Had a geology field trip all day and got back feeling fairly tired but went out for a run around the Meadows and Links.

Core 50:00 [2]
Went to the gym in the morning and did some core work and some weights.
Running (Intevals) 20:00 [4]
Met up with Hector after he had done his session and did some sprints on the treadmill, to improve leg speed. Did about 3 minutes jogging pace then put up the speed to something that I could maintain for about a minute, and then ran at that pace for 90 seconds.
Did that 4 times, each time getting faster for longer. Ended up at 16.2km/hr I think. Almost fell off the back of the treadmill at this pace though.

Morning run around the meadows avec Jet :)
Race (Time Trial) 16:30 [5]
Did Toni's time trial again. I ran the first loop with Jet as she did her second and the ran my second loop with Toni, so was running fairly hard all the way. Also, didn't get lost this time which took a massive amount off my time.
Times for the two loops were - 8.14, 8.16

Orienteering 1:22:14 [3]
Went out to the far end of the Pentlands for a long run/orienteering course on a contour only map. Borrowed Hector's thumb compass to try out but didn't really like using it.
Probably could have run for longer but don't want to make myself ill again.

Intervals 33:09 [3]
went down to intervals. Found it well hard being the first proper training after being ill.
Anyway, did the same as usual but missed out the last 1km as I felt like a lump of something really heavy like lead or something. And i got pooed on by a bird, so not a good evening really.
2 x 2km - 9.49, 10.22
2 x 1km - 4.45, 4.39
Mainly ran the intervals by myself as I couldn't keep up with Jet and Paddy, which was amazingly boring, especially the second 2km.

Orienteering 2:47:00 [4]
Blodslittet in Norway. Amazing terrain, not so amazing run. Was one of the worst races I can remember. I was totally not focused at the start and made a massive mistake at number 1 and was so concerned with trying not to loose the pack that I messed up number 2 massivley too. So I ran nearly the whole thing by myself and only really saw people on my first run-through when I was lapped. No joke.
However, mentally started the race again on the second loop and my navigation improved slightly but still wasn't really concentrating properly. Also has some issues with my compass, I kept seeming to have my map disorientated which was a little worrying.
Not a good race, lots to learn though, especially about focus and concentration.

Running (Jog) 43:00 [2]
Morning jog around the meadows. Was a teeny bit late but managed to find everyone. Getting sore feet though, possibly from running in trainers all the time.
Running (Time Trial) 18:40 [4]
Went and did the time trial Toni planned. Ran the first loop with Toni but kinda lost where he went and got a little lost... Which is why the time for the first loop is so much longer than the first one.
Times were - 9.37, 9.03
Times were - 9.37, 9.03
Running (Warm Up/Down) 25:00 [2]
Jogging to and from the start of the time-trial

Core 40:00 [2]
Went to the gym and did some strength suff. Was majorly over-run with men pretending to lift massive weights while admiring thier biceps. Not a terribly bad thing though.
Warm up/down 1:45:00 [3]
Long run in the Pentlands with Jet (and Hollie for a bit before she got too fast for me). Did a course that Toni planned which was all in terrain. Probably went a bit too far, as once I got to the furthest place from the minibus, I was knackered.

Running (Warm up/down) 20:00 [2]
Cycling to and from the gym and the warm up/down that I did in circuits. I made the mistake of looking in the mirror while doing the boxing thing in the warm up and realised just how stupid I really look pretending to hit somone.
6 PM

Went to advanced circuits but took it slightly easy as I don't wan to get ill again. But was loving training again and my I love circuits with a passion, its awesome.

Orienteering (Sprint Race) 27:18 [3]
FWTN down at KB. It was a really good course but my head torch kept falling off so i just carried it which wasn't really all that effective.
Also have massive leg ache from all the road running I've been doing so will have to make sure I don't over do it.
