Training Log Archive: slow-twitch

Mostly riverside, Home to Lower Hutt (Dowse). Distance guesstimate with a bit of help from Google. Took less time than I expected or allowed for which is good but means I'm way early for my family lunch date! Need to get back into long easy runs more regularly, this can count as this week 's!

C • Long Easy? 1

And there's the new pb. Couldn't have got there without the 22:30 pacer (who incidentally must have gone a bit faster than that tonight!), even though I was dropping out of his pack by the halfway mark. But still had him in sight for most of the return leg, just never felt I could re-close the gap. Just about bailed in the last km but at each of my little marks was still on target which kept me going. Very gusty but despite all the random headwind and sidewind blasts there were some very fast times at the top of the field too, so there must have been some tailwind in there somewhere as well.

I suppose now I have to start targeting 22, but surely I've earned a little plateau first when things kick off again in the new year??

C • awesome 1

Putting out and bringing in my share of the training controls

Casual training Hutt riverbanks, Melling / KGB. Most of the course was pretty good test for keeping the orienteering flow going at high speed. Had to slow down a bit in the green bits though!

Followed up with 2.5 hours finishing off the Belmont mapping project. Mostly in the Gully of Doom so hopefully after all that effort some course setter will come up with a leg where crossing it is as viable an option as going around!
