Training and Orienteering
By Tony | November 21, 2007
The last couple of weeks I have been putting in some miles but not enough according to my schedule. Saying that as I believe the second half to be all top two inch (brain induced will power) I reckon i’m more than on track at the moment.
I’m still Orienteering on Wednesdays and have actually started improving that much that i’m only 10 mins off my Nemesis who has been doing this since he left the womb :O)
So the will to continue Orienteering once I have beaten the press ganger may not be there.
Apart from that two weeks ago I did a 6 mile kit march carrying 15kg which was done in 1 and a half hours very very comfortably. Followed the next day by a long swim and a hard gym work out.
This last week has seen me able to train with my Thames Meander Partner for the first time. On Monday I ran alone for 5 miles, Tuesday was a working day but Wednesday and Thursday saw us out at night running 8 miles then 7 miles. It was great to get out there and run together.
We have both decided now (or for now) to run 5 miles, tab 5 miles, checkpoint, kit change then off again.. This in theory will make us well under time and on for a good finish. Friday, Saturday and Sunday saw rest days due to travel and Monday saw a return to the running alone with a 5 miler at pace to blow out the cobwebs…
Overall I know in myself my stamina is very good and things at this moment in time are going nearly to plan. After a couple more run/tabs this week we both intend on doing 20 miles on the tow path this week end so if anyone is about look out for us.
