Training Log Archive: Jo Shepherd

Went to Loch Vaa for the ROMP with Dad and Roz. We did a loop north of the railway first which had clusters of controls separated by longer legs. I just took it fairly slowly and tried to stay in touch and know what was coming up ahead. Went quite well although a couple of controls in the vaguer area I expected a wee bit early. Then we did a loop south of the railway which I tried to do a bit faster and went pretty cleanly. Then ran about 3km back through heather and on tracks to the car.

Swimming club
The first 30mins I just mainly did front, back and breaststroke quite slowly, then did 3 sets of 16 lengths one length fast/one slow, followed by 4x100m IM and then some slower stuff again. I think I might try to do the one length fast/one length slow thing more often so long as the tanks not too busy as its more interesting than just swimming constantly at the same pace.

At Inverness Harriers
We did 16 x 200m with 45s standing rest between each. Good pace.
Was going ok till about the 8th but by the 11th/12th I definitely wasn't fully recovered from the last 200m by the time we started the next one.
Found it pretty tough but it was good training.

After that we did lots of stretching, some press-ups and plank, and then some 100m strides.
