Training Log Archive: W

Light run down to the Jyväsjärvi and back around. Almost went crazy and decided to do the whole lake, but didn't in the end. Probably a good choice. (In reality, not a good choice, its volume time! I just didn't have the motivation. It'll come back eventually, I hope.)

Finally got to go to another Kurko-Cup. I sucked. Not enough night orienteering at all and really brutal terrain that I simply cannot run quickly in. Didn't really hit any controls very well and felt super discouraged by the end. Oh well, I didn't get to go to any of these this year, so I shouldn't expect too much.

Went indoors to the track for some 6 x 1 kilometer at a to be determined pace. Basically whatever I felt like it. The first 4 were manageable, then the last two I tried to do quite a bit faster, so I ran 3:24, 3:24, 3:22, 3:19, 3:13, 3:12. Felt pretty good most of the time. Ran in my 1600s which I hoped would work my calves a bit, but I think tehre's really no way I can do 21k in those shoes. Calves just won't allow it.

I suppose one big reason why I haven't been logging much is that training just hasn't been going all that well. Its goign okay, but I'm not getting anywhere close to the volume I would have liked to. So many things at school and work has hit me at once that I find myself coming home every day and just doing more work until 11 and then I go to bed. No great opportunities to train! Trying to go to the gym has been quite frustrating too since its always really really crowded and the bros totally dominate the olympic lifting area.
