Training Log Archive: FE

R achilies OK. Doubt it would have been after 16.5k instead of shortened 10.3k. Good day yesterday and learned a lot of positives in gorgeous Mytchett.

1.20 walk at Congo to find 2 of 3 items that dropped out of pack. Found them at 6th attempt just 20m from where I stopped and found pack open.

OMM replacement, ran with 5kg race weight pack. Congo, Mytchett E, then W, back then to E. Less than 2min errors. Stopped watch when swopping maps & rearranging pack. HR b/w 125 & 135.
Planned 16.5k & 64c, did 10.3k & 40c.
Very surprised that running with pack seemed normal if slower. Only walked where it was safer or steep as normal. Bodes well.
Fine for 75 min, at 105 min R shin hurt & achilies hurt, so followed course to water point & cutbout Windmill loop.

Calf has been sore and planned to rest this week until I had to walk three return trips to work today instead the usual speedy one. Fast daily walking with hills has definitely been useful base training and has kept hamstrings & calves nicely stretched.
