Saturday Aug 25

Run long 2:00:00 [2] ***
ahr:146 shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco
2hr total run.
30mins each way to/from Corstorphine Hill (1hr total). HRM set to 60-70% each way. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1260067
60mins Orienteering Practice without compass (own course from condes) HRM set to 70-80% but often above this.

Was a little unsure about the distance before setting off. Considered, cycling to corstorphine and only runningthe o-course there but that seemed like too short a session. I knew the alternative would push my limits a bit, but knowing that i need to do more distance training, I decided to chance running all of the way there and back as well as the main session.

First half of the orienteering course (heading north) used permanent control positions and second half on own selected features. There is no doubt that the area is mapped to winter vegetation. Man-eating nettles everywhere !!!! (Glad i wore the long leggings) Difficult to access some control locations (especially my own ones)

Found using the new HRM good for keeping my speed down on the way out and up (when i was tired) on the way back.

Fairly stiff after i got back (especially in the Glutes,Lats and Triceps) but probably , at least in part, on account of weight training yesterday.

R Knee also a little achy about an hour after training.

Looking forward to the rest day tomorrow (must stretch though)
