Training Log Archive: fletch

Definitely have a cold. Poo.

Finishing the lightpole mapping of Trigg and finding an open toilet block so I have a start point. All good apart from the strip right along the beach, which was pretty much all unmarked metal poles. Poo.

Had no energy this morning and legs felt pretty dead throughout. This is not a good thing given that today was the end of my easy week and I'm meant to be running a LOT more next week.

My consistent failure to do any rehab exercises has also not miraculously cured my knee.

Spent most of yesterday organising Thursday training stuff. More or less sorted till the end of Feb now, and only about 3 or 4 sessions with maps (other than the remaining lightpole maps) to get me through to mid-June.

Have been feeling pretty flat and tired and not sleeping well this week. Kinda glad I had it pencilled in as an easy week.

Headed out for another round of lightpole mapping today. A repeat dose tomorrow should see the Trigg map done. Really need to get a few more finished before the end of the school holidays. Have put together an 11 week program of events which covers the weeks between Easter and the Perth Marathon. Will have to come up with something different after that.

Felt a fair bit better by the end of the run, but nose is pretty dribbly and i suspect I have the edge of a cold :(

Totally insufficient warm-up as I got stuck in traffic and took 20 minutes longer to get to UWA than last week :( Jogged a lap of the oval, then set off on the first 1.2km sprinterval loop to put out the tapes for everyone else's mass start loops.
2 more similar loops, with 2-4 min recoveries between (nothing quite as structured as it should be). Jogged round loop 3 a second time watching people go all manner of different directions. Good to see there was some route choice involved.
Then everyone across the 2 mass start groups re-grouped and we had a chasing start last loop with 15 second start intervals. Got pretty crowded towards the end.

Cooldown collecting all the tapes afterwards.

Good sized group again. 18 I think...

Rach, Rob, Cameron, Shane, Andre, Virpi, Ricky, Tash, Nicole, AnnS, Andrew, Michelle, Kellie, Oliver, JoshB, other bloke that came with hte Martins that I don't remember the name of, Alice, me.

I should start charging ;)

The usual. A little leg weary. probably should have done this yesterday. Legs were tired but niggle free, but calves tightened up pretty soon after finishing.
