2 PM

Off-road running warm up/down 8:50 [2] 1.6 km (5:31 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 265 Blue

From car park to the end of the open area and back...

Orienteering 50:07 [3] 5.6 km (8:57 / km) +140m 7:57 / km
shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 265 Blue

On way back from Birmingham to home so called into Twywell Hills & Dales and did the Black course from a couple of years ago (which I didn't run). Not exactly smooth and certainly took it easy as legs were tired from yesterday; knee got sore on the hills. However, was good training - especially in the forested bit. Thorns were pretty virulent and I did my best to avoid them which meant taking occasionally circuitous routes.

Sprint-O intervals (20 x 45 secs with 15 secs recovery) around the Aston campus and neighbouring streets (using the underpasses)... focused on variety of terrain, tight turns and steps! Tough but good to have done.
