Core and theraband stuff

Only a 3min warm down, how slack am I!

Newcastle "Night O" at spears point park, which didn't involve a whole lot of NightO with all the sports fields and street lights. Did not have enough in my legs for all the running, didn't feel fast and i tired pretty bad. The last few controls was super fun! Thought the change to 1:1500 would confuse the hell out of me but there was so much to look at it wasn't so bad. Such a humid night!

Yoga to "brighten my morning"

Warm up and down with drills

At the track with Macey, Rob, Sal and Tamara (woo). 10x 300's with 100m recovery. I did 5, rested one and then did the last 5. Rough wind on the last 100 again! Times were 64-66 (the wind got stronger on the 66 I swear ;)). Tough but i felt alright! I've been running the parkO's and intervals in different shoes without my orthotics and I thought maybe i'd grown out of needing them because i hadn't had any troubles. Today's lower calf pain at the end suggests differently though so i might stop doing that for a bit. I'll be sore tomorrow.

ParkO final at Dudley Public. Made a few silly little time losses in the beginning but then thought i would just lose heaps in the open running. Didn't get too fatigued but i have no idea what my pace was like so maybe it was slower and that's why. Glad to get my name on that trophy, maybe one day I can claim as many wins as Malin ;)

C • Woooo congrats! But how man... 4

Checking some control sites for the women's training weekend at Poppethead. A bit of a hard task checking termite mounds on a map thats faiiiiiiiirly old, some are gone some are new and some are ridiculously hard to see anyway. Out there for over an hour but only covered 4.5km because there was so much confusion. When I was running i was loving it though! Realised how bad i would be at bush mapping :|

To the start of the course and back. Not really a warm up, just kind of continued the same pace in the orienteering but this was just on the tracks. Saw a snake and the biggest bird i've ever come across on the warm down - #straya.

Course at Heart Rate Hills with Macey and Rob. Good fun! Much nicer temperature in the shade of the forest thank goodness. A few killer hills at the end which i didn't quite make it up... Put it all together and today was my long run for the week because tomorrow is the big, all important parko final! Super glad i was convinced to go today, now training is done and Josh and i just made the yummiest and biggest batch of smoothie on earth. Blisssssss

10min on the rower and then a strength session, a bit of everything. I've gotten better at the TRX stuff! Calves are feeling pretty sore today so i think a day off running is good.

16min warm up, 10min warm down. I took the short option home to minimise any extra hills, good move.

Same hills session i did last time but this time at a different place. A nice sharp pinch at the start of the hill with loads of rocks made me feel like i was going nowhere, so it was tough! 8x1min hills, 3min rest, 10x30sec hills. Today was my first day of uni with enough hours to really claim that i'm back at uni, so i was kinda tired and not really feeling like doing this. Maybe not quiteeeee as consistent with my distance as last time but meh, glad i got it done!
