Training Log Archive: mintore

Time for some new training goals. Last year's commitment was 45 min/day and it was hard to do but was 99% completed (<3 hrs under 295 h but 3 h less than my peak in 2014). Upon checking my math, it appears that 295 hrs = 48.5 min/day so woot!

Same general scheme and goals with the addition of cycling and stretching as stand-alone goals plus figuring orienteering distance separately and combined with running/hiking/jogging. Some of the goals seem counterproductive like running time vs distance but trying to keep some lower intensity exercise in the mix should keep me less injured more of the time.

296 hr total time
1000 controls
450 km of orienteering/90 h (>48 races)
880 miles of running/jogging/hiking (600 + orienteering)
New: 400 miles cycling
New: 30.5 h stretching

Rentchler/Timberhill New Year's O

Meet 1, course 1

There were few places where time was lost battling more honeysuckle than I should have been battling. Some of the legs had many reasonable options (C4). My ankle was more resilient than I thought it was going to be. Given the effort expended on some of the climbs, I am working on a hill running strategy. Great to enter the new year with friends, forest and food.

Seem to be having posterior tibialis tendon issues. Didn't realize this until a couple of weeks after this date, but this is probably the start of it.

Another goal retired. The patchy training over the past few weeks sure was felt on this run. Cloudy at the start, misty in the middle and British sun (drizzle) for the remainder. Rained hard 10 minutes after getting back into the house.
