soccer 50:00 [3]

Soccer game with the West-Town Rockets. Tied 2-2. Played pretty well and pretty hard, which felt good. Afterwards my legs felt refreshed.
soccer 30:00 [2]
shoes: adidas predator mania TF
I thought a bunch of Bexley alums were going to play over at MIT, but when I showed up there were only 4 of them there, and then a bunch of older foreign guys (read: lazy, whining, unjustifiably egocentric tramps) so I played for a little while and went home.

Event: CSU Training
 
cycling warm up/down 1:00:00 [2]
To/from Hammond Pond.
Orienteering 30:00 [5] *** 4 km (7:30 / km)
spiked:6/12c shoes: Adidas Novas
CSU Training at Hammond Pond. We had 7 people come out which was pretty cool, and we've got another one planned for next week.

I thought it would be cool to do some training with low navigational stress and high physical stress, so I proposed we mass start at each control and regroup at the next control, take a quick breather while planning the route to the next control, etc. I definitely ran faster than I ever run when I orienteer, and it was nice to see what it is like to run really fast through the woods. On the other hand, I also ran a lot faster than I can navigate, even with a lot of looking at the map beforehand. Alexei suggested that if we want to stress ourselves physically like this, it would be better to completely separate it from the navigation and just run a set loop in the woods with lots of climbing over stuff, etc. He also mentioned that Ross and I plunge ahead without paying attention to features that should clue us in to being off. That was definitely true for this run; I was being a lot less careful than usual. I guess it's bad to practice that.

We were actually out in the woods for about 50 minutes, but there was a lot of standing around. I lost track of which splits were running and which were standing around, so 30 is an estimate.

Tuesday Jun 5

stretching warm up/down 15:00 [0]
running warm up/down (road) 13:00 [2] 1.25 mi (10:24 / mi)
shoes: Gel Cumulus 2006
To the track, plus jogging between stuff.
running race (track) 5:42 [5] 1.0 mi (5:42 / mi) vdot: 51.3
slept:8.0 shoes: Gel Cumulus 2006
Mile time trial. Figured I should probably do one of these to gauge future workouts. Ran a couple of 200s beforehand to gauge speed (targetting 5:40 pace). I think I could have pushed harder earlier on. It didn't feel quite like an all-out effort, but I wasn't really sure what to expect not having done any speedwork in almost a year, so this is good. First split includes the extra bit that makes it a full mile.

Split / AHR / EHR
86.5 / 152 / 171
87.7 / 171 / 173
84.6 / 175 / 178
83.6 / 179 / 179

I'm pretty sure my max HR is a lot higher than this (like 200 or so). Should I be getting to a higher HR by the end, or is that even a reasonable question to ask without more information?
C • max hr 4
running tempo (track) 8:01 [4] 2 km (4:00 / km)
shoes: Gel Cumulus 2006
Figured I should round out the workout with 2x1000m, in theory at T-pace, but I didn't really figure out what the splits should be for that, so it was a bit off. Also I let myself have more rest inbetween than I should. Jogged 200m and stood around for a minute or so in between.

Starting HR = 115
800m - 3:03.9 / 160 / 174
200m - 48.6 / 174 / 173
2:35 rest
400m - 1:33.9 / 152 / 170
400m - 1:44.2 / 169 / 169
200m - 48.9 / 169 / 170

So I guess that's 3:53.5 and 4:07.0; a bit fast.
strength 25:00 [3]
Back and core.
