Orienteering - easy 45:00 [1]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider Nov 11

A EUOC trip out! :-) Easy round the JK training maps at Livingston. Only a little bit in the forest as i only had trainers with me.
4 PM

Alternative training (Cross-trainer) 1:00:00 [1]

on the way home. a bit too much of a gap for it to be a combined long training but thought i should do something for endurance, have missed doing long training this week. i dont know if this would count or would just be junk?

Alternative training (Spinning bike) 1:00:00 [3]

3(10x30/30) to make it more interesting
2 PM

Orienteering - hard 25:00 [4]
shoes: Walsh PB racer (Jan 12)

Fast and furious at Craigmillar. Good fun. Quite clean, but not happy with how many times i hadn't read a leg ahead and had to stop or walk out of a control. Mp'd at 6, where i forgot to punch (pin punching), touched the kite like in training and ran off.

Legs starting to feel like they're working again, moving better. a bit heavy from this morning but i'd been wanting a hard day.

Time an estimate, and took off five mins for stopping to help a small girl - had to take her back to a control and convince her it was the one she was looking for :-)

Running - easy warm up/down 35:00 [1]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider Nov 11

Home to Craigmillar, then granny trot to CSE to roll out calves (a bit tight again)

Orienteering - medium 35:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider Nov 11

urgh. the sprint trains i missed last Thursday. Felt about as expected after a day of stress, too much caffeine and not enough sleep. stomach particularly not happy, and legs heavy and not moving at usual interval speed. a couple of times this distracted me and i didnt plan well enough, but tried to keep 'head ahead of legs'. some tricky bits! :-)

at least it's over now though, will get some rest and an afternoon on the beach and hopefully things will pick up again now that i can concentrate on looking after myself more!
6 PM

Aquarunning - easy 1:00:00 [1]

Commonwealth again. looking a bit sunburnt when i got out :-/
