V!!! CAOM Training Santo Andre.
Intended this trio to be Training Camp so did quite a big session - partly because I was really keen to get out in the sun and run in a really nice if occasionally bushy wood. Ironically ran really well, the best of the trip and much encouraged but at the end my RHS calf was sore Ugh

off road 1:09:58 [3] 6.0 mi (11:40 / mi)
Blaise Castle from the car park. Much more focused , working hard and definitely running better on a balmy calm sunny day with a feel of early Spring but not a great time.....
Monday Feb 21, 2022 #
off road 1:12:00 [3] 5.5 mi (13:05 / mi)
Ran quite late in the day on Purdown which is currently messed up with civil improvement work -probably overdressed but certainly pottering -taking so long I cut route short. On the positive did do the three hills
Sunday Feb 20, 2022 #
off road 37:00 [3] 3.0 mi (12:20 / mi)
Yet another horrid day, so went onto Purdown just to get out. Stayed out of the wind
Saturday Feb 19, 2022 #
off road 1:03:00 [3] 6.0 mi (10:30 / mi)
Early morning run around Leigh Woods with Laura - found a gap in the weather - some storm damage but not too much -more deviations due to forestry activity. Good to catch up and enjoyed a bit faster pace than current plodding
Friday Feb 18, 2022 #
Note
Storm Eunice so decided to work on some issues rather than do exercise.
Hope that the few days off this week -hope to be fresh and enthusiastic by next week

off road 12:00 [2] 1.0 km (12:00 / km)
Warm up but still knees not great and lacking in energy.
2 AM
orienteering race 1:37:42 [4] 9.0 km (10:51 / km)
MLS at Hawley -very much in control, if pretty slow to control 9, where I was actually just in front of Mark. Missed 10l by a few meters but was suddenly unsure and lost 4 mins. Pretty headless chicken through the next controls losing time at 11,12,13 and 15. By which time I was 14 mins down on Mark.
The worst orienteering for ages, neither my head nor heart were in it and I was near quitting. but I continued was pretty clean for the rest of the course but very slow. Overall enjoyed it but can do much better here,

Controlling 1:30:00 [2] 10.0 km (9:00 / km)
Great Wood, waking controls up and collecting in on feet for 4 hours.
Wet and windy weekend. Quite a lot of brashings and hills, took its toll on the knees which were surprisingly/ disappointingly painful

flat efforts 43:00 [4] 3.5 mi (12:17 / mi)
Pyramid session on the Downs but around the bushy bit rather than the perimeter and in studs not flats, Probably a bit slower so down slope not quite so difficult. 30 secs to 3 mins x 2 with max of 90 secs
Thursday Feb 10, 2022 #
off road 1:44:00 [3] 9.0 mi (11:33 / mi)
Run with Chris , Mark and Alice from Wotton under edge. North along CW to Dursley golf course and then down hill after Braveheart quarry, up lane to the common and then into the village along the river. Great views and a real feel of spring starting, snowdrops, crocuses and almost daffs. Its the 10th Feb!!!

orienteering race 1:17:27 [5] 7.0 km (11:04 / km)
MLS Queen Elizabeth Forest park. New area to me some excellent beech wood and no shortage of South Downs contours. Some quite simplistic orienteering so a bit disappointed to lose contact with the map going into 8 (90 secs mins) and also misreading small path at 12. I was actually standing on the control but did not see it as nestling in small pit and went out ugh...Another 90 secs. So took a bit of gloss off what was a good and enjoyable day out in the sunshine. Oh and the 1-2 split of 9.51, admitted uphill and also some forest road running was pretty good almost matching Axel and if that was good, then 9-10 which again mostly gentle uphill I absolutely nailed with what was a truly remarkable 5.23 and completely unbelievable 3rd.....this can not happen 7 secs down on the winner who by way of context did 52 mins for the course. What the hell happened? -I am going to use that contactless EMIT brick again!!

off road 2:05:00 [2] 8.75 mi (14:17 / mi)
CW fron Seven Springs to Cleeve with Dave and Celia. Heavy rain and gales overnight so a very different day. Everywhere very wet and muddy. Hit by some squalls. Not as memorable a leg but good views across to the Malverns and the Midlands
Saturday Feb 5, 2022 #
off road 2:40:00 [2] 12.25 mi (13:04 / mi)
CW weekend with Dave and Celia. Stanway to Chipping Campden. A really nice route, much of this rich countryside still green despite being mid -winter. Broadway still busy bot not too busy.
Friday Feb 4, 2022 #
flat efforts 54:00 [4] 4.0 mi (13:30 / mi)
Oldbury Court 11 x 2 mins in Oldbury Court. What must have been very heavy overnight rain made choice of flat shoes not great, but may have meant less trouble with breathing etc than of late
Thursday Feb 3, 2022 #
off road 1:18:00 [3] 6.0 mi (13:00 / mi)
Purdown standard route quite late in the day, From time must have been really pottering but still training done

2 AM
orienteering race 1:23:39 [5] 9.0 km (9:18 / km)
MLS Borden north. Not too bad a run. Quite varied, in and out of different blocks with changes of terrain. Went pretty well to 10 but missed obvious route to 11 (under red line), first control in complex and ended up very confused going into the complex area. Suddenly did not know where I was, lost confidence, thought I must be making a parallel error I wasn't eventually re-located and lost what was pretty much 5 mins to spoil what was a pretty good and still enjoyable trip
Tuesday Feb 1, 2022 #
flat efforts 42:00 [4] 3.0 mi (14:00 / mi)
Bradley Stoke , 10 x 2mins with 30 secs. Good running conditions, pretty much on my knees by the last one, which I finished with little style -still session done
