Running 50:00 [2] 10.0 km (5:00 / km) +180m 4:35 / km
slept:8.5

Out to Parkwood for some test-runs of the Yorkshire sprint champs courses. Lots of variety and some really great detailed estates. Lovely warm and sunny day, felt like being back on hols. Tired after a morning of playing in Rivelin with the lad and still a bit gunked up and stuffy-headed. Hoping this will pass soon.

C • YHOA Sprints? 4

Orienteering 40:00 [4] 9.0 km (4:27 / km) +250m 3:54 / km

Qualifier and final with 20 mins or so of jogging in between. Bit on the long side?! Or was I taking it that steady? Didn't feel like it.

Running 1:05:00 [3] 14.0 km (4:39 / km) +260m 4:15 / km
slept:8.5

Jury still out. Woke up feeling pretty good, but with a bit of gunk still lingering. Decided against a long one and went for a decent-paced cruise from Darton around the Sculpture Park and Cawthorne. Felt good running, which was a nice surprise.

7 PM

Circuits 10:00 [1]

Feeling a bit better again this arvo and considered a second run but decided to play it safe - no need to get greedy.

Running 30:00 [2] 6.0 km (5:00 / km) +160m 4:25 / km
slept:9.5

IW, BHP feeling a bit better than I have been and shifting some gunk too.

12 PM

Track session 18:00 [5] 5.0 km (3:36 / km)

A double experiment, wanted to answer two questions:
Is it feasible to do a track session in my luch hour?
Am I actually ill, or am I just in a funk after a tough week last week?

The answers were:
Yes, if I make a creative interpretation of lunch 'hour'.
Not sure, felt fine running but sinuses aching after. Time will tell.

Ran a short tester of 4x1km off 200m jog at a comfortable pace of 3.16, 3.15, 3.13, 3.13. Very windy and never pushing too hard but trying to maintain good form. All being well I will try to do this on a regular basis.

Running 40:00 [2] 8.0 km (5:00 / km) +60m 4:49 / km

To and from track.
