11 AM

Run 1:31:09 [2] 19.8 km (4:36 / km)
ahr:135 max:156 slept:9.5 weight:72.6kg shoes: AH33 (Black)

Extended easy run/sort of long run. All in the park so plenty of looping.

So today a frightfully proper woman called me an asshole. Which I believe is the first time that somebody has actually shouted abuse at me while running, rather than "friendly encouragement". There were some deer on the path I wanted to run down and I ran through some of them and then ran around the rest of them, and the deer stood up and moved a little bit away. This woman said, "You didn't have to do that [pause] asshole". I believe that by her own reasoning that she is also an asshole because she didn't have to call me one.

Family commitments and me umming and ahhing over the state of my foot from yesterday (thoughts, caused by sharp cornering at the bottom of the hill reps and as such is/will not be a problem).

So a shortened than planned run, but still a reasonable week of training complete.

3x12 [1]
On the bike path next to the motorway.
This was a stupid day to decide to run intervals outside, freezing rain causing it to be super slippery.

Fell once (fell running, haha) but luckily was going very slowly at the time, only damage was to my pride and the cheeks of the onlookers through laughter.

Run 1:08:46 [2] 10.9 km (6:19 / km)
ahr:126 max:150 slept:8.5 weight:72.6kg shoes: VJ Sarva 2017

Easy morning in Nordmarka, bit of fresh snow. Everything feeling alight after the skiing, everything feeling bad after the cricket.
6 PM

Gym 40:00 [1]

Prison squats
4x8x75 squats
2x3x100 dead
2x3x70 Jefferson
Core

Two things of note from the dull monotony of my gym sessions. Firstly, instead of the normal mix of chart nonsense we had some love ballards for music. Love of lifting maybe the playlist should be called. Secondly, the man on the bench press behind me let out a huge burp while I was mid squad. Which is pretty disgusting and if I was an alpha male and we wasn't massive I would have told him so. Anyway, I was disgusted, but apparently the 52 year old woman who was doing core exercises was not as she went over afterwards and proceeded to flirt horrendously with him. Maybe instead of negging, people should be deploying belching.

ahr:177 max:188 shoes: AG2B

The follow Kris Jones train. Indoors in Bislett

This was not the most sensible time to run quickly, but both Kris and Sponge had put the effort to come to Oslo so it did seem food to at least not turn up. Then there was the inevitable chat about various speeds. When the race started I was under the impression we were going to run 9 flat, 38 seconds for the first 200m everybody having a great time, I stupidly mentioned that it was a bit slow. So Kris cranked up the pace.

177 hr avg for the 3k
