then up and up. The last climb was a killer and my legs were so full of lactate that I could barely stagger to the top. Shouldn't have been fun, but it sort of was. |
| Running 35:00 [2]6 km (5:50 / km) | |
| |
| To club house, to the session and home. |
Wednesday Dec 19 |
| Running 40:00 [2]7 km (5:43 / km) | |
| |

| Climbing 1:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| Another full-on session this time mainly with Gareth and Nails. Just about finished off the blues and had a crack at a load of others. |
Tuesday Dec 18 |
| Track session 45:00 [5]10 km (4:30 / km) | |
| |
| Wow this was a toughie. Strides and drills then 6mins, 5mins, 4mins x2 with two mins between runs. All very confusing with some of the runs around the outside of the track including a ramp, sharp u turns and running the opposite way around. I guess this made it less monotonous but it still felt like a long session. The two 5min reps were all on track and I was a few paces short of a 5 min mile on both of them. |
| Running 55:00 [2]10 km (5:30 / km) | |
| |
| To track with Mike and back with Rob and Rob as well. Dead. |
