Running warm up/down 8:48 [3]
ahr:126 max:136
Warm up at Gullane.
Orienteering race 1:11:06 [4]
ahr:160 max:171
Brown course at Gullane. After disappointing day yesterday I wanted to focus on process and getting navigation right. Not quite fully focussed at start; took bad route choice 3-4 and got totally stuck in the green, then got distracted by crowds standing looking puzzled near the control. Settled down after that, although one other mistake gave me a tail of Paul T and Alice Leake, who gave me an extra bit of focus and I led them round the rest of the course. Happier but still not perfect.

Warm up for sprint at KIngs Buildings, Edinburgh. Ran up to the top of observatory hill and back down, then drills next to start.
Orienteering race 16:50 [4]
ahr:166 max:178
Sprint race, Kings Buildings, Edinburgh. Missed a couple of route choices and Pippa caught and overtook me. Disappointed.

ahr:124 max:136
Easy warm down with Becks, Pip and Helen B after sprint race.
Running warm up/down 20:01 [3]
ahr:141 max:161
Warm up for British Nights on Pentlands. Not great location for doing drills and hadn't done enough running before starting drills.
Orienteering race 1:15:59 [3]
ahr:154 max:176
British Night Champs, Pentland Hills. Was really looking forward to race, thought I should be able to do well. Got totally distracted by TV cameras at start, but still nailed 1; pushed hard on the long leg up the hill then got the approach to 2 totally wrong and got totally demotivated sliding about on a snowy slope when I was in the wrong place. Things got worse again on 4 so when Helen B caught me up I stopped trying to race. Should have probably retired, but made myself finish.

10 min warm up on flat before picking up pace (AHR 138)

Running intervals 20:22 [5]
ahr:155 max:173
Early morning session, 5min warm up, 10min of 20-20 session, 5min warm down. Concentrating on high knees and short stride lengths. Not as good without drills as warm up but still a really good quality session.
Running 18:04 [3]
Warm up jog to gym - all outside so much more pleasant than treadmill.
Weight Training 1:00:58 [3]
Usual weights session. Really tired but still pushed myself hard. Got into the squats cage again so that was hard work.
Gym Cardio Machines 5:00 [1]
Very easy spin on the bike in the gym before jogging home to get the lactic out of my muscles.

Running hills 27:03 [4]
ahr:150 max:175
Hills session: 2 sets of 5 reps of 1min up, 90s rest; 5min rest between sets. Really good, cold crisp evening, snow on the ground again; pushed on hard and got further up the hill than I did last time I did this session.

ahr:134 max:148
Easy warm down - back up the hill then along and down the Cleveland Way.
