Training Log Archive: Danish Dynamite

Nothing like another rest day
On the bright side, I'll get a nice unintentional taper into the danish ultralong next Sunday

core

There is a short warm-up included in that. I'm pretty confident I switched up the order of parts of the course. They ran out of the long course maps so I just took a red sharpie to a map with all the controls, like most Danish forests this one was quite small, and not having the benefit of a map flip I definitely spent 4 or 5 minutes standing at controls figuring out where exactly I was suppose to go next.

The 7.8km is just the course distance. I enjoyed the forest though, a whole bunch of valleys in a hill side. Luckily not quite as steep as the middle last week. Meant to accelerate through the course but never really entirely focused and knee wasn't really feeling like pushing the speed downhill or side hilling

C • Swe races 5

4x8 minutes w/ 2 minutes rest. In reality it was probably more run a loop and then take 2 minutes rest. First 2 were around 8:30 and then the next 8:15 and then a bit under 8:10.
It was also probably about 9km not 8.05

3 strides and then continuing the run back

Easy run, don't really need a rest day but figured it was the best way to layout my training and minimize the impact on knee

Training was suppose to be a partner exercise where you say what you're doing and why as you a leg and then exchange. However, being the odd man out/remaining people different speed just ran by self and had the pleasure of speaking with myself.

4x600m and then 6x200m, believe it was all 3 minutes rest. 600m were suppose to be at 3000m pace, based off my vast experience running 3000m I opted to stay slightly behind whoever I thought was faster then me and ahead of the people slower.
