Training Log Archive: Old Daniel

OLdbury Court inc 11 x 2mins with 90 secs. All ok except could just feel hamstring, Hopefully not an issue

Purdown same shortened version as last week. When I awoke legs quite sore, clearly overdone this week. Not only dodgy knee but also right shin. Ipobrufen and ran late in the day. Although it was warm ran in leggings......and then ran well seemed much easier than yesterday. There is no logic to this........will be back in the groove after I have run for a few weeks then it will all make a bit more sense

Warm up

BAOC Score event at Hawley Common. Lovely sunny day and forest a joy to be in. Heavy legged -not surprising but aim was not to worry about result but to click through a number of controls - certainly did that 24! Two could be described as cock ups and several others had to hunt within the circle but overall not too bad at all

Standard Loop from Swineford to Round Hill via race course-quite quick, new light shoes might help but not very good in mud

BOK run from Keynsham inc Pyramid 30 secs to 3 mins x2 with max of 90 secs on field- group kept together well and could probably have done more but plenty for me -nice to do a decent run out and back

C • Scott, Ifor and Teresa might have done more..... 1

Run around Blaise from car park - unlike yesterday no ipobrufen so could feel knees - a bit weak on some of hills and pushed hard particularly towards end. Quite tired afterwards

Warm up

Virtuous Lady-Devon OC. Compassport cup final - funny old race and at my age just a short one . (I was actually leading at 2 .....) stopped short at 3 as at a huge taped crag and went back - when actually at a small crag in front of control (and lost 3mins) , too far right going to 4 (lost no time?) and took an over route rather than round to 7 -a bad choice my fault but turned out to be near impenetrable bramble and had to go much further round (not my fault) -almost unbelievably lost neatly 5 mins ouch! Rest of course ran well and was competitive with both Gavin and Chris who both beat me overall - not sure whether to be pleased or not..........
