Orienteering race 58:00 [4] 10.0 km (5:48 / km)
Nice course around Ogden for the Ivor Noot memorial, ran steady but my legs were pretty dead from yesterday's effort. Some tough hills and some fun brackeny moorland. Soup and cakes in a barn at download went down well.
Running 40:00 [2] 7.0 km (5:43 / km)
Run to the start and a lap of the reservoir on the way back from the finish. Not feeling too bad really.

Running race 40:05 [5] 11.0 km (3:39 / km)
Northern xc champs at St Helens, a very muddy course that got progressively muddier with every lap. Ran a consistent pace, and probably a little better than at the Yorkshires, but pretty average result, somewhere in the 80s I guess. Just lost it a bit in the final 500m or so and lost a handful of places there.
Great win from the HH women, good packing from the men, and a top result from Speaky. BOF's Steve Vernon was way out in front, wish I could run like that...

Running 35:00 [2] 6.0 km (5:50 / km)
Good long warm up recce-ing the route and checking out the mudbath, very slow warm down.

Circuits 25:00 [2]
Early morning sesh at S10 with Mr Baker, needed the company, especially when doing silly walks.
Weights 20:00 [3]
Followed by weights, nice and empty in there at this hour.
Running 40:00 [2] 8.0 km (5:00 / km)
To S10 and a longer route back home via Bolehill. Rain on the way in and sleet on the way home. Nice.

Running 1:20:00 16.0 km (5:00 / km)
Spoon lane route, pushing on the ups and easing off on the downs. Stopped for a snoop around an old derelict house near the fisheries. Felt like hard work all the way.

Running 50:00 [3] 11.0 km (4:33 / km)
Brisk pace up to Loxley Common and a big figure8. A bit fatigued from last night, but not as bad as I expected. Nice day, but bloody cold - I saw the sun shining and put on shorts and a t shirt and proceeded to freeze. I'm clearly not made of such strong stuff as Camel. Or perhaps he has more natural insulation than me?
Climbing 1:00:00 [1]
Down t'works with Jenny and then Candyman, ticked a few more browns and played on the new bits of wall, finished with a few routes on the comp wall. Really empty in there when we arrived and got a bit carried away so got tired pretty quickly tonight.

Track session 30:00 [5] 6.5 km (4:37 / km)
Hallamshire session, long reps but chose to run a bit shorter and do an extra rep - good to have a bit longer recovery and increase the pace a little and had plenty of company on the last rep. 5x1200 off 5.50, ran 3.52, 3.53, 3.53, 3.51, 3.58, felt alright until the last 400m or so of the session when the wheels fell off.
Really sad news that our coach Ian has had a nasty accident and is going to be in hospital for quite a few weeks. I guess that means we'll have to work extra hard in the xcs to give him some good news.

Running 55:00 [2] 10.0 km (5:30 / km)
To track with Nails for some of the way and with a big crowd on the way home. The spider bridge has been re-opened, which made the whole session worthwhile.

Running Drills 15:00 [3] 1.0 km (15:00 / km)
Drills, strides and sprints in Hillsborough Park during a gap in the bad weather.
Running 25:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)
Warm up and warm down.
Circuits 25:00 [2]
At S10, managed to squeeze onto the mats upstairs, the whole place was rammed.
Weights 25:00 [2]
And free weights some of it with Gareth and saw John and Kelly in there too. Difficult to get onto the squats bar, but managed one set and supplemented with some alternative squats. Tired legs.
Running 30:00 [2] 6.0 km (5:00 / km)
To S10 and back, in a sleet storm on the way, maybe that's why it was so full...
