Running tempo (parkrun) 24:28 [4] 5.0 km (4:54 / km)

Breakfast afterwards was great.

Cycling 1:00:00 [2]
Dan got me a demo bike from ftr, so needed to take it for a spin. went down to the skills park at gap creek, then rode back through the single track. had a few goes at adjusting the suspension which was making climbing really hard.
bike is super fun down hills.
also had some wheelie training up and down the driveway. can do about 3m most times now. big improvement.

Running long 1:50:00 [3] 15.5 km (7:06 / km) +450m 6:12 / km
Long run from Clares, but Clare and Richie were mtbing. the usual loop out to south boundary, with an extra loop up to the coottha ring road. pretty hurty, and felt flat from the start. a gel before the last loop was good, but didn't last long enough. cooked by the end but the pool was great, and cafe Clare does an awesome breakfast.

Running intervals 16:00 [5] 4.0 km (4:00 / km)
4 x 1km at green hills reservoir. never run here before, but a few of the running clubs use it - totally flat and closed road. ran with caroline, who ran really well (I don't think I would have pushed as hard without her on my shoulder, and she definitely has a better kick than my poor old legs). time were a bit quicker than expected, so happy with this as a starting point.
3.58, 4.02, 4.01, 3.58. jog back recoveries - 2 to 4 mins.

Organising sprint camp. managed to do about 20mins of actual training. At USQ.
Saturday Jan 21, 2017 #
Orienteering 5:00:00 [0]
Organising the sprint training camp. Very busy with 67 people. Lots of fun, and everyone was very enthusiastic. some crazy weather. got a storm through just after 1pm, then later the proper cool change - felt like the air con had been blasted on, with thick fog. made for nice running conditions.

super tired, and the heat and humidity got the better of me today. I think I needed a rest anyway. easier week coming up.

Cycling 1:15:00 [2]
Let myself get talked into a morning ride with Clare and Marion. Partial river loop (I didn't know how much lamer a river loop could get, but this was spectacular). Still had me on the ropes. super tired and couldn't climb at all. nice coffee at bean afterwards (while sitting in pool of sweat).
discovered at the end of the ride that the back wheel had some pretty bad brake rub, so maybe it wasn't all my patheticness.

Running hills (Anzac Park TT) 31:06 [5] 5.2 km (5:59 / km) +100m 5:27 / km
First one back. Felt pretty rubbish all day - pretty tired. Its been stupid hot, but there looked to be some rain on the way. 29C and 70% RH when I ran (I'm used to it being hot, but that was pretty unpleasant) and the rain never arrived. TT was hard work to start with and then I just cooked. staggered home.
Running warm up/down 25:00 [2]
Wednesday Jan 11, 2017 #
Swim 35:00 [3] 1.5 km (23:20 / km)
swim. actually figured out how long it took me this time. arms pretty dead by the end.
Tuesday Jan 10, 2017 #
Yoga 1:00:00 [2]
hot yoga. tuesday class seems to go ok. hard work. got a bit wobbly in the head by the end.
Monday Jan 9, 2017 #
Note
the yoga studio has a new timetable which has replaced the monday night power yoga class I've been going to for 3 years with a meditation/hippy bullshit class. training schedule (what there ever was of it) is in disarray!
Running tempo 1:00:00 [3] 11.7 km (5:08 / km) +85m 4:57 / km
City run. didn't eat enough in the afternoon so I was a bit flat, particularly in the last 10 mins.
Sunday Jan 8, 2017 #
Cycling 1:15:00 [3] 15.0 km (5:00 / km)
Afternoon spin with Clare in gap creek, and Dan cos he is incapable of missing a bike ride. Took the single speed out for the first time in over a year - Dan built it back up for me a while ago, but its been neglected. Some misguided part of my brain decided that it would be good for an easy spin. As it was I was re-educated in the fact that single speeding is a full body strength workout. Still, the voodoo is a super fun bike to ride, should take it out more often.

Cycling 2:30:00 [3]
mtb at old hidden vale. really looking forward to it after rave reviews, but it had rained that morning and the mud was awesome. 2 types of mud - the red mud on the lower slopes is super slippery, but the black mud on the upper slopes turns to glue. we ended up bailing, but it took a while to get out cos bikes got so muddy the wheels wouldn't go round. back to the cars an hour before the cafe opened, so we just went home. looking forward to having another go in the dry!

Running hills 48:00 [3] 7.5 km (6:24 / km) +105m 5:59 / km
Anzac park run with clare. cruise to start with, then decided to do an extra loop and had to catch up - made for a bit of a hard run in the middle. good to do as I get a bit lazy over the tops of hills running on my own.
left quad is still a bit unhappy and was getting tight at the end. mainly an issue downhill.
the storms the other night have blown over about 1/3 of the big fig tree in anzac park (the one with the fence).

Swim 45:00 [3] 1.5 km (30:00 / km)
yep. its come to that. trying to avoid starting the year with an injury. swim at centenary pool, not too crowded - although a lot more weirdos in summer than in winter. I guess in winter you have to keep swimming to stay warm, where as in summer you can just hang out at the end of the pool being a pervert.
Tuesday Jan 3, 2017 #
Running 12:00 [2]
attempted run in anzac park to loosen the legs out. turns out my quads are still too sore - ok up the hills but could only hobble down them, so went home. not running again until I can at least walk down stairs without pain.

Note
Awesome doms after the run on Friday so kinda ok with being stuck in the car for two days. Back to brisbane summer foulness. At least there's a storm on the way.
