Training Log Archive: Bash

Because I totally ignored my 2007 New Year's training resolutions, I'm going to give myself a quarterly report card this year. I was sick for about 10 days in January, which might mess things up a bit, but here goes...

1) Strength training - min. 1 hr/week. Leg, core, upper body.
*** 11.25 hrs for 13 weeks. Not bad, given the sick time.
2) Improve training quality, including speed work.
*** Could do more of this, but am making progress. Leanimal and I have started hill intervals, and I've been doing some speed intervals on treadmill and bike trainer.
3) Improve technical orienteering skills.
*** I've done a lot of orienteering this winter, but not many races. I did some coaching, which is a good way to improve. Tomorrow I'm off to the Flying Pig, which will be my first major traditional orienteering competition since the 2006 North Am Champs.
4) 500 hrs total annual training
*** A little behind on this - down to 474 hrs for the past 12 months, largely because of the reduced number of adventure racing hrs. My sick time in January didn't help either. I need to get out for some long runs and bike rides when the snow melts.
5) Get weight down to target - and stay there.
*** I've lost about half the weight that I was trying to lose. Need to work harder to get rid of the rest of it.
6) Continue to schedule training at specific times - C3, arranging to meet other people, etc. This is the most reliable way to ensure that I get out on busy days.
*** This is going pretty well, and I'm always looking for new ideas here.
