Training Log Archive: mgb

Went out for some orienteering. My dad was setting courses with another club member for a event that was cancelled. Good oppurtinity for some training though, since in theory all the controls had been marked with a small paper tag (they don't use streamers in this country). I went out on the longest one of them (this was for a middle distance event). Spent some extra time out there trying to find the little tags. The biggest time lost:

11: Really shallow reentrent.Followed the wrong contour first, but when I doubled back, I must have gone right by the control point. Saw the little tag the second time though.
16: About 10 diffirent boulders lined up, and trying to find the tag between two of them, but there was no tag to be found.

Fairly slow moving terrain. The marshes were really wet, and most of the area is covered by thick moss over a layer of boulders.

Ran back to where my mom and dad were helping my wife finding her way around an orienteering course.

Walking back to the car doing a map hike.

Kransmossen Bana 1 - Splits

An easier run with my brother to recover from the long run yesterday.

Sit-ups, Plank, Push-ups

Went for my long run. Distances not as I remembered them growing up. I always remembered them being longer and the hills beeing steeper as well. Funny how reality changes as you age.

Ran with my brother and my dad just as it was starting to get light out. Slow in the beginning to keep pace with them but split off later on.

I have run in these woods a lot a long time ago, but I brought a map anyway. The map was probably one of the worst that I have used. So many changes and new trails not on the map.

There is an orienteering course on the map too, but not part of the run today.

There is no CSU interval training today, but I did not want to take a total break from doing intervals, so I went to Danehy Park. I haven't done intervals there before, and I have to say it is a very nice track. I did 4x400 meters:

# split pace
1 1:25.3 5:28
2 1:30.2 5:47
3 1:28.6 5:54
4 1:30.3 6:01

I am pretty happy with the times based on the level of fatigue this week. There were also wind gusts, and the slowest times were when I had head winds. Suprised that it made such a difference.

Walked 200 m between each interval.

Sit-ups, Plank, Push-ups and Dips

Feeling better than yesterday but still a little bit sluggish.
