Felt really good today so gave it the beans! Best time for 1 lap since nearly a year ago. Surprise.

Running (xc/terrain) 34:20 [4] 4.8 km (7:09 / km)

This did not go well however and my left knee started hurting a lot around the bottom of the cap, where I broke it. This is not the first time I have felt this kind of pain recently, I remembered going for a walk one day and it suddenly coming on and couldn't put load through the knee without it hurting lots. Weird. However I also remembered that it went away as suddenly as it came. So I went back home, changed my shoes and went for a run instead (with no particular emphasis on any leg) which went ok!
Most of my benchmark terrain route, in the end once I'd realised that my left knee was coping fine I actually pushed fairly hard. This was not sustainable in terms of my right ankle however. Frying pan into the fire like.

Very similar to yesterday, definitely the best few days since the headaches began. Very tired but happy :)

Orienteering race (forest) 1:32:30 [4] 9.0 km (10:17 / km)
ahr:162 max:175 shoes: inov-8 oroc 280 red - 2nd pair
Onto the Saturday event, much more risky being a usual, morning start but I actually didn't wake up with that much of a headache! Left it as late as I could to make sure I was ok and when a bad headache didn't materialise I took 400mg Ibuprofen for the ankle.
Fairly reasonable navigation again, physically ok again, ankle better with the anti-inflammatory. Was worried about making the distance but managed it. Tired.

Running warm up/down (xc) 6:50 [2] 1.1 km (6:13 / km)

Orienteering race (forest) 34:10 [4] 3.6 km (9:29 / km)
ahr:163 max:177 shoes: inov-8 oroc 280 red - 2nd pair
Wasn't looking forward to this, had entered all 3 races just before the headaches started. At least it was an evening event and by the time we were driving there I had a clear head. Problem was that I wasn't running first and looking after Hugo was stressful and the headache started to come back.
So eventually jogged off to the start and expected to have to jog straight back again but actually my headache was gone in 5 minutes of warming up. Result, running is the new prescription!
Really enjoyed myself. Navigated pretty well too, just one significant mistake losing a couple of minutes.
Physically ok apart from right ankle - not good.

Running (xc/terrain) 57:55 [3] 7.2 km (8:03 / km) +260m 6:49 / km
ahr:152 max:172 shoes: walsh pb trainer
The headaches are generally better by late afternoon/evening and I felt so good tonight that I just had to get out into the hills. We are on a mini-break staying with some friends in their mountain cabin, very remote, very beautiful.
Physically a bit flat as expected, ankle not happy but the session did not give me a headache which I guess is pretty positive!
