Run to intervals and easy running in between. I feel good, but after the intervals I feel the pains and aches from the not completely digested Sunday races. Since I consider March still more of a training month, I don't really taper before the race off or take time off after the race.

Today I found a good format, inspired by Holger Hott-Johansen's web site: I do 3-4 minutes tempo on a trail with a few small climbs (1 contour up and down). I run easy for about 1.5 minutes, I repeat the sequence 6 times. The 3-4 minutes are a good time to get up to full speed. It is about the length of an average orienteering leg.

I need to work all the muscle groups, to get the soreness out, a left over from Sunday's races. I jump into the car without warming down to get back home soon. Didn't have time to change or warm down. Anyway, after the stretching I feel much better.
