| 100% trails and roads intervals 1:34:00  17 km (5:32 / km) +485m 4:50 / km | |
| shoes: Mizuno Wave Precision 8 |
| Intervals:
5x (3.5 min uphill full speed, 200m footing/walking, 1km on the track full speed), rest: jog down to the start of the uphill interval (about 5.5min).
This was a pretty long training! Several times I was really close not to do that training:
-Coming home from work I was so tired
-While I started running it started snowing/hailing
-The first interval felt like I was totally rusted
But finally I was really happy to have done it. The sky even opened on my last interval and I ran my last 1 km under a beautiful sky of stars.
My times uphill got slower and slower, eventhough I didn't notice I was easing the pace. From 3:19 for the first and 3:33 for the last uphill interval.
Times for the 1 km on the 300m track: 3:05, 3:03, 3:09, 3:06, 3:03 |
Tuesday Apr 1 |
| 100% trails and roads 22:00 [1]4 km (5:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Mizuno Rider 11 |
| Morning footing. 46 hours of rest and sleeping in your own bed can do wonders. My legs and energy feel again fresh!
I couldn't believe how much snow we have at home! In some parts of the forest there are almost 40cm!!! And I believed the winter returned in Scandinavia... |

| (rest day) |
| Work and meetings filled my rest day... quite a contrast to the last 10 days 100% dedicated to orienteering. |
