Running (Running too and from Park) 33:46 [3] 7.52 km (4:29 / km) +11m 4:27 / km
shoes: Nike Elite 9
Orienteering race 17:55 [4] 4.38 km (4:05 / km)
shoes: Nike Elite 9
2nd park-o of the year. New map. As per usual more of a running race than anything else but some difficulty was introduced through the alternative placement of controls towards the end. Luckily I wasn't reading the map well enough to realise how badly placed the control was and lose any time.

Running intervals 59:19 [5] 12.7 km (4:40 / km) +106m 4:29 / km
shoes: Nike Elite 9
6 x 1000m. I was thinking of maybe doing 8 before I left but then I remembered that I have park-O tomorrow which will be a fairly hard effort so I want something left in the tank. These V02 max sessions are seriously not fun... just hard.
Efforts were between 3:03 and 3:13 (Headwind going one way made those efforts way harder). The pace is a bit above what my last race suggests I should do intervals at however I've got 3 weeks of training 100km/week between that result and now so I think it's safe to assume my current race pace is a little bit faster than it was 3 weeks ago. Interesting to see that my HR is recovering much quicker than it was around 3 weeks ago. Good signs.

Running (Monday slog) 40:26 [3] 9.17 km (4:25 / km) +119m 4:08 / km
shoes: Nike Elite 9
New shoes today. Went to the shop and got myself the Nike Elite 9 and they're pretty badass! Went for a run in the small gap between downpours, however it wasn't between the downpours, as I found out at about km 0.2 when it started raining very heavily. Ah well. Felt good which is odd on a monday after Sunday long run but I'll take it!

Running 2:00:03 [3] 24.5 km (4:54 / km) +429m 4:30 / km
shoes: Nike Pegasus 33
Flyers Sunday Run. Pretty slow for most of the run, sitting above 5min/k, however towards the end we sped up a little and I managed to get some 3:30min/kms at the end which felt great at the end of a long run. Don't think I would have been capable of that even a few weeks ago! Heading in the right direction! :D
Running 12:00 [3] 2.5 km (4:48 / km)

Running (Moist Run) 58:32 [3] 13.43 km (4:22 / km) +119m 4:10 / km
shoes: Nike Pegasus 33
Took a lot of will power to get out today in the middle of a pretty heavy downpour. However once I got completely drenched it was absolutely fine. Felt amazing physically actually which is odd after a pretty high volume speed-work day yesterday. One of those days I guess?

Running intervals 1:16:51 [4] 15.6 km (4:56 / km)
shoes: Nike Streak 6 (Flymesh Upper)
Due to yesterday's less than stellar effort I picked one of the slightly longer rep sessions from my menu today. 8 x 400 w/ 400 jog rest and then 8 x 200 w/ 200 jog rest. Today I discovered that the street that I've been doing my reps on definitely has a pronounced uphill going one direction (maybe 1-2%) which isn't that big of a deal usually but paired with a headwind and it becomes quite a battle to hit the times I'd like to hit. The other direction is a breeze!
Edit: Not sure why park-o splits have appeared on my interval workout.

Running (easy) 38:38 [3] 8.3 km (4:39 / km)
shoes: Nike Pegasus 33
Yesterday's park series run kinda screwed with my usual wednesday routine of having easy an easy 2 days after a hard effort like yesterdays. So today I felt really awful on the run today. A massive headwind heading out to the break wall today which made it even more awful. A borderline rest day today but I probably needed it after 2 kinda hard days.
