Pretty solid January. Happy enough. Keep this up now and should be looking good for the spring competitions. I need to try and get some more orienteering in if I can in Feb. Portugal will help, but there should be some on a weekly basis.

Wednesday - 1hr run Howth
Thursday - Easy run
Friday - am gym
Saturday - night-o, maybe easy run earlier in the day?

Orienteering race 46:36 [4] ** 8.8 km (5:18 / km) +70m 5:06 / km

Donadeea local event.
Learned from last night and just payed attention to the map. What made the difference from yesterday was just this. Kept the legs just ticking over and ran along. Felt pretty good mostly, a small bit tired near the end in some of the foresty bits but nothing bad. Orienteering was not hard at all. Donadea can be some much more interesting I think, though the running on the trail is nice.

Long one.
Parked up in Hellfire. Did most of an anticlockwise lap of the forest there. It was pretty cold on the way up and had to put on the full gloves. Nice little loop here. Then dropped down the steep forest and cut through some field into the adjacent forest. Tough climb here through some muddy stuff. Nice bit of path then over to the Dublin mountains way and along that to the hairpin at the top of Massey's. Hands were too warm then somehow and took off my gloves!
Plan was to get back here after 1:40. Went up Glendoo then, going straight up from the hairpin. Felt a bit tired here on the top but was having a great time so didn't care too much. Little fall on the way down since it was stupidly icy but no problems really. Boardwalk was the slipperiest thing ever, as they do be in icy conditions. Down the track then and took the little path that goes down beside the road. This was a nice little piece of forest here. Then down through Massey's to the bottom and back up to Hellfire. Nice run lovely day out.

Night-o in Ballinascorney.
Welp, this was pretty bad. Didn't really try very hard to actually read the map which doesn't work very well for orienteering. Just made a lot of sublimely stupid mistakes. Like on 8 I hit the road bang on the junction but just assumed I was not in the right place and ran off down the road. Next time I will remember to read the map.
On a positive note, good running distance today!
25.6km 1000m climb :)

Jog with Gina over to the Munich hills. It was foggy in the park. That fog that sits at about 7ft above the ground. A bit cool really. Ground was freezing as well so not too wet or muddy.
Running (road) hills 24:34 [4] 5.04 km (4:52 / km) +46m 4:39 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
3x 1mile with hills 90s rest
Took to the Munich hills lap I invented in November. Went by feel and tried to just stay at a steady strong pace not looking at splits on the way or anything.
There were deer on the hills and it was really creepy since you could hear them in the dark bashing antlers together. Also with the fog could see basically nothing! It was really think. Felt strong the whole time though maybe went a bit fast on the second! The first hill took it out of me on the 3rd and I has a decent bit of lactic that I had to power through. Did decently though the form was not great near the end. Almost 15s faster than the reps in November. Excellent!
6:43, 6:32, 6:44

Long one on 3Rock with Cillin and Roisin. Gina was there at the start too but she did a shorter run.
Was very icy and foggy which made moving with any speed very difficult. Thus it was a bit slower. We stopped for a minute up near the top and turned off our lots in the fog and you could see surprisingly well. Nice run and felt pretty good the whole way.

shoes: Asics GT 1000
Easy morning run around Smithfield and Arbor Hill area. These places seem so much nicer at the early hours of the morning than late at night.
I think I will have to retire these shoes from running as I can't even do 4k in them without the beginnings of a blister coming on. They seem fine for the gym though so I guess they can just be gym shoes.

Few warm up laps and then drills. Feeling unsurprisingly heavy.

ahr:151 max:161 shoes: Asics Gel 1170
12x 400m 30s rest
Started off fine but the rest really catches up with you. Felt more and more tires and was pretty spent by the end. Was a bit rainy and got pretty slippery, I should really wear spikes or inov8s or something. Same group as I've been with and was pretty much in the middle the whole way. Times slowed down a bit near the end. First few were too fast.

Some laps with Michael and a new guy. He is the most comfortable looking runner I have ever seen. I said he looked comfy out in the intervals and he said he was dying. Damn.
