Road warm up/down 11:29 [2] 2.23 km (5:09 / km)
ahr:139 max:151 shoes: Brooks Ghost 10

Jog from home down to the orienteering. It is handy when you can warm up from home for a race!

Orienteering race 50:55 [4] *** 8.66 km (5:53 / km) +94m 5:34 / km
ahr:171 max:179 24c shoes: Inov8 X-Talon (Yellow)

Muckross Abbey

Nice morning for a run. Legs feeling mostly ok so helped enjoy the run.

Maybe a couple of controls not in the right place but not wrong by much. Lost most time on number 6, map missing a lot of detail, but should really have seen it, so maybe 1 min lost here. 5 was also wrong but think it was moved by the Jarveys.

Think I lost time on 8 too, followed the wrong path, don't know why but always seem confused in this area.

17 I lost some time on, came in slightly late and then got distracted by what felt like a re-entrant. So maybe 30 seconds - 1 minute lost here.

Straightforward enough though with my local knowledge. Does it count as a superman when you are the only person to have run the course?

Avg Cadence = 99rpm
El Chapo S01 E09

Didn’t take long to get through this series.

Pre-breakfast too this morning which was fine. Got 5 hours uninterrupted sleep last night but was awake for an hour from around 6-7 so not all good.

Did struggle a small bit around 5-10 minutes from the end, getting tired but finished strongly. Happy with the HR. Either that or I’m very unfit.

Note
(rest day)

Had been feeling that a rest day wouldn’t been a bad idea considering the lack of training this week and the training weekend. That idea wasn’t set until I went to the dentist and needed to get a filling, or at least refill the filling that fell out last week. So half my mouth was numb for the day. Sensible decision to take it easy. Was feeling very tired when I got home from work.

Trails/Road 45:13 [3] 8.91 km (5:04 / km) +80m 4:51 / km
ahr:152 max:165 shoes: Brooks Ghost 10

Wasn't a bad evening after a bad morning. Out before it got dark since i'd an interview this morning and took the afternoon off.

Achilles ok, didn't bother me too much, but could feel it. Left toe which is a nice purple along with the front part of the foot I didn't feel so just the bruising there i'm assuming.

Roar manages to run around the Blessington lake, no chance of running around Lough Leane, it's very high. It feels like it's been raining all week. Didn't get my feet wet due to the lake but the path back from the abbey was wet.

ahr:144 max:163

Avg Cadence = 100rpm

El Chapo S02 E08

Was going to skip to E4 of Ozark but would appear there’s an issue with that episode too. Have E5 though but must see if I can get E4 first.

Felt fine on the bike, time passed quickly. Plan was to run today but Achilles not feeling up to it. Maybe tomorrow.

Note

Front part of left foot swollen and looks like some bruising around the toe. Despite that the foot doesn't feel that bad and I can curl my toes, so will ignore it.

After thinking about my training during Anton's talk on Saturday there is a lack of intensity at the moment. I'm going to try and have some intensity in my weeks going forward but for the moment that'll be on the bike as opposed to running. Don't trust my calves to handle speed on my feet.

And due to circumstances this week i'll try for either the Thursday or Saturday sessions for that intensity. That also will allow the body to recover after what was a tough weekend of training.

Monday - Rest
Tuesday - Bike
Wednesday - Run
Thursday - Bike
Friday - Run
Saturday - Bike
Sunday - Orienteering (but mainly a run based on location)
