Training Log Archive: 007

easy flat run with very sore quad muscles, just enough to get some fresh air between studying. I figured more wasn't going to be useful today despite having long run planned.
Have this slight aching in my chest the last 2 days, I think from tight muscles in my back.

This weeks training was a bit less/easier than planned, but the cold that was threatening seems to have gone and it was good to do the race.
Back into it this week.. Can't wait for the next 6 weeks to go and for summer holidays! So busy with uni and work and training.

Kyburg Lauf on a perfect autumn afternoon, starting in a village with really pretty wooden houses and a castle. Feeling lucky today :)
It was an undalating 10km race with a 160m climb in the last 1.3km! (not sure about the total climb, one place they write 220m another 300m, I would say 230 from the map..)
The start and first section was narrow, so from my poor starting position the first few kms were slow and frustrating,trying to dodge people and overtake. Not till almost 15mins did I feel like I could just run in a straight line! First 6km undulating through fields and forest tracks, legs felt a bit slow but started feeling I could push a bit more as it went on. Then came a looong downhill (about 200m drop) trying to stay in control, then a flat km or so before the start of the stairs up to the castle and finish.. I ran every step because I know I feel worse walking even if it's the same pace, and was thinking to myself 'this is nothing compared to 4 Peaks or Black Hill' :)
I was happy with the run, I ran steadily and was able to push more as it went on, and was quite strong on the hill. And really fun :)
The only annoying thing was that I wrongly assumed our timing chip would start when we went through the start. I started quite a long way back and didn't think it mattered.. I was surprised later to see I was 9th girl only about 3mins behind. http://services.datasport.com/2014/lauf/kyburg/RAN...
Good race training. Got a few more running races before heading to Aus in 6 weeks..

13mins warm up
5mins warm down

knee, lunges, achilles

Easyish run with drills. Have had a lingering sore throat the last few days which was worse today so didn't want to go to hard in the cold air. Hopefully couple of easy days and I will be ok for the weekend.

Drills at the running track.

From Fluntern with the running group. Very dark and wintery, switching between rain and snow a few times. But lovely all the same :)
Varied intervals, mix of flat and hills:
(2-1-3-1 with 1min rec) 3min rec (2-1-3-1 with 1min rec) 3min rec (1-1-1 with 1min rec)

MTB around the foothills enjoying the wonderful autumn forests.
Started feeling the Muskelkater from lastnight in the afternoon.

Easy run from Galgenen before Hallentraining. Beautiful clear moonlight, fresh autumn air. The fine weather is finally about to break into typical November.

Laufschule, Slalom, Skipping

First TSV strength trainign for the winter! Tough like always, but didn't feel as hard as last winter. We didn't get into any of the jumping excercises yet though...
