ahr:151 max:171 slept:8.5 shoes: Inov8 X-talons 225
Easy morning run. Had a nice lie in as day off today. Very cold or but real sunny too so went with sunglasses. Small bit of DOMs bit felt good really.
7 PM
Running (road) warm up/down 16:28 2.26 km (7:18 / km) +26m 6:54 / km
ahr:118 max:143 shoes: VJ Bold
Very cold night down south of Stockholm. Some warm up along the road to the start, though no one seemed to know if that was actually the way to the start or not! Gave the forest snow a brief tester and it was that lovely crust that holds until you try to push off it, sapping all your energy.

Tiomila Test LiveLox - Results
Big start group (95) and a fairly stacked field meant this was always lined up to be a bit hectic. Start was a pushing affair and I was kinda far back really but from the off I never really felt I had any power in my legs. Stayed in the tracks for the first few until after punching 3 they went in totally the wrong direction to another gaffle. Wasn't 100% confident on my own suddenly and wandered around a bit before finding it.
Though left would work for 5 and it should have but in a rush of blood I thought to cut between the paths. It was heavy and tough, not finding the elephant tracks at first but then when I did having no clue where they were taking me. Eventually hit the path with no idea so followed it to a definite point, resulting in no tracks for the last bit, so even slower.
Tiring after this adventure, 6 & 7 were ungaffled and just track following. Used tracks out of 8 but was totally unaware of where I was. Hit the first road and stopped to make sense of it but got nothing. Worked it out on the second and then chose not the best route choice. Slow execution late in the leg cost me too. Ok finish, at least beat the guy who got to 9 just in front of me.
Not super happy but body didn't have the spring I would have hoped for. Sloppy orienteering too and lacking in confidence in the night. Time behind was actually kind of ok if it was individual start but I should do better in mass starts.

ahr:107 max:147 shoes: New Balance Vazee
Back to the gym. A really pretty morning with the sun shining. Unfortunately it was also -10 and seemed to be just ice with a light dusting of snow so the run to and from the gym was slow enough!
run to gym
6 mins warm up row
warm up stretchy things
numbers are kgs:
3x6 cleans 30, 40, 45
3x6 squats 60, 70, 70
3x6 deadlifts 60, 60, 60
10x box jumps
5x one leg box jumps
core (in 1 min chunks, front, back, upper body X3)
6 mins cool down spinning bike (all rowers occupied)
run home
Concious of having a Tio test tomorrow and not having been in the gym much recently so didn't go mad with the weights and made sure my form was good. I also modified the exercises slightly but more because I wanted better balance and productivity.

slept:8.5
Slept badly, felt stupidly warm. Got an ice pack and put it on my chest which fixed that.
6 PM
Running (road) intervals 1:10:15 14.3 km (4:55 / km) +69m 4:48 / km
ahr:135 max:171 shoes: New Balance Vazee
Intervals on a cold dry evening. My lungs were not happy about the air and I had a few pretty intense coughing fits.
Mostly in the 4m/k range which is ok considering I suppose. Would be nice to be faster but was working hard by the end. Underfoot was mostly fine for the intervals. 5 & 6 were a bit icy slush though.

IOA meeting dragged on a bit last night. Would have liked to go to bed earlier but no harm done.

Nose very runny today suddenly. Made worse by a random slow nosebleed which has essentially never happened to me before.

Still car issues so cycling today. Super slushy made it difficult in some places. Tailwind made it pretty quick.

Tisdagsbana P
Normally I do make some attempt at reading the map on tisdagsbana. Today there was no illusion to that fact. Snow and it was heavy going. There was an early loop though that only the group I was in took so the was a nice trail for the first part. It did mean more of that acceleration that so saps the legs as we had to later pass those groups. Some physical bits up and down on the edge of Hågadalen and there was some splintering of the group. Worked as long as I could to stay with it. Albin sped through the group and then we climbed a big crag at about 13.5k so there was some queuing and the pace went up after. That was where I lost it. Died getting back to Norbyskogen so took the easier road option as I wasn't doing any favours trying to go through the forest.

A slow cycle home. The slush from earlier had mostly frozen and there was a massive headwind. Tough going. Also I was super dead from Tisdagsbana so that didn't help. Really suffered over the course of the evening.

Easy run to Gympa. A little late but cruised nicely. Slushy and shoe choice was wise.
Watch seems to have deleted this though for some reason.

Gympa!
Haven't been to this in a while and I knew about it on some exercises but overall felt pretty good I think.

Long one from KG. Decent sized group which meant plenty of people churning up the snow at first. They dropped off gradually and by the end we were only 4. We went to some corner of Nåsten where there has been some felling and ran around the edge so it can be added to the map. Slow, but tough going. Pretty with all the snow but it'll get old relatively quickly I suspect.

ahr:145 max:162 shoes: VJ Bold
After it snowed all night I still thought it could be fun to go do some oing. The warm up suggested I might have been wrong. Two elljusspår loops in Järlåsa which was ploughed but still very heavy going.
O-training 55:18 ** 4.59 km (12:03 / km) +14m 11:52 / km
ahr:153 max:172 spiked:10/10c shoes: VJ Bold
Middle distance in Järlåsa. Started second so had Olle G tracks until I caught him. That coincided with falling off the edge of the road unexpectedly headfirst into a snow drift and being caught by the other 3 guys so I still had tracks. This meant the oing was relatively trivial. Cut from 6 to 11 as it was going to take way too long to do the whole course. That meant I did have to break fresh snow for this part but that was kinda fun in some horrible way. One part, by 14, was just knee deep trudging. Speed was not high in general! Enjoyed it.
5 PM
Running (road) 40:12 7.7 km (5:13 / km) +6m 5:12 / km
ahr:134 max:166
Snuck in run number two between the rugby matches. Went North in my new shoes. I've decided they're not too big for me. Was a little concerned. Pleasant enough. Felt like I had nice form and moving well.
