Training Log Archive: Hol

Managed to irritate my ankle in PE by kicking a ball (stupid I know). It's swollen up again but nowhere near as badly as before. No training today unfortunately (was intending to do some hills) and maybe not tomorrow. :(

Chasers Urban Score in Uttoxeter. The way the map was mapped didn't quite click with me, especially in the town centre. I struggled to match the map to the ground. There were a few controls that I lost a lot of time on (one due to the way the circle was placed) and others just from me being an idiot. I panicked a lot in the fields and alleys as I couldn't see as far as I wanted and there were a lot of chavs and dogs. I misjudged distance a bit too. In the end I got 11 controls but was 30 seconds late. The only positive thing I can take from that was me speed. I started to push it after I lost loads of time and never seemed to burn out. I guess now I can start pushing myself harder :)

1 hour of Tap - not too exciting, nothing more learned. Decided to push the ankle a bit and it seemed good
1 hour of Street - sick class!! Really fast
1 hour of Heels - so fun but I just spent the whole hour laughing at myself because I thought I looked stupid. Definitely something I'll be carrying on with though!

10 mins on the core stability ball
10 mins on the wobble board (ankles are a priority)
10 mins rolling legs and the spiky ball on my feet

A longer run with Henry with quite a lot of climb and mostly on single track (something I'm really not used to). I enjoyed the challenge though and it felt good to be further out on the chase again. I struggled up a lot of the hills so walked a bit but I guess that's an area to focus on. We also spent 5 mins of that time looking at stars and another 2 trying to work out where we were.

Short slow loop. Felt absolutely grim but I thought it would make me feel better after. Jet lag had me up at 4 this morning so I'm absolutely shattered (especially after being back at school). I aimed to keep it slow and keep my heart rate down.

Created a 15ish minute loop with a fair amount of climb to test myself every so often on my fitness (kind of as a progress tracker).
Today I just figured out the loop and did one lap slowly. So so jetlagged and still feel ill but it feels good to be home :)
