Running race 22:27 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.
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.
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!
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!!
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.
