Running warm up/down 4:58 0.94 km (5:16 / km) +2m 5:13 / km
ahr:146 max:153 shoes: Reebok One Cushion Trail
Running tempo (Parkrun) 21:14 4.96 km (4:17 / km) +12m 4:14 / km
ahr:169 max:186 shoes: Reebok One Cushion Trail
They are recovering slowly.
I set off with the aim to push km1 and then ease off. My shoelaces came undone at around 600m so stopped to tie them, that has done away with my plan. From then on just alternated easing off and pushing (only 2x really).
On the first uphill though seen a proper tornado forming above Boscombe, it lasted about 1 min before fading away (didn't actually touch the ground, though).
Looked like it was unofficial "wear your Marathon/Half Marathon finisher's tee shirt" day, saw about 4 people with London Marathon tee and about 5 with Southampton ones. Nobody told me and so I wasn't in mine...
Legs will need more time.
Running warm up/down 13:58 2.47 km (5:40 / km) +6m 5:36 / km

Urban Orienteering race 44:56 *** 9.15 km (4:55 / km) +69m 4:44 / km
ahr:166 max:178 spiked:26/26c shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide
2nd (with quite a few people seconds behind)
Quite an interesting and sometimes tricky area, new map.
Didn't thin my legs would be delivering me this result and boy, did I feel tired almost all the way through. I am quite certain that I could run a few minutes faster if I am not tired.
In any case, lost some time on a few controls, about 40s when I missed one turn and about 20s when I wasn't spot on with the direction to a passage through the field and then was going the wrong way hoping to find it. There may have been a few other few seconds worth of time losses, but that is about it - not that bad navigationally considering the focus of my recent training hmmm, hasn't been orienteering focused.
Nevertheless given the state of my legs decided to give tomorrow's forest race a miss.

ahr:155 max:178 shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide
Sort of partially trying to get back to training now, so I started to introduce the "hills" via the zig-zags and pushed some sections, mid effort others and just jog yet another. A few bursts at the end too.
Yeah, legs are tired.

Running 35:52 [3] 5.47 km (6:33 / km) +151m 5:46 / km
Late so wasn't doing the 100%, but not bothered given this was going to be my first outing after the Marathon so just wanted to see what my legs and body thought of the whole thing. They were screaming at me. Well, OK boys, I just wanted to see how you are doing.
