 | Running 25:00 [5] | |
| |
| Hallamshire session at Admiral Rodney. 8 x 3/4 lap of a hilly field with 1/4 walk recovery. Each rep about a minute run as a relay with Mike. Followed by a 10min shuttle relay with the occasional extra exercise introduced mid-run (press-ups, squats, star jumps, etc). Added a bit of variety but still hard work! |
| Running 35:00 [2] 7 km (5:00 / km) | |
| |
| Out and back from home, with Mike on the way back. |

| Running 25:00 [2] 5 km (5:00 / km) | |
| |
| Easy up to Bolehill park at lunchtime. Legs not feeling as bad as expected. |
| Orienteering 37:00 [4]**** 7 km (5:17 / km) | |
| |
| Eccy woods spring cup. Ran at a decent pace and stayed in control most of the time. Lost it a bit on some of the short legs towards the end where I was completely failing to plan ahead. It is the hardest area in the world after all. Beaten by Nails on my own map (although he is a cheat). |
| Running 25:00 [2] 4 km (6:15 / km) | |
| |
| Warm up and a warm down with Magic and Nails via a mysterious rock covered in ancient engravings. It's a depressing thought, but give it another week and the whole of England will be covered in a thick layer of impenetrable brambles/nettles/bracken. |
Tuesday May 13 |
| Track session 35:00 [5] 6 km (5:50 / km) | |
| |
| Track session, strides and drills followed by 6 x 400 @ 3km pace, 4 x 350 @ 1500 pace, 3 x 200 @ 1500 pace. All with a 200m jog recovery. Not many folk there tonight--only three in our group and I had to set the pace for a change. Got it more-or-less right I think...71, 71, 71, 71, 70, 71, 62, 62, 62, 60, 33, 32, 31. The short reps were hard on my calves, but a pretty good session. |
| Running 55:00 [2] 10 km (5:30 / km) | |
| |
| To track and back with Jenny. Resisted the Fat Cat this time and made it home for some choco milk instead. |

Sunday May 11 |
| Orienteering 1:40:00 [4]***** 17 km (5:53 / km) | |
| spiked:35/38c |
| Long distance using all the best bits of the area. Felt jaded after yesterday but kept the motivation for the first hour, then all I could think about was the water tap that was coming up when the course went through the car park. Had a short rest then carried on for a bit, but didn't manage to finish the epic I had planned myself. Cooled off with a dip in the sea after. |
