Feeling better but with such a long day, decided not to train...

Note
(sick)

Stomach still very sore and feeling rough - unable to lie on back overnight and not eating properly yet. More positively, I worked a 15 hour day and got home at 10.30 feeling the best in over 48 hours which is a good sign.

Note
(sick)

Felt rough late evening and then woke overnight with stomach churning, upset & sore... the only positive was that I got to witness the lunar eclipse. Got home at 3sh and went to sleep for nearly 1.5 hours.

LT session of 3 x 2800m (2 laps of KS XC course) with 3 mins recovery: 9.54, 10.05 and 10.03. Pretty pleased with times and efforts - good to get back out doing this and need it regularly over the winter to build aerobic strength/endurance.

Orienteering race 37:01 [5] ** 7.1 km (5:13 / km) +100m 4:52 / km
spiked:16/19c shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 265 Blue

Blue course at Wimpole Hall which was quiet useful training for next weekend - rough open grass, some contours & compass work. Fine in the open but lost at least 2 mins in the 3 forest controls - weak map reading/attack point for 11, offline going direct to 12 (& having to cross the fairly wide & deep stream) and weak line/no compass to 15. Still it was a decent enough blowout.

Wednesday Sep 9, 2015 #

7 AM

Cycling 1:00:55 [3] 27.6 km (2:12 / km)
slept:7.8

To school and used by snuggly shoe wraps for the first time - temp was 12c but thought it was worth a test. Lovely. A bit chilly out and rode it reasonably strongly.
5 PM

Cycling 1:01:55 [3] 27.7 km (2:14 / km)

Home from work - a disappointing ride. A bit breezy but I just felt cooked and really tired. I guess 4 rides in 48 hours took their toll.

Tuesday Sep 8, 2015 #

11 AM

Cycling 1:00:30 [3] 27.8 km (2:11 / km)

An eventful morning - left home at 6.40, onto the A14, ignored the warning signs of 'Accident beyond J35' (they're often wrong) and ground to standstill 1 mile later. Eventually got off road at 9.15 (closed J35) into seriously congested Cambridge bound traffic, headed home to work then cycle in at 11.30. Had pack so slightly slower.
5 PM

Cycling 56:50 [3] 27.7 km (2:03 / km)

Home from work trying to maintain high tempo - generally okay but slower than expected. Cooler?? Also ended up in ditch thanks to driver in Fen Ditton congestion doing a sudden 3 point turn.

Monday Sep 7, 2015 #

3 PM

Off-road running 45:25 [3] 10.0 km (4:33 / km)
shoes: Asics GT2170 Orange

Nice and easy around the Rec and then laps of the fields. Legs sore but this helped.

Sunday Sep 6, 2015 #

1 PM

Walking 50:00 [1] 5.5 km (9:05 / km)

To Halfords/ASDA and back - to ease legs out.

10 AM

Off-road running warm up/down 26:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:12 / km)
shoes: Brooks ST 5 Racers

Before and after the Lincoln race...

Orienteering race 32:25 [5] 5.6 km (5:47 / km)
shoes: Brooks ST 5 Racers

City race - North Lincoln: pleasing run with only one error (loop around a small building in the garage area - 8 seconds?). Hamstring was a little tight but managed to run strongly. Final 4 controls demanded sprint race running/map-reading (campus of BGU). Beat Dave Peel by 1'20 which was encouraging given everything.

Friday Sep 4, 2015 #

7 AM

Running 27:35 [3] 6.0 km (4:36 / km)
shoes: Asics GT1000

At last - easy trot around Histon/Imp. Hammy was tight so took it easy. Hoping to run tomorrow.
