Cycled to uni, then later to town, then back from town a long way via ecclesall road to football, then cycled home later.

Cycling 1:06:00 [4]
shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

Went out with Nic to peaks, was gonna go properly into the peaks, but the weather curtailed said plan. Wasn't feeling 100% so found it very hard to get going, and was nowhere near my best on the bike.

Circuits 36:00 [4]
(injured) shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

Usual session, got pissed at a few people for taking the piss out of me for trying. I mean, we are supposed to be encouraging everyone in shuoc, not just newcomers, if i come every week and try and get laughed at, then whats the incentive to keep coming? Apart from that i enjoyed the session.

Circuits warm up/down 33:00 [2]
(injured) shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

Usual warm up/down, jog to circuits, jogging and drills at the start, jog to warm down and stretch at the end, before jogging back home, this time through the park with rhys.

Friday Oct 17, 2008 #

Football (Match) 50:00 [1]
shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

Play in goal, hence low intensity, won 11-6, need to improve my keeping.

Thursday Oct 16, 2008 #

Note
(injured)

Didn't attend intervals as i found a tightness in a muscle? on the outside of my knee after the sprint race and walking around sheffield did it no good either. Hopefully rest and recouperation and a visit to the physio will help.

Orienteering race (Sprint) 23:00 [5] ** 3.94 km (5:50 / km)
shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

ShUOC Series Race 1 Walkley, Crookesmoore and Upperthorpe.

Did ok, ran hard and at one stage caught Barton, but still lacking speed badly. Should be doing sub twenty easy for these. Made no navigation mistakes, maybe a route choice error or two though. Still enjoyed it though.

Orienteering warm up/down 15:00 [2]

Circuits 36:00 [4]
shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

Good bit of banter at circuits today, still 6*6 reps, but with no music, so myself danger and ba-ba made it up. Was good fun, but still need to improve.

Circuits warm up/down 35:00 [3]
shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

8 min easy run to circuits, same back. At circuits the usual 5 jogging at start, 5 at end and stretching. Also did pyramid sprints, which i did a bit harder (hence the 3) which involved to far wall and back, then there and back twice, then 3 times before going down to 2 and then one. This was done in groups of 3, so some rest inbetween.

Running 50:00 [4] 7.8 km (6:25 / km)
shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

Ran with nic on a route through bolehill and into rivelin. Enjoyed the run, but found a lot of pain in my left side and couldnt really get going, so slowed Nic up a lot, as i couldnt run on because i didnt know where i was going. Little disappointed by this, so stretched well afterwards.

Thursday Oct 9, 2008 #

Pyramids 30 sec, 1min, 1.30, 2.00min, 2.30, 3, 2.30, 2, 1.30, 1, 30, with varuing breaks inbetween from 15 seconds for shortest to 30 seconds for longest. Good session, ran hard and really enjoyed it.

Circuits 36:00 [4]
shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

Circuits, 40-20 sets of 6, 6 sets in all. Did well considering i havent done circuits since May. Good to see so many keen freshers and good fun. Off to go and waste all that work on beer now for the fresher meal though. Hmm.

Circuits warm up/down 34:00 [2]
shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

6 minutes running to circuits from house, then 10 minutes of jogging and dynamic stretching. Afterwards, 10 minutes of jogging to warm down, 5 minutes of stretching and then 8 minutes back, although slowed to talk to Olivia at one point.

Orienteering race 1:11:57 [4] *** 8.98 km (8:01 / km) +170m 7:19 / km
spiked:23/29c

District event at Treeton Woods. Ran Brown, first time in ages i've run that distance but was happy i was comfortable with running it. Course 7.6km straight, ran about 9km, but a lot of undergrowth made hard running tricky in places. Orienteering was scrappy at first, with errors on 2,5,6,8,9 and 11, before going to 13 before 12. After that navigation was spot on, had a nice battle with bridge before getting him at 25. Probably lost 5 minutes with errors, which would have been 67, only 6 min down on JT so pleased with that. Need to keep training hard, but felt soreness in quads so will stretch out later

Rough route here:

Orienteering warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.2 km (8:20 / km)

Jogged up to the start with danger, sminty, bridge, JT and Nicky. Did some stretching afterwards, but not enough.

Orienteering warm up/down 10:00 [2]

Light jog back to car park and stretches.

Hour playing football with Tom and people from chaplaincy.They have an awesome nigerian who beat me in most tackles, will be good to play with this year.

Friday Oct 3, 2008 #

Cycling 48:00 [3]

Cycled to Goodwin to register intra-mural badminton team, then biked up to bole hill, including the painful climb up conduit. Then did 30 laps of the BMX track, taking about 25 minutes, and several near crashes. Then came back home via walkley.

Thursday Oct 2, 2008 #

Running intervals 14:00 [5] 2.5 km (5:36 / km)

Hare and Hound Intervals at endcliffe. Running and then being chased down, turning and running back. 15 second rest and then switching around order and continuing until 10 repititions. Full distance was about 190*2*10 so about 3.8km, so estimated i ran about 2.5km. Each interval was around a minute/minute twenty, so fairly hard. Found it harder to maintain raw speed so switched to long strides towards the end of the session to gain speed. Also found the mud fun.

Cycling 30:00 [2]

Cycled into Uni (5 mins) and back (9) before cycling to broomhill for circuits, and cycling back via crookes. A little bit of hill, but not intensive effort.

Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 3.5 km (7:09 / km)

Ran down from broomhill to endcliffe park, then did 3-4 sets of dynamic stretches and jogs across parks edge. Then after intervals, ran round park edge once, before running back to broomhill, via my old flat in birchen to stop and pick up post. Distance approx.

Orienteering 15:00 [4] ** 3.0 km (5:00 / km)
spiked:4/6c shoes: Nike Tiempo Natural TF

Little loops at Endcliffe Park as part of Give It A Go.

Poor bit of training. Did not really get into map and forgot little bits of OK about endcliffe park, so made a few errors. Also wearing wrong shoes for park, was a bit slippery from a days rainfall.

Cycling 30:00 [2]

Cycled to uni from Gemmas (3-4 minutes), then from Uni to the edge (8-9 minutes), left bike at edge to do give it a go before cycling home (15 minutes with a detour around the edge).
