Running - easy 44:00 [2]
shoes: Saucony Kinvara - July 2017

Last day of my off-season! Training hasnt looked too much different to normal but now i'll be having a bit more focus on sessions, maybe a bit less volume to begin with to accommodate that. And that was the last weekend of partying! Hope to benefit from a bit better quality rest for the next few weeks :-D

Easy round hökarängen and friends. Quite functional following the trip home from Halikko but legs are v tired.

Orienteering - hard 35:00 [4]
shoes: Inov-8 XTalon 212 April 2017

Dog Tailor ran Halikko leg 2. Arrived really early and it was really cold, thick frost on. At least the sun was out, which helped a bit later and the temperature eventually crept the right side of freezing.

Ages since i ran a parallel leg (running with Josh and John here) and i don't think i prepared so well, could tell i wasnt used to it and i was running without complete plans for a lot of it. so a few small misses, a bigger one on the penultimate when i was running too much in Josh's slipstream (really the worst idea to run with a teammate on this kind of leg when it's pretty much guaranteed they're not on your gaffle).

really enjoyed the head to head running! going okay, lungs seemed fine. the worst thing for me was the deep ditches in the (many) marshes, ended up almost entirely submerged at one point, not great in those temperatures... managed not to let it get to me for this leg but i think it took its toll later on...

for the day
1 PM

Orienteering - hard race 32:00 [4]
shoes: Inov-8 XTalon 212 April 2017

Change of clothes and a bit (not enough?) food before going back out for leg 14. thought i might be okay but i had been getting a bit cold despite my best efforts and about 20m from the start i was waist deep in another ditch. this time i could almost feel the energy leave me and not sure i ever recovered during the race! running not too bad for the second effort but orienteering like i was cold, tired and hungry. didnt do a good job at all, especially the weak link compass work, and had to be swept back up by the runners i was trying to run away from a few times. managed to at least avoid brainfarting into the last control and got into the changeover ahead. not winning any prizes for orienteering finesse but maybe a combatative jersey?

brill weekend, great fun to do some good relay practice and lots of good chat with the team.

Running - easy 57:00 [2]
shoes: Saucony Kinvara - July 2017

trångsund-ågesta with drills along the way, mostly on some of the uphills. amazing morning with bright sun and clearing mist, frost made it slow going on the boards by the lake and a bit chilly.

massive glutes doms for some reason.
3 PM

Orienteering - medium intervals 40:00 [3]
shoes: Inov-8 XTalon 212 April 2017

Longer legs in Svartvik and Mörtsjön, as intervals but not pushing crazy hard when theres a whole lot of Halikko to get through this weekend. then a control pick at easier pace back throgh svartvik. actually it was the pick that was most problematic - bit tired by then, felt odd to slow down and suddenly have time to overthink every control.

Go to Mörtsjön if you want to be tough.

Filling in coaching an extra group. Plus ran extra beforehand but not so quickly - a bit tired but also my podcast was debilitatingly funny, could hardly move!

Running - hard 31:00 [4]
shoes: Saucony Kinvara - July 2017

8km threshold with Spårvägens, so cool to run this with a group. must be the most fun session, not hard enough to really hurt but quick enough to feel useful. there were some optional 1-minute intervals afterwards but i'm still coughing a bit much to work my lungs to max. hopefully just a couple more days til i'm fully operational.
