S&C 1:00:00 [3]

Haries s+c - forgot how good these sessions are, almost worth the early morning. Mostly just learning the exercises this week, but still got a few burns. Focus on stability this term which, if genetics are anything to go by, might be quite a good idea.

Hill run with Fiona

Missed a lot of garminage, but otherwise felt good. Pretty unfit but gotta start the recovery somewhere :/

Forest-O race 1:12:53 [4] 11.8 km (6:11 / km) +240m 5:36 / km
shoes: VJ Bold 8 (dobbs)

To be honest I've been looking froward to getting this race out of the way, but courtesy of Bigby's hype playlist I was quite pumped by the time I started, and very happy to be error-free if a little on the slow side for the first half. Then ran to a pit and didn't look at the control at the bottom of it and headless chickened for 6 minutes. Good run ruined, but had a lot of fun and still probably better than most of my selection races. Can focus on getting fit again now.

BUCS Relay - Set off in a decent position by Paul, and got through the first section safely to get in contact with Eddie. Stayed with him for a bit, but then misread a control code and, under penalty of 12 pints, thought I should really punch it despite being in totally the wrong place and feature. Bit of a grind soloing after that and a few poor controls but mostly okay. Set off Aidan with fairly minimal hopes, and I think his first control was a fair reflection of how much pressure I'd put him under.

Bronze is quite good though, and lovely to see Loughborough taking a rogue win.

Did the 800 instead. It wasn't pretty, ran 2:26 with a much much faster first lap (can't remember the exact time). Who knew 800 isn't really my distance?!

Wass Long

Very similar experience to yesterday, except with a bit of company. Lost 2 mins to Felly on running speed plus maybe 30s mistakes by number 5, which wasn't encouraging in terms of fitness, but felt pretty good to not be hacking through Wass alone for a bit. Let him get away for the second half which was silly, but the wheels were about to come off anyway. Huge huge bonk going into the final loop and one mistake just at the end to let Eddie, Harry and Freddie get me overall.

See ya next year selection races ;)

York Sprint

Gave it everything, which wasn't very much. Pretty clean with just two wrong route choices and some scrappiness, but just didn't have the lungs for this. Finished and thought I was gonna pass out for about 20 minutes, feeling absolutely disgusting but actually quite pleased with the run. Don't think it could've gone very much better given the circumstances :/

Note

I don't know how far I ran today cos I rage-deleted my garmin record - classy. It doesn't really matter though because today was not racing or training or even really running, so it probably doesn't deserve to go in a training log.

Been lying in bed for a week so probably shouldn't have started but some mixture of pride and desperation dragged me to the start line. That said there was far more wrong with me than being ill today.

Reached the start kite already wondering where all the oxygen was and basically didn't hit a control clean for the rest of the day, although I came close to number 1 before randomly losing conviction and pitching off down the hill without thinking to read the code of the control I had navved to almost perfectly. After an absolute horror show of a first loop in the green I fell into a barbed wire fence and spent a minute trying to untangle myself while enjoying my close-up view of a ditch. Everything hurt for a bit, and basically just walked/jogged from 7 onward, but the race was already more than over. Made some attempt to run at the end because there's nothing sadder than walking down a run-in, but that just meant I felt even less alive when I crawled back to the assembly field.

Think that is the worst race I've ever run in my life, which is what should be expected when you try to finish a race you know you can't start. On the upside that's gonna be a really tough record to beat.

Not exactly the pre-selection race taper I'd like. Coughing and splutterring still. Racing could be interesting but just got to ignore it and try to rest up for tomorrow.

SOL2 at Linn of Tummel

So glad to get out for a run, but knew it would be brutal so tried to start slow up the hill. Clearly misjudged this with some fastest splits in a part of the course you really don't want them. Scrappy with some errors but caught Fred about 2/3 through, but he wasn't very happy about that and so cheated by using his superior speed to get away from me (the cheek). Bonked hard and crawled the last 8-9 controls. Oops.

Coughing and spluttering on a deathbed level for about an hour after i finished, but settled down to a mere headache and grottiness now

Down to the meadows then a 2 lap tempo effort. Nice to get out but really struggling for motivation - think its the illness making running seem very unappealing.

Focus on form, ironically but unsurprisingly picking up a niggle by the end.
