Trail run 5:29 [2] 0.72 km (7:39 / km) +11m 7:07 / km
To the clubhouse with Sam. Lovely day, legs are pain free.
Trail run 12:32 [2] 2.18 km (5:45 / km) +30m 5:23 / km
Warming up on the forest loop just south of the clubhouse. Legs are also completely empty. Just barren husks that used to have muscles and energy but today they just felt wrung out. The warmup felt like a workout.
Trail run (Intervals) 1:04:56 11.48 km (5:39 / km) +96m 5:26 / km
So the plan was 5 sets of (3mins, 2, 1) with 1 minute between intervals and 2 minutes between sets.
I ran off the very tail end of the men's group tonight, doing my best to coax some speed out of the legs. Felt good, just increda-slow. Luckily the club does intervals such that after each piece the group reforms before setting out on the next one.
After 3 sets everyone quit except for Olle, Micke, Oskar and me, and we gamely continued on. I was proud of our little group, and Micke even had enough energy to continue the last 1 minute interval until the top of the next hill.
I figure intervals with tired legs will build mental toughness.
Ran home, pallaed två äpplen, and then had a fantastic dinner with the Blodstensvägen orienteering group. Sam made risotto, Elisa made apple bread and Lisa and Sebastian made kladdkaka. I made it disappear :)
