Training Log Archive: Cat T

UK Cup final, a bit of a cross-country course round an army barracks. Still managed to lose a bit of time though (about 40s through route choices and being a bit blonde?), felt stronger physically than before, the k's are starting to work. Still got tired and slowed towards the end though: more intervals needed... Muscles on inside of both shins really tight after yesterday, think i got away with it but definitely no running tomorrow.
Didn't get my head into it until about control 10, but had fun, was real good running training for bigger races :-)

Jogging, drills and all that...

BOC relay, first leg, first time racing for a really competitive EUOC team :-)
Felt awful first thing this morning, and in the race kept feeling like I was gonna go dizzy, but made myself take it steady and kept going well. Technically easy terrain, still managed to lose a few seconds here and there but quite pleased with my navigation on the whole. Need to sharpen up, tomorrow will be good practice for that.
Physically stronger than two weeks ago (not saying much!), still work to do but feel like fitness is coming back a bit now. Shins aching afterwards up the muscle on the inside, both legs, have massaged them, hope they feel okay for tomorrow.

Jogging about and trying to do drills in the start box

Event: British Long Distance Orienteering Champs
 

Not running BOC individual, so kind of an enforced rest day as I watched my family and revised. Looking forwards to a fast and furious relay tomorrow :-)

At home, nice walk to the gym, x-trainer just for fun (shins still feeling a bit sore and couldn't fit my aquabelt in my bag) Had Lucy's ipod for some good workout tuuunes :-)
Bit of a cough but feeling much better than before. Long journey and lots of revision to do tomorrow...

Feeling completely stressed out and tired! Had a nightmare of an exam this morning, so just doing some gentle stuff to get me out the house for a bit. Hope I feel better by the weekend!

Post-exam stress-release at CSE. Not really long enough to be a proper 'long' training but my legs are aching after intervals and I don't wanna push too hard, got another (scarier) exam tomorrow that I need to be wide awake for. Shins a bit sore today too :-(
Also, I'm STILL not eating enough, keep waking up in the night hungry!
Looking forwards to a weekend of parents' catering, especially free cake...

4x1km, so more than before, will try 5 next time. On my own, everyone else doing 400s, so hard to keep going. Concentrating on technique. Shins were fine woooop!
Guessing the times, lost my watch! Felt kinda slow though. Maybe cos I haven't done anything hard in the past week and it was a shock to the system? Or still run-down? Or both?
