| Orienteering race (SoSOL 1 at Culteucher) 1:27:43 [5] *** 9.5 km (9:14 / km) | |
| ahr:165 max:179 21c slept:9.0 shoes: Inov8 Mudroc 208 | ||
| Definitely not fit enough to have done the BROWN course justice but figured i had better start off as i mean to go on for the season.
Windy day, felt quite cold indeed on the open hills. Glad i brought my buff with me as i needed it in the latter half of the run. Quads started to drain after about 45mins. Heart Rate until that point was around 170-175 but then dropped to around 150bpm, even though the percieved effort was actually more from that point on. A number of minor mistakes but nothing huge, maybe 1min loss tops for the biggest error. Not a bad performance considering recent injury and associated lack of training / competition. | ||
Saturday Oct 20 | ||
| Stretching 15:00 [1] | |
| Glutes/periformus a bit on the tight side.
Quads tight too, but no worse than usual for the last week or more. Was expecting calfs to be worse than they were after last nights hard-surface run. | ||
Thursday Oct 18 | ||
| Orienteering race 26:30 [4] * | |
| 21c shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco | ||
| Was standing there for ages waiting to be told to 'GO', but eventually upon asking about it was told to start when i wanted too. As it turns out my stop watch didnt start when i did start running (thought wrongly that i had pressed the button) so i didnt know how long i took. Somehow though, my 'time' is recorded in the results, but no idea how they would have got my time if they were not in fact not recording start and finish themselves. So it sounds to me like my time was from when i got my map (or a few seconds after) therefore recording my time as much longer than I actually took.
That said, with fitness down and not pushing tooooo hard, no way i'd have been anywhere near James, Tom, or Kyle (all officially at least 5 1/2 mins faster.... impressive stuff) Race itself was a very good session; an all too rare midweek test of thinking on my feet, especially with the new area / map factor of having never been to the KB campus before. Beats doing laps of the meadows with a big s#*^y stick! Looking forward to the rest of the FWTN series now too, as the navigation challenges increase in proper darkness from here on in. | ||
| Cycle warm up/down 45:00 [3] | |
| slept:6.0 | ||
| Cycle from work to FWTN, via Bens house to drop off trophy.
Cycle home again then after the Orienteering. Probably could have done with some more stretching. | ||
Wednesday Oct 17 | ||
| Note | |
| slept:7.0 | ||
| Late back to the office from Glasgow. No chance of getting to O training, (regardless of the fact that i've got this planning application to finish off).
Hopefully do FWTN tomorrow tho. I've not been to KB before even in daylight ... should be a good challange. | ||
Tuesday Oct 16 | ||
| Run 30:00 [3] | |
| (injured) shoes: Brooks Vapour | ||
| The wife's birthday; taking her out in the evening, so time fotr training was precious.......Lunch Time jaunt round meadows.
Shock horror ... i got a stitch. Wasnt running at 'pace' or anything, so it was possibly on account of eating about 45 mins before going out. Feeling a bit tight in pecs, upper back and inner thigh, i assume from pump yesterday morning. | ||
Monday Oct 15 | ||
| Strength (Class) 1:00:00 [3] | |
| slept:4.0 (injured) shoes: Reebok Premier Lite | ||
| Couldnt get to sleep at 10 when i thought i was tired. Got up again for some food, back to bed and still couldnt sleep. Up again and did some drawing on the computer till just before 2am.
Tired getting up for the Gym this morning. Cut the weight for EVERY track in half of what i would have used so there wasnt a risk of hurting rib cage. Man, those quads have lost a lot of strength. They will need some work. Seemed fine otherwise, could feel a slight tug (no pain) during abs track. | ||
