Training Log Archive: Lizzie

From whakapapa to turoa with Piret, Magnus R1 and R3. Was pretty damn warm despite the fact it was misty and rainy! At a comfortable pace with lots of stops to take photos (on fb). decided to run the last k up the road, seemed like a good idea at the time, not so much about 3mins later!
managed to get pretty burnt even though we didnt see the sun til the road at the end. not cool.

stretching in front of the tv

around the tracks.

home late. tossed up doing hill sprints in khandallah park but chickened out in the end cos i was too hungry! so did exercises instead incl situps, pressups, lunges, 1leg squats and calf raises. tricep dips and steps. (12mins)

then physio exercises and stretching

my foot is still a bit sore...

wilton bush to skyline along and back.
decided to time the uphill pushes. 3.5mins to flax clearing, followed straight up by 6.5mins up to the main 4wd track. 2mins rest then 3mins to skyline. and 1.5mins from gate to the saddle. felt really weird on the way down, running style did not feel right at all. got quite a sore right outside calf now.

C • Calibrate? Whats that? and ... 1

just the basics

controls out controls in for karori

recovery round lower tracks of wilton bush

Up Kapakapanui in the Tararuas with Magnus and Laura. Actually got some views on the top as opposed to last year.
some wicked track, magnus and I are keen to return and push harder as reckon we can take a good 20mins off our time.
Not sure laura would have come if we'd told her the first 1.20 was straight up hill :) good strength training anyhow.
Again though, left foot is quite sore today. ankle felt fine though, did not feel it tweak once. (well maybe once)

On the way down magnus and I came up with new lyrics for the Spice Girls. (in our defence we were dehydrated?)
"I'll tell you what I want what i really really want,
So tell me what you want what you really really want,
I wanna huh (x4)
I really really really wanna kapanuinui huh"
"If you wanna be my runner, you gotta run with my friends,
walking takes forever but running never ends"
"If you wanna be my runner, you have got to give
taking is too easy, potluck's the way we live"

guess what i had in my head the rest of the run...
