Training Log Archive: roar

I think I did ok last week considering the injury. Still got a decent volume in with cross training. For now my body seems to be telling me what the limit of running is so will be mixing it up a little on Mondays to relieve some of that.

Monday: am swim, pm easy 30 mins + core
Tuesday: easy 1hr
Wednesday/Thursday: There is some talk of orienteers doing hills on Wednesday evening. In any case I'll do hills, gym, 90mins in that order just not sure which days.
Friday: rest - and this means actual no running rest
Saturday: am intervals, pm gym. Possibly climbing in here somewhere which sounds tough but fair.
Sunday: Long run, orienteering in Porirua maybe or else last weekends x-terra route.

Over to Karori pool in the morning. Since I can't swim constantly for 40 mins I had to come up with something. Started with 5 mins breaststroke then did freestyle for 4 lengths followed by a rest. Did that a few times then reckoned I could do 6 which I did twice. Aimed for 8 then but was grand and did 10. Finished with 2 quick ones before 5 mins breaststroke to finish off.

Pre run physio exercises. This includes some calf activation things like lunges up on toes and quick leg swapping. Having a nice long carpeted hallway is great.

With Jonny on his injury comeback down to Karori park for a lap and back again. Then 4 strides up the laneway. Feeling good.

House core
Since we are all orienteers here I put together a little core routine. Conor wussed out claiming he was tired from digging a trench all day but Jonny & Regina joined in. Good fun but probably needs some adjustment to the programming.
