 | Orienteering 1:07:45 [3]8 km (8:28 / km) +370m 6:53 / km | |
| |
| am: O training on South Ledge. Includes 7.2k course with 17 controls and 335m climb.
Noticeably tougher than last weekend. Course seemed to go through a lot of crap. The areas with green and rock seem to be much heavier than I remember from a couple of years ago (or maybe it's just a reflection of my lack of fitness)
One pleasing aspect of the run was that, although I felt slow and tired, I was able to keep going OK in the rough stuff near the end |
| Core stability 18:00 [2] | |

| pm: Part 2 of my core stability session |
Saturday Apr 28 |
| Running 58:09 [3]13.1 km (4:26 / km) | |
| |
| am: A variation on the standard 13k in Kings Pk. Avoids one section of footpath and follows a sandy path with woodchips instead.
Right glutes complained throughout. |
| Gym 51:00 [2] | |
| weight:72.9kg |
| am: Usual gym workout with some extra exercises with a gym ball at the end (just to make sure that my abs don't feel left out!) |
| Core stability 27:00 [2] | |
| |
| pm: Core stability stuff. As usual for a Sat, didn't finish. Was getting tired and couldn't be bothered! Still had to do endless stretching, so I cut it short. More important to do the stretching. Will do part2 tomorrow. |
Friday Apr 27 |
| Running 49:05 [3]11 km (4:28 / km) | |
| |
| am: Usual run through Shenton Pk and Kings Pk. Not so usual time though - 2 mins faster than last time though it didn't feel any different.
Damn cold in the bottom end of Kings Pk this morning. My hands started to go numb. The first really cold morning so far this year (although the official min was 6.9 it felt more like 3.9) |
Thursday Apr 26 |
| Running 30:28 [3]6.8 km (4:29 / km) | |
| |
| am: Short recovery run after yesterday's effort. A bit sluggish but otherwise OK |
| Gym 46:00 [2] | |
| weight:73.7kg |
| pm: Usual gym session.
On Saturday I'll start some new exercises using a gym ball. Wasn't enough time to do them tonight :-) |
Wednesday Apr 25 |
| Running 2:00:15 [3]26.1 km (4:36 / km) | |
| |
| am: Long run in Kings Pk. Same as Sun before last. I felt a bit stronger this time and it showed (1.5 min faster). Left ankle was fine. Right glutes complained on and off for most of the run - about time for another session of tennis ball work.
Lots of people walking in the park after the Anzac day service, and more than the usual number of people running. |
| Core stability 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| pm: All the usual core stability and postural stuff |
Tuesday Apr 24 |
| Running 44:23 [3]10.1 km (4:24 / km) | |
| |
| am: Hard work this morning. Didn't really feel switched on. Maybe feeling the effects of the Pilates yesterday evening? |
| Gym 40:00 [2] | |
| weight:74kg |
| pm: Standard gym session. Skimped on the transversus abs exercises because the gym was going to close dead on 7pm. Flew through the rest of the program. Sore from Monday's Pilates !!
Weight seems to be increasing :-( Hopefully it's extra muscle |
Monday Apr 23 |
| Running 30:09 [3]6.8 km (4:26 / km) | |
| |
| am: Easy run to check out the damage after yesterday's terrain run. Actually felt pretty good (for a change), although I won't write off the left ankle just yet - it could easily make a comeback tomorrow. |
| Core stability 50:00 [2] | |
| |
| pm: Pilates. Mostly deep abdominal stuff, with a little glute and hamstring work thrown in. Got a new abdominal exercise to add to the collection. |
