Training Log Archive: Wyatt

Feeling better today. A little tag with Oriana in the yard to test the body and it was fine. Will resume normal training tomorrow.

I think this has put me up (in this injured year) to 99.9 hours of running+orienteering training. Do I go run 6 minutes in the next hour? We'll see...

Actually, it's 99:58... just 2 minutes...

About an hour after my last post on 12/27, and a few hours after the long run, my head decided, relatively suddenly, to feel feverish. Not too surprising, as the rest of the family had all felt bad. AJ almost throwing up on Wednesday, Angelica a little woozy on Tuesday and Wednesday. I had managed to avoid the family illnesses that last several times, but not this time.

Despite feeling like I had a fever, I didn't - at least the two times I checked. And I've gotten on/off better a few times in the last 3 days. Most of today was spent suffering some kind of stomach pain with the same head kinda feverish... Not terrible, but certainly something that requests rest, and not running. I'm a bit annoyed by this though, and if the stomach is even somewhat better tomorrow, I may just take some DayQuil and try to jog a bit in the afternoon.

In the midst of this personal nuisance, a much larger tradgedy was narrowly escaped. Yesterday evening, Angelica & kids we're on their way to Petco on 202, turning left through two lanes of stopped traffic that were waving her through, when somebody decides to pull out & try pass everyone on the shoulder, colliding with the front of the minivan. The very good news is that the kids are completely unhurt, and Angelica's only suffeing from relatively minor airbag burns/muscle-slap in a forearm, a finger & a lip. The van did a nice job protecting them, and is now sitting at some yard over the holiday weekend. It will get looked at next week to see if the engine compartment is intact enough to simply repair the whole thing, or if it'll sold off for spare parts...

C • Sorry to hear about that, but glad that everyone is ok 1

Betzwood to Audubon to Perk. Trail, up to Arcola bridge, then back along bike trail (dirt edge >50% of the time)

My current training plan is a 3-week cycle, 6/8/10 hour weeks. (Currently in an 8 hour week.) Looking like:

Day Week	6	8	10
Mon.	30 easy	40 easy	50 easy
Tue.	~10on/10off speedplay for 60	15/8xMt.Joy/15	20/~60-min-time-trial/20
Wed.	90 easy	120 easy	150 easy
Thu.	30 easy	40 easy	50 easy
Fri.	15/10x200m/200m rest/15	15/8x400m/200m rest/15	15/6x800m/200m rest/15
Sat.	30 easy	40 easy	50 easy
Sun.	Competition	Competition	Competition + 2nd run if short

Numbers are minutes unless otherwise stated.

8xHill intervals @ Mt. Joy, Cannon-sign to pavement at top (top layer has been removed - not sure how I'll re-mark this point when road removal is complete...)
Much slower than I've done this in the past. Apparently I'm still a bit out of shape, plus the wet leaves and squishy soil probably didn't help.

1:49+2:14=4:03
1:44+2:13=3:57
1:50+2:06=3:56
1:43+2:09=3:52
1:51+2:15=4:06
1:43+2:08=3:51
1:50+2:04=3:54
1:48+2:06=3:54

HR plot surprisingly consistent with the times above.

Visualized various folks/events while doing this.

10 laps around the block at 1:15am... After Xmas AM with family in Boulder, CO, then travel, flight and baggage delays getting home, I didn't get out for the intended 40 minutes, but this is better than nothing. We'll see how I stick to my latest plan...
