10ish warm up, bit slack on the warm down oops!

Middle Distance at Pelaw Main. Super fun course from Macey! Felt a bit stop start because there were just so many controls, relatively happy with how i went with my exit direction at least. Lost a bit of time on number 13, it was on a boulder and i overcorrected and ran to what was the only other boulder on the map instead. Legs felt pretty fatigued pretty early!

SL3 - Hard 3b - Splits

Jock left the controls out from the juniors training this morning at Abernethy so i went out after work and did the course. It was about 28mins and then i did a bit extra of surges and collected some controls. Navigation was just ok, i made a few errors with my compass and in the circle again. Calves felt much better today though.

10min to the first start, 5ish back to the car after, and then a bit to the start of the second session.

Joined in on the juniors training for the day. First was a course out at Astleys Tower. It was pretty warm and I got a bit thirsty and finished pretty slowly. Legs were feeling a bit fatigued and my calves were pretty sore. Navigation was alright, i just made a few errors in the circles of some of the short legs through the watercourses. Worried i'm being a bit too safe on the longer legs though, i'll have to work on my confidence a bit more i think!

Then a really fun little course at Southams Road, kind of like a bush sprint! Feeling alot better after this one, i stopped a little early on the first one but had much better control flow and felt like i was moving heaps better. Good fun!

Run in Newcastle, top morning for it! From the mazda place along the foreshore and out the breakwall, back along the beach and then a little extra bit along the breakwall to meet mum and make sure my legs could still move enough on a hard surface. They could - just.

Bit of everything

16min warm up

16min mona at walka. Unfortunately was no where near as good as when i did it before easter! Didn't feel very flash in the stomach, and the filthy smell of the lake probably wasn't helping. But my legs were feeling a bit fatigued and not very speedy at all...

About a 12 min warm down with a bit of technique jogging in there too.

Run at Sugarloaf with Malin and Josh too for the first section. Felt a bit off in the belly and weak in the legs before we started but i got in to it pretty good. Had to hold my cheeks on the downhills to prevent a bit of jarring in my mouth but it's feeling pretty good today, no where near as much beating going on as yesterday! Feels really good and such a relief to have done a proper run again :)

Felt a little flat for my first real session after easter which wasnt great! Just not super amounts of energy in the legs at alll, and i felt a bit sick at a few times. The constant throbbing in my face and neck probably wasn't helping, but at least it wasn't an ache today just pretty uncomfortable. Back to running tomorrow i think!
