Saturday May 19 |
| Running 1:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Long run around delightful Basildon with Ant Squire. It was good to back to my roots - ploughed overgrown fields, with poorly maintained footpaths - oh what a joy. Most fun was that Ant had one of the new Garmin toys, so we played a game of guessing our mile splits (you should have been there!) |

Friday May 18 |
| S+C 50:00 [3] | |
| |
| Standard sesh. Still too early. Still hurts too much. |
| Running 40:00 [4] | |
| |
| Foxdahl 30:90s for 40 minutes. Wanted to try and make my lunchtime run a bit tougher rather than a standard "run". |

| |
| |
Thursday May 17 |
| Orienteering tempo 1:00:00 [4] | |
| |
| Trains with Neil around Burbage Mines / Lady Cannings (which was lovely and runnable).
Good session but still struggle to get my focus 100% at the end of a work day. |
Wednesday May 16 |
| Running 1:15:00 [2] | |
| |
| Running to and back from gym + some extra stuff up the parks. Ran with a couple of maps from Portugal - it was fun to try and visualise the courses using a mixture of the map and my memory! |
| |
| C • You ran today! 6 |
| S+C 1:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| Standard session, in format but with some extra weights. Felt a bit stronger today (must have been the can of spinach I eat before the session) so was pretty pleased. Still struggling with backwards walking... |
| Orienteering 45:00 [3] | |
| |
| Putting out controls + taking them in again. Glad people enjoyed the courses. Ran quite hard when putting the flags out (almost like an interval session) as was running a bit late! |
Tuesday May 15 |
| Orienteering 50:00 [1] | |
| |
| Jogging around Walkley, making sure that control points were ok and that there was something I could tape the kites to. |
| Running race 40:00 [5] | |
| |
| Burbage fell race. Randy went off like a train, and no one went with him initially. Lloyd bridged the gap, and I stayed back fighting for 3rd (which I got) against someone dressed head to toe in "Skins" kit. Really fun race, and good training. Think Randy got the record, so it was a pretty fast race - I was 1 min back. |
| Running warm up/down 40:00 [2] | |
| |
| Managed to lose Neil on the warm down which was a bonus ;). |
