Distances and times for warm up/down as I forgot my garmin despite charging it this morning for today! Jogging around assembly and parking, before trotting to the start. Drills and stretching included.

Course A: 5.1km 60m 31c

As I said, I didn't have my garmin today despite charging it, so distance is worked out old school with a ruler and a pencil (not totally accurate). I'll try and update it if I can from route gadget at some point.
Pretty easy course but with some nice variation and one or two intricate bits and changes of direction. Sat off a little in the middle section and never really pushed on it, but felt like I had a little more in the tank. Running felt sluggish to begin with, never really developing a comfortable turnover or style. Good orienteering though, flowing well, only one or two slips, confused by description numbers so wasting time at controls and heading out the wrong way on one or two. No more than 10 seconds loss I don't think on any though. 3rd behind Matt E (6secs) and Will (40secs), so pleased to see I haven't actually lost that much leg speed, and orienteering was good. O-Ringen will be vastly different, but a nice confidence boost being so close to those two.

Easy around the park.

Really steady one after wandering around Sheffield Uni all day, legs felt heavy after a long day. Bit worn out so took it easy.

Steady one out on the roads. Finished school now, so can actually train.

Felt pretty ill when I got in, so did some core. Started headed out runninng, but start of a headache, emtpy in my stomach so played it safe. Shift later, then last day at school tomorrow so a nice day for a run.

Alton towers all day, then kept it easy.

Kept it short, just trotting along, quite nice after the rain. Not sure about tomorrow because of altona towers with some school

Went for a steady one after school, decided against a rest day and took a break from theory revision. 5 hill efforts as well of varying lengths. Felt good, bit more tomorrow after theory.
