Running warm up/down 15:00 [1]

7 min to start, 8 min back (didn't run all the way to start)

So after yesterday's ankle-crunching debacle, was very careful running out- no probs, except when I went off trail to have a quick bathroom break before start. Then crunched. Not good. Almost went back it, but told myself I could start the race, but had to come back in at the first crunch, no matter what...

Orienteering 1:12:39 [1] 7.29 km (9:58 / km) +230m 8:36 / km
shoes: Asics Stratus

Weee!! Went orienteering for the first time in ages! Was super-careful, didn't crunch the ankle, and wasn't actually too ridiculously bad for jogging.

Spiked most controls, some confusion at 9 where I was just too high, and the finish, for some reason?

Jog (partly walking) back home, then over to get my weekly veg box from the neighbors!

Hard session. Legs feeling better, but not awesome yet. Good to push it on the down hill too. Heel felt fine!

Running warm up/down 30:26 [1]
shoes: Asics Stratus

Warm-up = 11 min
Warm-down = 9.5 min
Everything else = recovery between intervals

Running intervals 21:00 [5]
shoes: Asics Stratus

Uni Parks Intervals, with *people*!!!!

Met up with 4 others in uni parks, and did an interval pyramid. Luckily, housemate Jess also was there, so I wasn't alone, miles behind the boys. I did 1-2-3-4-5-3-2-1, first 6 with Jess. 1 min recovery except for before 5 and second 3, when it was 2 min. I didn't do the full pyramid, which would have been another 5+4... *easing* into it.

Speaking of which, very slight tingle in the heel today. Not pain, but tingle.

Running 35:20 [1]
shoes: Asics Stratus

Still sore from track Sat!! Tight shins, tight calves, tight hamstrings, quads don't seem so bad.

Round Uni Parks a bit, ran into buddy Chris from New, chatted a bit then headed over to Sports ground, where I did a few more laps, then attempted some drills, but calves were far too sore to execute. So stretched for a good 6 min or so, which is probably helpful.

Strength 53:00 [1]

Circuits!
Could do some of the leg stuff today, which was nice. Not burpees or silly running on ground things because of the crunchy ankle.

Running warm up/down 6:00 [1]
shoes: Asics Stratus
