Walking (Walk/shuffle) 5:00 [1]

Again no reaction.

Monday May 30, 2016 #

Stretching/extensions 6:00 [1]

No reaction from shuffling yesterday - progress.

Swimming 15:00 [3] 0.5 km (30:00 / km)

Lido(nws) - Mainly 50s, no wetsuit. Swimming with a wetsuit seems to help swimming without, more than the other way around. Possibly wishful thinking!

Swimming 15:00 [3] 0.55 km (27:16 / km)

Lido(ws) - 100wu, 4 x 100 av 1.55, 70 rest. 50 wd. Equals best time from Nov 2014.

Calf seems to be recovering from activity slightly quicker week by week. More gentle activity = more circulation = quicker recovery etc.

Orienteering 28:29 [2] 2.9 km (9:49 / km) +105m 8:19 / km

Bloom Wood - Short Green. Good course and day to out in the woods. Only walked 20% where it was rough/slippy/or uphill and "ran" with tiny symmetrical paces. Lost 10+s at 5, 20s at 6 in circle. Forgotten how annoyed you can get with yourself and less forgivable going slower, lost 75s going to more prominent thicket at 9. Short, even for a short green, which suited me. Pleased how calf felt during and after. Took 400ibu in advance. Will try to keep active for next 48 hrs.

Fast Walking 15:00 [1]

Blackheath, including some O speed shuffling. Caught the tail end of the Guildford Hash and discovered an ex-GO orienteer's memorial seat entitled, "Last control" with a O flag on the plaque. Cool!

Saturday May 14, 2016 #

Spinning 2:00 [0]

Just turning pedals on lowest gear slowly with only the left leg clipped in.

Thursday May 12, 2016 #

Swimming 20:00 [3] 0.7 km (28:34 / km)

Lido(ws) - feeling good.

Orienteering 45:00 [0] 2.7 km (16:40 / km) +135m 13:20 / km

Chantries orange with C. Strange going along old animal tracks on steep slopes that I used to train on to find they are now shown as small paths on the new 1:7.5k map. Well attended fun event.

Note

Eureka moment potentially!? Counter intuitively tried freeing nerve before orienteering by flossing nerve vigorously around 2 hrs before, using the logic that the reaction afterwards would mainly consist of aggravating the nerve rather than minor muscle damage. Hopefully a freer aggravated nerve, will be better than a mild but continuous aggravation of the nerve.

Fast Walking 20:00 [1]

Alternating fast and 20% steady, excluding 5 min steady at start.
