Note
weight:150lbs (rest day)

Lightest for 8 years.
Got stuck in traffic jams for 1.75hrs (A322 closed) on Saturday visiting relatives. Worst possible position with pressure on repair area. Took a quick pint to feel relaxed again!
Calves feeling very sore this morning, Did 15mins massage. Easy walking only.

15min gentle pilates after w/u. Can now do 75% of the real basics.

9 AM

Running race 22:28 [5] 5.0 km (4:30 / km)

Frimley Lodge Park 5k - 22.28 - 47th
Pleased with the time, 2 days beforehand target was an easy 24, on the morning target was reduced to 23. Started fast to get position on the canal. Just over 95% effort, Had stitch coming on after 7min (b'fast 90min before), went away.
I'm going to have to run this again to get a more realistic time.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [1]

Usual brief w/u, kept walking after finish and thorough stretching.

3 PM

Walking 10:00 [1]

Decent pace treadmill - mod gradients. Strectching.

Core & legs (Pilates) 10:00 [1]

Gentle pilates.

Warm Up warm up/down 10:00 [1]

Straight from gym, car to Whitmoor and jogging and strectching before and after.

Running intervals 20:00 [4]

Whitmoor Common
4.00, 4.00, 3.30, 3.00 intervals with 90s strecthing recovery.
All at race pace or above. No discomfort at all - so I can now claim to be injury free!!!
Some way off being fit/safe to O at speed on moderate to rough terrain.
Still limiting knee lift and stride length, but should change in the next week. Just feel tired and unfit - but only to be expected given not many rest days of late and anaesthetic & trauma take a lot out of you.

Very gentle pilates - leg shuttles, pelvic tilts, reach forwards, some partial crunches - not quite ready yet.

(injured)

Eagle House - SN training; 3.4k course
Lost 0.30s flag not visible and 1.00 ran past pit. Ran about 1min/k below normal pace, took a couple of longer routes to avoid rough terrain, paused 15s midway to stretch. Felt good to orienteer continously at around 85% of normal speed. No after effects.

Achilles sore (trainers too tight), calves beginning to suffer from hard ground. Usual w/u, 2min w/d and stretching.

Whitmoor Common - 4 x 5min, 1 min stretching b/w. Turned out last was at 4.5m/k around race pace, but still felt moderate. Lifting knees today, but not running with normal gait yet.
Feeling good another milestone much sooner than I expected.

w/u 10min mainly fast walking & stretching, w/d jogging/strectching.

Walking 30:00 [1]

20min gentle walking at O Club shadowing - taking it v easy after moving 15kg box at work - idiotic lapse!. 10 min steady late evening - still in one piece.
