No running today, in (hopefully not vain) attempt to ensure my legs are fresh for lots of running on Sunday.

Friday Oct 29, 2010 #

8 PM

Road Running intervals (Grid) 1:15:00 [3]
shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

Shorter than planned, as rainy, plus my shins were hurting badly - quite difficult to run at all, at the end. Three more postcodes done, all in NW London.

Smashed into a roadworks sign that had been leant on its side, in a dark bit of the pavement, so I now have a couple of thin horiztonal bruises across my legs, that are swelling up. They are going to look fun tomorrow!

Can't believe I got the NW3 speed record - must have been a very uncompetitive day for everyone else there!

shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

Again, a very late out-and-back to get the speed points for the day. However, have subsequently given up on this postcode, as well behind two others who are battling for the lead.

Very slow jogging with Pete (I was still feeling ill, he's tapering for the OMM) in SE11 and SE5. About half the time was spent dialing or queuing, hence the exceptionally slow time.

9 AM

Cycle Commuting 27:07 [2] 8.4 km (3:14 / km)

Lungs hurting after yesterday's cold-air running. Tried to keep speed down and breathe through nose, but couldn't resist shooting across Mount Pleasant.

Sunday Oct 24, 2010 #

4 PM

Road Running tempo (Grid) 8:00 [5] 1.7 km (4:42 / km)
shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

Frantic run (following frantic 5km cycle) from Essex Road to City Road. Just beat a guy from TAF and won a free pair of Nike's!

shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

5x2 E9 flywire shuttle. Running with two competitors, also had Evan to help me for the first 2x2. Regained lead, about to lose it, but will regain it later this week!

9 AM

Trail Running race (parkrun) 20:14 [4] 5.0 km (4:03 / km)
slept:5.0 shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

Wet underfoot after a lot of overnight rain, but a pleasant day. Didn't push too hard because I had had little sleep!
12 PM

Trail Running intervals (Grid) 1:30:00 [3] 12.5 km (7:12 / km)
shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

13x (+a 14th jog/walking to walk down) the Grid leg between near home and Mabley Green. Rained quite hard for one of the legs going across the green. Two minute pause between each leg. My times got slower and slower - 4:29 was the best, dropped to 4:48 at the end. Each leg was 960m and involved a short flight of steps half way through, around half was on grass and half on tarmac. A good session, lots of points scored.
6 PM

Estimated time. City Runners run from Bermondsey. Started late, a few minutes after the fast group, so headed across London Bridge and met the group on the other side, stayed with them over to Waterloo Bridge and back along Southwark Bridge Road and St Thomas Street back to the start. Very busy with pedestrians across Waterloo Bridge. Dry, but a few puddles on the ground after the afternoon rain.

slept:5.5 shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

Hackney Marshes parkrun. Chilly, but a lovely sunny morning.A bit sleep deprived (only got out of bed 20 minutes before the race start!) so was going to take it easy, but got into a good pace about half-way around, then overtook a couple of people near the end to set up a ~4:00 final kilometre.

Very busy traffic indeed on Euston Road.
7 PM

Score Orienteering 58:40 [4] ** 11.5 km (5:06 / km)
shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

Around Wandsworth. The course had few controls, which meant some long control-less legs, allowing a good speed to be got up - but also meant I was pretty warm when I finished (even though I had some time to spare!)

Finished 5th. Pleased with my run, would have struggled to have got many more points because of the course layout, although I did spend a few minutes paused, having misread some control clues...!
11 PM

Cycling (To/from Pub) 1:11:28 [3] 26.34 km (2:43 / km)

To Wandsworth (10km in 30 min, very heavy traffic in places), then later home (16.3km in 41 min).

Trail Running race (parkrun) 19:54 [4] 5.0 km (3:59 / km)
shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

Bromley parkrun. A two-and-a-half-lapper. Course quite muddy in places, but very flat. Finished 4th out of a field of 86. :-)
11 AM

Walking (Go Ape!) 3:15:00 [0] 1.1 km (2:57:16 / km) +60m 2:19:17 / km

Go Ape! at Bedgebury Forest. Much scarier than I remember in Bracknell a few years ago, great fun and/but truly terrifying in places. Impressive zip lines at this one.
4 PM

Cycling (Singletrack) 1:10:00 [4] ***** 14.0 km (5:00 / km) +150m 4:45 / km
shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

Most of the Red singletrack at Bedgebury forest, on hired MTBs. Good fun, a bit wet and muddy in places. Charged through the "quarry" puddle screaming, which made getting covered in muddy water less painful.

We got a bit lost at the end (the map is not very good) so actually ended up going back through the start and covering more distance than the 13km singletrack route, even though we were trying to cut off the last part to get the bikes back in time.
