Warm up and a reluctant warm down. I was tired

ParkO event #2 at Jesmond Park. Had expected the park to take up at least half the map so was a little shocked when it wasn't even 1/4 of the map. Still think it was a really enjoyable course though which was nice! I overran 7, wasted time standing at 8 picking a route to 9 and then I think I chose the bad route anyway so i lost some time. Still felt a bit congested with my breathing at the end but I was still able to push. Sore legs from intervals though, hammies especially!

Course Long - Splits

Warm up and warm down with drills. Still pretty warm even after 6, did not take long at all to work up a sweat!

Intervals at the track with Macey and Sal. 4x 400m, 200m, 200m. 1min between intervals and then 2min between sets. Not sure how happy I am with it, I felt like I could recover ok between intervals but I barely lifted the pace for the 200's. I'd spent a fair amount of time at the beach during the day and had a little too much sun exposure, so I looked like a tomato and it didn't take much hard work for me to feel it in my gut. Huge headwind for the home straight too which I probably didn't help the times.

Got to the gym super early so did an easy 30 on the treadmill.

Body Blitz at the gym. Super tough class! Heaps of leg stuff, i think i'll pull up pretty sore...

With Macey, Angus and Rob. Started off feeling pretty alright. Then we had a nice section of sand follow by some stairs and that took it out of me a bit. And then the last 15mins ended up as a bit of a battle between me and the half banana i ate for breakfast... And then i ended pathetically and walked the last little bit back to the car :( Surprisingly hot today!

Last minute decision to head out to Belford. Regret! Not of going orienteering but the choice of map. Spiders absolutely everywhere, it was disgusting :(((( Kind of a bust regarding the physical point of the session because i was so stop start but i navigated quite alright after control one and i was pleased with my compass. Days like today when i have goosebumps of fear the entire way around and come back covered in sticky spider webs i get confused why i like orienteering so much.
18min warm up then 30min course and no warm down because i was so sick of it hahah. Feeling pretty much 100% again which is a plus though!

C • Run with a stick! 2

Warm up and warm down, a few drills after both. Warm down was a bit longer than planned but i committed to a lap of the lake and had to make it back to the car.

A little back to it intervals session at Walka. 3x3/1min. Actually felt so hard which seems a bit ridiculous, my breathing was just going crazy!? Legs were a bit funny too. Not so much tired but just a bit weak. Maybe from getting a good stretch this morning? Pace wasn't too bad but i just didn't feel great.

One last one to kick the cold completely!
