Training Log: jed

Another big sleep and had a nice day so no stressing! Out towards Blackford, Pond, Hermitage looping about, out to the road at the field, back down towards the pond and home. Increased the pace after 30mins and felt ok with it.

Rolling, knee exercises, bench press, wall puts, heel raises, single leg lowers, resisted lunges, pull ups, gluts exercises (bridging and on side pulses), SLDL, TRX, wee circuit plank, press ups, sit ups, bicycle crunches. Each exercises x3. More rolling and general stretching.

Recovery run in the sun. Really nice and warm. Marchmont, Brunstfield, Links, Meadows, Sciennes. Various loops. Feeling much better after a nice nap.

Positives first - it wasn't raining and control 8 was down a really nice path and exactly where I expected it.
Apart from that - I felt rubbish in fact awful in places. Breathing really hard and generally way more tired than the speed I was going. No way could keep up with dad. Also orienteering was particularly great sometimes me but sometimes the map. One control was on boulder and there was no boulder in the circle but a crag with a control on it. As well as that some controls definitely in the wrong place which wasn't helped by the mist. Even though couldn't stay with Dad kept catching him due to the control lottery and each time at least 5 people searching. Not fun really.
Good to get out but pretty obvious I am still not right. Had a easy week but still had a lot of stress. I am starting running this week but nothing hard and no stress so that hopefully I can be 100% again.

Easy run in the pouring rain. Feeling bouncier even though was getting drenched.

Trying to just let everything settle down. Feeling physically much better. Ready to start the new block on Monday.
