Training Log Archive: T - runner

City Safari with Mitchell - fun, but very long and towards the end my legs were getting pretty sore and after we'd finished I didn't warm down (we were going pretty slowly by then anyway) and when I got up after the prizegiving I could hardly walk! We chose the wrong area of the map to go to (Miramar and Island Bay) - too many 20 point controls and too spread out. SHould have gone north into the hills.

~15mins warmup, 20 mins harder, 15mins warmdown. Went from Gurkha Crs to Khandallah Park, around a few of the flatter tracks and down to Simla Crs, then back, looping through Khandallah Park again. Felt fairly flat, which was not fun.

Rest day and lots of class time.

Run from Gurkha Crs up Mt Kaukau through Khandallah park, up the spur, and with the extra loop at the bottom, then back via the front roads. Felt good, and beat the darkness, which was a bit closer than I had planned after our last tute today went over time by an hour!

Same as last time.

7min warmup, 7min warmdown - would have done longer but it was dark and I was tired, and getting cold at the end.

10x 33 second intervals with 1min30s recoveries, ended up just being up the street over the road on the asphalt - picked that street because it has a very slight upwards incline which hopefully wasn't too hard on my legs. Got home from uni when it was too dark to do anything else, which was annoying, but these were fun anyway.

Run from Gurkha Crs up the middle track of Kaukau by the creek, and down the spur I usually go up - decide this is a bad idea, as it is really steep going down, so is pretty slippery, plus you have to go really slowly. Straight route back. Really wish I could bike again.

I was pretty gutted today to find out that I have to have surgery on my wrist sometime soon. The ligaments haven't healed and one has gone a funny shape trying to, so I have to ahave an operation to fix them. Don't know exactly when yet, but it sucks, and I hate the driver of that car even more!

From Gurkah Crs up Mt Kaukau, plus the extra little loop and back via the front roads. Horrible weather and it was pretty nasty going over the top in the open. I still seem to have a huge capacity to freak myself out, especially in weather like this - only saw two people the whole way, and they were both pretty close to the carpark, but I kept thinking I'd heard someone. Pretty sure it was just rain.

Glut exercises.
