Orienteering warm up/down 20:00 [1]

I did a 10 minute jog to the start
5 minutes or more of drills
Then a jog back to the car to cool down

Orienteering (GO Ambersham Common) 1:04:11 [3] 8.5 km (7:33 / km) +180m 6:50 / km

I was going for having a plan again and I was going fast but not too much , did try to treat it as training but did forget a couple of times.
Was in the main a nice area had a slow start but that might be just tiredness from yesterday need to stretch last night probably, I also nearly always need to time to get the feel of an area and the race.

Southern Inter-counties XC today, I ran for Hertfordshire.
Not sure position but I was third Herts girl under 20 which I'm pleased with was only one place behind the second herts girl!
Felt nervous bout the race but not overly so knew I wasn't really competitive and had an awful first loop then clawed way through a few places in the second loop especially up and down the hill kept losing round on people on the long flat bit,so I know my best bit in XC the hills! I didn't even find them that bad which is good!!

A recovery type run in prep for race on Saturday was very easy could talk most of the way round. Also on road, making it easier to run, as it seems very similar to my run i tried much ahrder on yesterday, however yesterday it was soooo muddy and hard to run.

Went for a fast run instead of a long run, decided need to move into faster runs still with the distance think I should do some more terrain runs too. I did the mile at the end in 7:59 minutes which isnt the fastest I've done it but not too slow either.

Core (Start Programme) 35:00 [1]

Part two except had to miss the end so missed on each of lunges, 747 and running man because had to go to Pickets Lock indoor track.

Running (Pickets Lock indoor track) 1:20:00 [3]

Did a session at pickets lock to see the new indoor track and have a session with a different coach.
We did a 20 minute warm up jogging about 1km then drills and stretching.
Then we did 90s 2 min rest, 60s, 2 min rest, 30s 5 min rest and repeat again. It was really hard indoors could feel it in my core but I got the same both times round and I was pushing!
Then we did a short cool down/transition jog to do a 15 min circuit session. Then we cooled down 500m jog
Was interesting. I saw Dwain Chambers he watched us do the circuit session while he was having a massage.
