Core Conditioning 15:00 [3]
Friday Jul 29, 2016 #
Orienteering race 1:01:28 [5] 6.9 km (8:54 / km) +270m 7:27 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
not a middle distance, by a long stretch, suspected as much from the amount of climb, good stuff in the beech wood, if slippy, but got fed up with it after that, glad I gave it something though because today's score helped me pip Jason Howell for 3rd

Orienteering race 54:29 [5] 7.92 km (6:53 / km) +110m 6:26 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
treated this with respect, spiked every control but for #10 where I overshot on the short stuff, had plenty of running left (which means I didn't work hard enough)
3rd, 8mins (!) behind Simon Hunter, 2 behind Richard Barrett

Note
(rest day)
Core Conditioning 25:00 [0]
(feared I'd be unable to place weight on left knee, but the bruise wasn't located where the pressure fell)
Tuesday Jul 26, 2016 #
Orienteering race 1:16:55 [5] 3.39 km (22:41 / km) +380m 14:32 / km
shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340
probably should have retired after a 5mins miss at #2 and bang on the knee at #3, slipping all over the place over the next couple of controls, tough terrain, only started to enjoy it (?) after the road crossing, and more so once I caught Dai Bedwell and my minute man at the start of the long leg, a waste of energy really

Orienteering race 35:53 [5] 5.6 km (6:24 / km) +60m 6:05 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
pretty tidy run but it wasn't as challenging as it should have been, faded after the 20min mark, although I finished strong (as is customary)
8th (M45), 6mins behind Bill, but 49s ahead of Frostbite (yey!)

Orienteering race 58:06 [5] **** 8.54 km (6:48 / km) +150m 6:15 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
resorted to the magnifier rather than glasses because of the rain but still couldn't pull enough information off the map, took some time getting to grips with terrain/map, the vegetation in particular, also persistently overestimated how far I had travelled, expecting the control site to appear sooner, odd; physically I was in good form, although I started to feel sick around the turn
#1 hesitant, then overshot [50]
#4 dithered over which paths to follow [20]
#7 started looking far too early [150]
#8 hesitant, thinking it would be closer [20]
#9 didn't need to climb the ridge [20]
#11 attacked to earlier, underestimated the size of the hill beyond [30]
#15 didn't climb directly enough [20]
10th (M45), 9mins behind Bill, same behind Clive on M50

didn't fancy it, but needed one more run out before Croeso, didn't feel great, warm and humid (24°)

Tuesday Jul 19, 2016 #
running 55:24 [3] 10.27 km (5:24 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
well, that's a bit better, set off at a decent pace to test myself out, managed okay, not strong, fell over, grateful for the southerly breeze over the last couple of km, finished at sunset, it was 27.8° when I set out at half past eight
invested in some allergy medecines, we'll see what effect they have, could feel a touch of phlegm on the chest and throat while I ran

Orienteering 57:30 [4] 6.67 km (8:37 / km) +100m 8:01 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
planned a course across Clod Hall Moor from the south east corner, map printed in greyscale so I really had to rely on compass and distance work, it was hot and grass was high, the marshes wet, and it was a real struggle, but ...
something's not right, from about a third of the way around (2.5km) had to stop at each control, shortness of breath, toward the end chest got tight, yet I feel fine the rest of the time

running (terrain) 52:18 [3] 8.83 km (5:55 / km) +150m 5:28 / km
shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340
intended to do a terrain run for 45mins or so but felt so rough setting out decided to make it more of a fartlek session, mixing approximately 7mins on terrain with 7mins easy on trods and trails, had to stop at the end of the terrain sessions
Monday Jul 11, 2016 #
running 1:14:50 [2] 10.93 km (6:51 / km) +260m 6:07 / km

laboured for most of this one, feeling yesterday's run in the legs

running 1:05:25 [3] 12.64 km (5:11 / km) +240m 4:44 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Hitogami 2
was planning a terrain run on Stanton or Birchen Edge, but dad took the car so I just went out onto the back roads, still it means I completed 50km for the week

slept:5.0 shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 190

struggled after the turn for home, ran the climb from White Edge House but had to rest, then slow along the Edge, tight chest, it was warm, that's one thing

sore upper left quad, probably would have run it off, but decided to postpone run until tomorrow
