morning travelling again

turned into a full rest day, unintentionally but maybe for the best :-)

Event: 25manna / medeldistans
 

25manna, i had leg 1. mainly stable, had a plan and followed it, excellent! managed to fall hard to 1, not too bad but adrenaline kick then everyone suddenly running past everywhere when i got up, a bit stressed and lost 45s(?) with checking wrong gaffle then bad route on exit. really hard fight to try and get back with the lead pack, they were moving quickly and i was on my own for the second half, sometimes able to see them ahead but not use them effectively. almost managed it, just caught the tail of the long string by the end. maybe would have done if a better day physically? not often i feel sick at the finish but certainly did today. felt (and looked, i heard...) more laboured than normal. early race, still regaining fitness after summer, random daily dip, knock on effect of under-eating at the beginning of the week or something else? will monitor when away in next week but some easier days now. relaxing and enjoying Scotland! so excited :-D

no chance for second training today!

basic gym stuff

just there and back again and i think that's all for today!

gone a bit skinny again, honestly have a constant stream of food going in my face but need to think carefully about where i can eat more concentrated things. back on the full fat milk. no consequences yet but need to take care of situation. after Saturday should be some easy days, need to have an easy beginning of week in Scotland as some races at the end. might have to get on the Frijj and local delicacies.

Nåsten, easy round tracks and sections of the NOM

Relay training but i was a bit stressed to think. Waste of time as an orienteering training but nice with some hard terrain running. ive got quite a bit to do atm (translation, coaching, planning training and my own training) and it's stressful cos i CARE a lot about all of these and want everything to be as good as it can be. life would be much easier if i didnt give a toss.

easy day, office morning. then hung kites for Profilen, then ran round with them.

from home, surprisingly fine after travel and races, struggling to enforce speed limit. last bit carrying shopping. absolute minger of an autumn day.

treadmill intervals. true to form i got my speed wrong, about 30s faster than intended min/km this time. wondered why first km was killing me... worked back up to that on decreasing time intervals, going on til my hamstrings started complaining. not used to such high speed just now! should go nicely together with the other two hard trainings this week, which are both orienteering.

morning jog, Zurich

either side of rockgympa, mostly before

first rockgympa in a few weeks but i think the gym has been working, stronger than i was :-)
