| Event: DVO Eyam Moor District Event
|
 | Orienteering race 1:04:00 [4] *** 7.5 km (8:32 / km) +300m 7:07 / km | |
| shoes: O shoes |
| Colour coded event at Eyam. Ran OK apart from two mistakes which cost me over 8 mins. Doh! But still came second, albeit miles behind Nails who seemed to be flying. The only thing that cheered me up at the end was hearing that Craney had mispunched. Was reasonably pleased with my terrain running which is slowly improving. To be honest, it wasn't a great course and I didn't enjoy flogging through the heather at the end. |
| Running 12:00 [3] 2.5 km (4:48 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| Run down to gym. Got a stitch as I hadn't left enough time after my Little John lunch. |
| Weights 50:00 [3] | |
| |
| Gym sessions. 10 mins on cross trainer, 30 mins weights and then 10 mins on the bike. Legs pretty tired now, been a good weeks training. It's good to get back into a routine again. |
Saturday Jan 20 |
| Orienteering 1:20:00 [4] 11 km (7:16 / km) | |
| slept:9.0 shoes: O shoes |
| Orienteering session on Burbage with Nails, Craney, Matt D and Alex. Line course in the rocks and then 3 * 1.5-2km loops in the lovely dark green. Was really sloppy on a couple of controls (especially the first control on the second loop) but slowly getting back into reading a map. Still coughing like a f**ker when I run hard though, hope that stops soon. |
| Running 27:00 [3] 6 km (4:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| Road run to stretch my legs after this morning, felt pretty stiff. Just the usual loop - Rivelin Valley road, Malin Bridge, Hillsbro and back. Got rained on. Might have my first beer of 2007 tonight... |
Friday Jan 19 |
| Orienteering 39:00 [4] *** 5.08 km (7:41 / km) | |
| slept:9.0 weight:71.8kg shoes: Innov8s |
| SHI relay course on Loxley. Beautiful afternoon for it, and Loxley is really nice at the moment. A couple of little wobbles but pretty clean. Was a bit gay when running through all the rocks though. |
| Running 40:00 [3] 8 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Innov8s |
| Run to and from Loxley. Even met Craney while running home, which just made it a perfect training session! |
Thursday Jan 18 |
| Running 34:00 [3] 7 km (4:51 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics trail shoes |
| Lunch run up the canal. It was pretty wet underfoot after all the rain last night and really windy. Basically, most of South Yorkshire blew away today, inlcuding me (nearly) on my run. |
| Running intervals 1:10:00 [4] 14 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| Wadsley church intervals. First interval session in over a week so struggled a bit at the beginning but got stronger towards the end. 4.22, 4.24, 4.19. Decided against a fourth as want to ease back in gently. Plus run from home to club hut, club hut to session and session home.
P.S. It was raining, again. |

| Weights 40:00 [3] | |
| |
| I have finally got round to joining a new gym after changing jobs last year, so I can now start to do a few weights sessions. Mostly leg work with a little bit of upper body stuff. |
| Orienteering 44:00 [4] * 6.3 km (6:59 / km) +290m 5:41 / km | |
| shoes: Asics trail shoes |
| Looped o race from Bolehill park on the Walkley map. It just seemed to be uphill all the way and my legs felt tired by the end. I also got caught out by the person who decided to build the new gate, damn it. |
| Running 15:00 [3] 2.5 km (6:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics trail shoes |
| Run to and from the o training. |
Tuesday Jan 16 |
| Running 48:00 [3] 10 km (4:48 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| Another lovely evening for training in Sheffield. It was that nasty misty rain where you don't feel like you're getting wet but end up soaked by the time you get home. Fulwood Road, Hangingwater, Eccy Road and back through the uni. Nice steady road run, didn't feel too bad and not too stiff from circuits. Hopefully I can start training properly again now.
NOTE: Had some chocolate milk tonight. It was nice. I think Tesco will be wondering why their chocolate milk sales have increased so much in the last few days. Rob should be on commission. |
Monday Jan 15 |
| Running 25:00 [3] 5 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| Run from work to circuits and then from circuits home. Didn't feel too bad running, the coughing has eased off nicely. |
| Circuits 40:00 [4] | |
| |
| Circuits training with ShUOC. Rach has made us a longer harder session for the new year and it was tough. I could tell I hadn't done circuits for over a month, and I get the feeling I'm going to hurt tomorrow. |
