Training Log Archive: ndobbs

Running around Helsinki. I now have a Finnish personnummer and neoprene socks. The socks got used as mittens running back. I could barely see some of the time the wind was blowing so much snow in my eyes. Evil weather.

Does hanging out in a petrol station for 40 minutes [on the wrong day] in the hopes of being brought out to the woods count as training? Damn.

Including ten laps of the island, with 30s rest, fast enough to warm up by the fifth recovery... so maybe 17-20 minutes fastish.

Long socks to keep the calves alive, knee-length (nearly) tights because they're as long as I have, here, thermal plus highlander on top, buff for 7 or 8 laps. This may be my last time running without gloves for a while. It was cold and a little wet and windy to start with, my nose was ready to fall off, thankfully it dried up after a bit.

I tried warming up and loosening up the muscles in the apartment before heading out. It seemed to help.

HS were doing indoor intervals somewhere, but I need my other runners for that.

Are there good and bad times to stretch? Eg static stretching before exercise is somewhat not recommended. Is it bad before bed, for example, when you won't be moving much for many hours? Other times?

C • Stretching 9

I now have a 3d-printed shark atop my computer at work.

A wee run around and around the little island... 215-230 double paces each lap, 4 laps... 2.5(?) km, plus there and back...

Long training up in Salmi. I broke and skipped the last few km, Markus et al were out for another 40 minutes. My arms were cold and I got cold and then my body stopped being able to run in terrain and I began to stumble.

Fun!

I made it to 13... http://www.plohni.com/maps/show_map.php?user=plohn...

Oh, and I was leading to 6. Oops.

Internet barely works at all. Grr. When it does get going again, I want to check out http://airo.ie/
