Running warm up/down 24:45 [3]
Running 25:15 [3]
Felt soooo exhausted/tired/flat after work so thought this would be a struggle. It was, but I still think I might’ve potentially been doing slightly better at the end of this session compared to last week..?
2*3x(1x300m loop, 1x350mloop). 30sec between all loops, 3min between the two sets. Mostly on grass/bark chips and with some nice clim for such small loops. Probably exactly what my slow, weak legs needed!

Good game but my legs felt kinda sore and I had extra slow reaction time for some reason.

Morning jog to centennial park for a loop and back. Feeling very average at the start but better and better as I went on. It’s darker and darker of a morning... :(

Running 56:30 [3]
At Glenrock with some fantastic company. Loved it and felt good. Not as long as it should have been but today was more about just enjoying it. Think I’m going to set myself up a few hard weeks of training now!

Running 40:00 [3]
A rainy Maitland parkrun this week. Slowed down at the end of km 2 and 3 and ended with 23.15. Not too disappointed considering my legs are still sore from Thursday, and considering what the Maitland course is like on a rainy day.

15ish warm up
Made my way to the group training Paula has set up in Chatswood. A bit of a trek from work so not sure I’ll be able to quite make it each week, but I think it’ll be really good for me if I can!
Struggled through 2* 1xshort loop (62-72 seconds) 1x long loop (2.07-2.19). 30 seconds between loops, 3min between sets. Clearly very inconsistent and slowed down a lot, but this session had like 6+ more mins of effort of any session I’ve done in the last ~2 years which is huge for me!
10ish warm down.

Running 1:00:00 [3]
Legs felt soooooo uncomfortable for some reason?! Just super tight, like the worst they’ve been in months. Makes me think it’s potentially because it was an afternoon run and I’d been sitting down all day?

Running long 1:10:30 [3]
Shorter long run becaue I’ll go to the sprint event tonight. Works out well because I didn’t quite have the energy for much more this morning! Nice out though!

Orienteering 19:34 [3]
Feeling exhausted today and ready for a rest day but thoroughly enjoyed this! Took the wrong route to 10 and 11 but I’m not that fussed, kind of feel like I was almost orienteering properly again.

Running 45:00 [3]
Had a bit of a shocker and somehow didn’t realise my orthotics weren’t in my shoes until I was jogging to parkrun (?!). Turned back to get them but then had to push a little too hard to get there on time. Very nearly decided to just turn it into a long run instead but glad I didn’t. Even though the legs were kind of tired before I’d started I held on relatively fine for 23.09. Slower than last time, but oh well.

Running 45:40 [3]
Feeling better and better on my easy runs I think! Getting back into the swing of things but probs need to start making my weeks a little more purposeful again...

Running 41:00 [3]
Colder this morning so super enjoyable running weather! Felt good, but the arch of my foot is a bit tender again when I first get up. Fine once I’m running but I forget / don’t know what to do to take care of it...

Sometimes people swimming laps just kind of suck, and today was one of those days...

Strength + Conditioning 35:00 [3]
Bit of everything. Felt terrible this morning but much better after work so I squeezed this in before netball. Apparently terrible hay fever weather or something so hoping that was it and I’m not fighting anything!
Netball 25:00 [3]
Fell over and ripped a hole in my last pair of good tights... I hope I learn how to be coordinated one day soon.

Running hills 15:00 [3]
2*4xhills. Same session as last time. I was marginally quicker, and I think I even felt better jogging home after too?! Happy days.

Running 30:30 [3]
Easy run and included a few drills (caught a glimpse of my running style yesterday in a window and realised I should add these in again...). Slept bad again last night but felt more and more lively as this run went on.

Running 1:32:34 [3] 16.57 mi (5:35 / mi)
To Centennial park for a loop > back past home in the hope of picking up a roomie for the last bit (didn't happen) > Sydney Park for a loop and home. Felt quite good and not too smashed at all at the end, very pleasing :)

Swimming 43:00 [3]
I’ve been sleeping terribly lately so I skipped the parkrun alarm. Kinda regretted it initially because I had no idea what to do instead - such a hot day and was meant to storm this afternoon... Decided to swim again while it was warm. Not the best parkrun substitute but consistent for the 40mins and a nice break for the foot.

So sweaty and warm this morning! Was tired but felt better as I went on. Think I might still have a rest and sleep in tomorrow though.

Bit of it all. Conscious of my foot, a bit tender walking this morning.

Netball 25:00 [3]
It’s been so long I initially logged this as 25 seconds not 25 minutes. What a rookie...

Running 48:01 [3]
1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1. Every speed 'session' I've done of late has only totalled either 8 or 10 minutes of hard effort, AND I clocked the fastest pace I've gone in a while on these 60 second efforts, so woo! (I'm all about taking the little wins at the moment). In a good frame of mind with training where as long as a session is tough and I feel like I've had to push I'm happy, no matter how slow my times are or how short the session is. Not sure how long that'll last though...

Running 1:10:00 [3]
Decided late yesterday I’d make my way to the sss this afternoon. Probably would’ve switched things around and done a long run yesterday if I had planned for it but thought I’d still go out for a shorter long run this morning Nd take it kinda easy later on. Hotter than I expected though so I actually felt kinda buggered!

Orienteering 22:02 [3]
Sydney sprint series. Soooo so so rusty and slow. Lost like 20 seconds on three (oops) and made some slightly silly route choices looking back but loved it. Good times.

Running (Parkrun) 22:50 [3]
I'M BACK (not fitness wise, just logging on attackpoint wise). I've now been able to run/train most days for the last few months AND I just entered my first orienteering event for what feels like a lifetime, so this felt like a good way to celebrate!
St Peters parkrun is my new local. One relatively big hill in the middle but otherwise quite a flat and speedy course on paths. Still moving along embarrassingly slowly but I've been improving week to week so can't complain too much.
