Compass sport cup race. Felt tight from yesterdays session but pleased to be out. Psyched up for the race by listening to MC Hammers "can't touch this" on the radio - 3 times.

Struggled to enjoy the orienteering race, but it was good to have a map in my hand again. Messed up one control really badly (or really well?). No where near GG - time to get my finger out.

Felt guilty after avoiding Ian's sessions during the week so went out to the Saturday session in penance.

10 minute effort with a 2.30 recovery then 8 minutes. Felt ok, but tired and Almand got the better of me by the end. Good session.

Talking to Dave from Hallamshire about new programme. He looked at my squats etc and I was doing ok. Weights felt tougher than when I have been doing them at S10 - maybe stiffness from last night but I suspect that the bar I am using at S10 is not 20kg - bugger I am obviously not as strong as I thought!

Spoke briefly to the new sports psyc that I will be working with Ian Maynard. This will be exciting because he has worked with a lot of olympic medallists in the past.

C • cars to SHIs 1

Running down and to Hallamshire.

Run and back to Hallamshire then 1:4 session (Mike and I sneaked out before could get roped into a farlek session). Hill still felt tough on ascent, but the cruise downhill was a lot easier than last week. This will be really tough in the dark.

Fun and games at S10 - spotted some other runners (easy to spot because they also looked puny and were lifting smallish weights) from the Uni.

30 minute, toning and sculpting my buttocks and upper thighs on the glide thingy machine.

Fastish run from work at lunchtime. Was hoping to get to intervals but just a bit too busy.
