Training Log: OJ

Orienteering 35:00 [5] *** 7 km (5:00 / km)
spiked:34/37c slept:8.5

Trains at Cannon Hall with Jen, Candyman, Rach and Alex. Ran 3xlong sprints and 2xshort sprints with about 2-3 mins recovery between. Very fast area but surprisingly good fun picking out the right trees and finding the best route in the landscaped gardens. Pushed hard and felt pretty good, bit rainy though.

Running 15:00 [2] 3 km (5:00 / km)

Warm up and down around the grounds. Foot hurting a bit on the warm down.

Running 50:00 [3] 12 km (4:10 / km)

Loxley extension. Used a bit of leukotape to raise my arch and it made my sore foot almost pain free. Still raining though.

HFW, foot hurting quite a bit.

Orienteering 25:00 [5] **** 4 km (6:15 / km)
spiked:28/31c

Night session around Burbage Mines with a big crowd. Mass start with butterfly loops in line with the current vogue. Somehow managed to have the same course as GG for the entire way, which made for a fast, fun head to head race. We collided several times and GG fell over at least twice, which was quite funny. Neil slipped away early on and beat us back without breaking a sweat. Nice session.

Running 15:00 [2] 2 km (7:30 / km)

Hanging a few controls and jogging about. I get a map in my hand and my foot magically stops hurting.

C • I've found that recently, I... 4

Running 1:50:00 [3] 20 km (5:30 / km)
slept:8.0 (injured)

Ran from Edale with GG, Schminty, Tom and Ash. Hollins Cross, Mam Tor, top of Jacob's Ladder, Mushroom Garden, Ringing Roger. Gret day for it and a few bits of snow still lingering in the hollows. Nice run, except that my foot started to hurt in the squelchy mud and got pretty sore by the end.

Running 30:00 [2] 6 km (5:00 / km)
slept:8.0

To Sport Hallam and on to work.

Circuits 35:00 [2]

Warm up and down and body weight stuff including hops, box drops and jumps.

Orienteering 32:00 [5] *** 6 km (5:20 / km)
spiked:41/42c

O intervals around Walkley with a big gang. Not as tricky as last week, but still hard trying to read the course through butterflies, etc. Lots of fun.

Running 25:00 [2] 5 km (5:00 / km)

To the start of the training and a longer warm down. Tired.

IW, gluts very sore this morning after the hill session.

Running 40:00 10 km (4:00 / km)

Run to EIS, warm up and stride, warm down.

Running Drills 30:00 [3]
(injured)

Usual session of drills, jumps and sprints, all good although the foot was sore after - as the hole heals over it seems to be causing more pain. It all looks healthy enough though.
