Walking 25:00 [1] 2.4 km (10:25 / km)

Very early and up tempo doggy outing- one sniff and onwards.

Walking warm up/down 1:18:00 [1] 8.0 km (9:45 / km)

Between congressing (ACAAI) a walk to MFA from Hynes then up to common and back. Very nice sunny day.

Friday Nov 4, 2011 #

Walking 27:00 [1] 2.4 km (11:15 / km)
(rest day)

Fresh air. Quads a bit heavy and a tad sore today.

Thursday Nov 3, 2011 #

Walking 21:00 [1] 2.0 km (10:30 / km)

Morning chill
Track today

Jogging warm up/down 29:00 [2] 4.8 km (6:02 / km)

before and after track plus 4x50m strides

Stretching 15:00 [0]

legs static and with stick plus roller

Track intervals (MIT outdoor) 4:20 intensity: (1:00 @3) + (2:00 @4) + (1:20 @5) 1.6 km (2:42 / km)

Now Nov so transition to more speed work. Planned indoors however conditions OK outside breezy / sunny 55 deg- compression shorts and socks plus tights to keep legs toasty and injury free- probably last session outdoors for year I think.
Plan was 4 x400 "breakdowns" @ 90-95% effort ie around 800 RP and 100+300, 200+200, 300+100, 200+200 with 100m (1 1/2 min) recovery within 4's and 200m walk (3min) recovery between. Legs were tired at end of a solid session as follows:
15.7, 50.9 (66.6)
32.8, 33.2 (66.0)
49.2, 15.1 (64.3)
31.8, 31.3 (63.1)
Avg 200 = 32.5

Note

last "hard" 300,100 combo, which was preceded by complete rest / recovery, was back in July end of outdoor season (7/14) @ 48.6, 14.5 (63.1) and 200 avg for entire session of 32.6

Wednesday Nov 2, 2011 #

Walking 22:00 [1] 2.0 km (11:00 / km)

Warm again and showered- so back to normal maybe - feels strange though.

Spin warm up/down 15:00 [2] 7.0 km (2:09 / km)

Quick warm up

Strength (legs, arms and core) 45:00 [3]

More explosive stuff with Gazza- making like a frog jumping etc. Legs had reasonable zip post weekend and rest.

Note

Ah yes, power, force and energy have returned. "Subsistence" living in a cold "out of the comfort zone" house with melted snow for water, Coleman stove, firelogs and 1200 lumen night O headlamp plus sundry other candles was energy sapping.

Tuesday Nov 1, 2011 #

Note

Start of day 3 no power- many layers-iPad battery still has some juice.

Note
(rest day)

Return to comfort at 3pm. At times is was warmer outside than in. No incentive to train today, which body might appreciate anyhow.

Monday Oct 31, 2011 #

Note
(rest day)

No power, heat or water- maybe wednesday. Batteries fading. No work today.

Walking 27:00 [1] 2.4 km (11:15 / km)

Warmer out than in the house.

Sunday Oct 30, 2011 #

Orienteering race (Relay champs) 42:41 intensity: (2:00 @3) + (35:00 @4) + (5:41 @5) **** 6.4 km (6:40 / km)
spiked:17/19c

Creve Coeur lake and running leg 3 (red) for CSU team 3 (team 1 not in attendance :-) Fast terrain SL= 5.9k
Hand off from PG- steady run for first 1/3 then upped the pace a tad.
Two errors- 30 sec on #5 overshoots, then 1 min #13 drawn to wrong rootstock. Otherwise clean and tired at end with 310m sprint in. Hand off to Greg who brought us in for third.
Got into spectator mode to cheer incoming Mikkel who prevailed over Wyatt in the sprint in- Mano a mano racing. CSU team 2 taking the 4 pt champs.
Great efforts by both CSU teams and a very pleasant weekend of O.

Note

Good flight home via Charlotte. Ominous blackout from Bedford on, many trees and power lines down around Carlisle. Home to no power, no heat no water etc. Spousal appreciation in order. And likely no trip to the office tomorrow!
