Training Log Archive: bun

Fail day. Shin hurt, has been feeling niggly for a week and it decided to be a bum today. Hurt from the start, so i was running along thinking "i should probably stop..." then one minute later i'd change my mind and decide it wasn't that bad and i should tough it out...so was debating with myself for ages and wasn't looking at my map or concentrating on navigating. Eventually decided it was stupid, so i stopped (at control 5, at the far end of the map haha!) and walked back to the finish.
Have identified a few issues that've probably made it go bad again, so as long as i keep an eye on them it should be ok...

Easy run along the river. Felt ok, but shin was a little twingey. Need a really easy week next week!

SA night O champs! This was SO fun! I think the last time i did night orienteering was 3 or 4 years ago...so i had no confidence in my abilities and expected to get extremely lost. Should have had more faith in myself though, i nailed a lot of controls in the vague stuff (don't know if that was from skill or luck haha). I was going very slowly though, mostly to avoid getting horribly lost. Super fun, and i only thought about slender man near the end ;)

Run with the arrows along the river. :D felt ok. Leg is ok after ints yesterday. Smashed it with ibuprofen (despite all my recent research about how bad it is for your GIT, especially when combined with exercise!)

Mona fartlek in the morning, should have really been going to my 6hr prac at uni, but it usually goes for 7+hrs anyway, so I thought i'd be a badass ;)
Felt ok warming up, but when I started to go hard my left shin was sore....old stress fracture site plus my soleus. Continued on, then stopped to walk for a bit. Then did the rest of the session. Think it's ok, I just need to STRETCH and not let my legs get so tight.
Because of these shin troubles, this wasn't a total killer session.

Turned into a rest day. Went out for a run, but then decided to just walk considering how destroyed I was after yesterday. Probably a good idea...

Arrows ints at north adelaide.
I died so hard in this session. Dunno if it's just cuz i've been under a lot of stress with uni or what, but my legs had NOTHING after the first 400m int. Then the rest were awful and i started feeling faint. :(

C • oh dear! maybe we should ea... 6

Another really crappy day at uni :( :( :(
At least I had the new episode of game of thrones to cheer me up. And my early birthday present (new ipod yaaaaaay)
