rhr:49 slept:9.0 (rest day)

Felt kind of exhausted (like really dragging myself up stairs) so I didn't go to night O training even though I was really looking forward to it. Better to have a day off after not feeling good on the last few runs.. and hopefully better on the weekend after a lazy day and relaxing evening in the warm :)
its getting really COLD outside! But in 3 weeks I'll be on the way to the southern hemisphere!
Also should have iron results back at the start of next week, perhaps still low despite tablets etc.

ahr:143 max:170 shoes: Adidas Supernova boost

Run from Hönggerberg with uni 'power' group, 2x6x1min hills. Quads still sore and feeling a bit tired running but overall a bit better than yesterday.

First set of 6x1min hill was steep, I ran conservative/consistent and really felt the steepness with my tired legs. managed pretty much the same distance each time.
Second set of 6x1min hill was more gradual and I felt much better. Pushed hard on the last four, getting further up each time.
Felt pretty knackered on the warm down even though we were going at slow jog.
Next week I'm definately not doing the tuesday run so I can do the hard sessions better.

Run with Uni group from Fluntern. My quads were still feeling a bit tight/sore beforehand and also felt pretty dead whilst running and worse after!
Most of the run was pretty easy but with hill efforts throughout, I didn't push them very hard because I couldn't really..

Long run from Pfäffikon up to Meinrad via Jakobsweg (about 550m climb, 40mins), then up the Etzel (further 140m climb), then down/undulating to Einsiedeln with lots of little detours to make it long enough.
Beautiful sunny autumn again!! Felt pretty good on the climb, just a little tired at the end.

ahr:135 max:160 shoes: Innov8 Oroc

Legs were feeling very tired (from the race downhill on sat and strength lastnight) so this was rather a plod. Ran in terrain for the first half to force me to pick my feet up, then up to Luegeten through the fog. Coming back down was a bit painful for the still sore quads. Did 2x10min efforts but couldn't the legs to go fast enough to get HR up much.

Running (recovery) 21:00 [1]
ahr:112 max:122

easy flat run with very sore quad muscles, just enough to get some fresh air between studying. I figured more wasn't going to be useful today despite having long run planned.
Have this slight aching in my chest the last 2 days, I think from tight muscles in my back.

This weeks training was a bit less/easier than planned, but the cold that was threatening seems to have gone and it was good to do the race.
Back into it this week.. Can't wait for the next 6 weeks to go and for summer holidays! So busy with uni and work and training.

Kyburg Lauf on a perfect autumn afternoon, starting in a village with really pretty wooden houses and a castle. Feeling lucky today :)
It was an undalating 10km race with a 160m climb in the last 1.3km! (not sure about the total climb, one place they write 220m another 300m, I would say 230 from the map..)
The start and first section was narrow, so from my poor starting position the first few kms were slow and frustrating,trying to dodge people and overtake. Not till almost 15mins did I feel like I could just run in a straight line! First 6km undulating through fields and forest tracks, legs felt a bit slow but started feeling I could push a bit more as it went on. Then came a looong downhill (about 200m drop) trying to stay in control, then a flat km or so before the start of the stairs up to the castle and finish.. I ran every step because I know I feel worse walking even if it's the same pace, and was thinking to myself 'this is nothing compared to 4 Peaks or Black Hill' :)
I was happy with the run, I ran steadily and was able to push more as it went on, and was quite strong on the hill. And really fun :)
The only annoying thing was that I wrongly assumed our timing chip would start when we went through the start. I started quite a long way back and didn't think it mattered.. I was surprised later to see I was 9th girl only about 3mins behind. http://services.datasport.com/2014/lauf/kyburg/RAN...
Good race training. Got a few more running races before heading to Aus in 6 weeks..

Team OL with Katja and Marcel in HAK. Twas a really fun event and beautiful day.
I ran two sections hard, it was quite easy technically but I annoyingly lost time. On the first leg I was looking for our first meeting point instead of where I should be going which lead to a bad route, and then leaving the 2nd control ran about 200m through some shity forest when I should have gone out to the track (when will I learn about running on tracks in switzerland!). My second section was better, ran my guts out along the track to 13 and then only just made it to the finish in time to meet the others..
