RHR going down a bit and feel better than yesterday again. Still feeling bit weak, legs also a little achey. Studying all day for exams before leaving in less than 2 days.
Also have been doing map training but haven't properly logged training in last weeks..

rhr:65 (sick)

Managed to sleep a bit between feeling hot and shivvering and aching then spent the day in bed very weak and aching, no appetite. I hate being sick so much!! Hopefully recover soon, only 4 day till we fly..
Not going to have an iron infusion again, going to stock up on blood sausages instead.
missing the 10km christmas run in Zurich.

(sick)

Had planned some nice hill intervals with map, but mid morning I started feeling really achey, started in the legs, then back, then all over. Really weak and had to lie down and rest. Some ibuprofen seemed to help feel a bit better in the afternoon but in the evening felt worse with fever and shivers.
Pretty sure it's reaction to the iron infusion, as I have no other normal flu symptoms.

Running 25:00 intensity: (10:00 @2) + (10:00 @3) + (5:00 @4)

Mod run with some surges. I have the feeling it's best to take it a bit easy after getting the iron infusion to let body adjust. Headache all day, thought it was from tight neck muscles but in hindsight I think it was from iron infusion.

Note

Iron infusion, double as much as the last few times in hope that it will last longer. Test again in Jan, also keep taking iron tablets and weekly B12 liquid till then, and hopefully won't have to have any more infusions!

Running race 22:27 intensity: (57 @4) + (21:30 @5) 5.36 km (4:11 / km)
ahr:174 max:179

Lachen Weinachtslauf, very cold but lovely christmas spirit etc.
Course makes four douple loops through Lachen, passing the finish twice per loops. Quite a few corners.
Didn't feel good today. Didn'f feel like I could push myself properly, though HR was as high as normal for a race. Did manage to push harder to overtake a girl at the end though.

Running warm up/down 18:00 [2]

(rest day)

Helping at candle making all day. Think my back and shoulders are really tight, giving really bad headache today and tightness in chest the last few days.

Running intervals 54:00 intensity: (3:00 @1) + (7:00 @2) + (21:00 @3) + (11:00 @4) + (12:00 @5)
ahr:153 max:180

Intervals at the track in Freienbach in lunch break between uni and work. Missed the early train so was a little rushed for time and go a bit hungry at the end.
4x (800: 60sec rec/200m: 90sec rec)
3:06- 0:42- 3:06- 0:42- 3:06- 0.41- 3:07- 0:42
Didn't feel great, slow and rather short of breath at the end of each interval, perhaps partly the freezing cold air. Seriously only a couple of degrees, not very inspiring weather!

ahr:156 max:178 shoes: Adidas Supernova boost

Uni training group intervlals. Two laps of the track then down to Stettback for Intervals. 3-5-7-5-3-1-1-1 intervals. recovery about 3mins, then 30sec between the 1mins at the end.
It is worth being fresh for hard sessions, I could push hard. Even though I really like the thursday training I think I'll take it easy tomorrow so I can do another quality session on friday and the race on sunday. At the moment quality and good recovery is priority, esp since last week I seemed to recover hoeplessly..
Sauna with the orienteering girls afterwards, the best thing in winter!!

ahr:143 max:168 shoes: Innov8 Oroc

Hönngerberg alone over lunch break.
5x4min hill with 3-4min recovery down, varied hills and steepness, sometimes in terrain. Felt ok, didn't really feel fast but I suppose that is the trouble with hills!
afterwards did 10x30sec speedy
Then I wanted to be finished but realised I had completely lost myself in the forest as I had just been running round randomly looking for nice hills. I was totally disorientated especially because of the fog, ended up running quite in the wrong direction and couldn't figure out which way to go when I finally did get to the end of the forest.. Probably 20mins extra and I was late to class.
