In the morning mist, some last minute preparations and status check before tryouts for Team Coop Elite at Holmenkollstafetten. 4:13, 4:04, 3:48, 3:22 per km for the reps. Very hard work on the last one. Not far off all out! Can maybe squeeze down towards 3:10, but think a spot on the team will be hard to come by in this shape.

Getting back to a more structured approach for strength training again. Whipped out the old notebook to log everything! Did squats (regular), pullups, incline bench chest press, standing row, shoulder press, back raises and declined bench situps. Thorough about breaks and trying to keep the weights honest. Will probably be DOMS-y for a couple of days! Logged the session on the watch, with heart rate and all, but I think the watch must be on its last legs, because this is the third workout that's simply disappeared after saving it.

Messy "race". Agreed on a quiet zone until the last 8 kilometres. Went out too hard on the first few hills trying to keep up with second place, but blew up and dropped to fourth. Room to improve with skis, let's say. Best workout of the year though! HR monitor didn't connect until after the break, so only HR data for the last hour and 10 minutes or so. 10 minutes in zone 5 must be highest in years. GREAT workout!

Back to it, and feeling good. Had to stop for a toilet break after three reps. But felt good this morning, and decided to bump the volume of the workout back to the "standard" 30 minutes instead of the 24 minutes I've stuck to for a couple of months. Feeling a little bit of late fatigue, but generally very controlled. Think I might alternate between 24 to 30 minutes going forward, based on how I'm feeling on the day.

Round and round on a small loop definitely doesn't capture the things I like the most about cross country skiing. But three weeks until I meet the boys for a weekend of skiing and other fun on the mountain, so I need to get in a few sessions to prepare. And this does the trick! 95% poling. Arms holding up better than expected, but starting to lose power in the poling from the seventh lap.

Came down with a debilitating headache yesterday afternoon, so looked bad there for a while. Got 12 hours of sleep, and felt fine again this morning. After some deliberating, I think it must be a tension reaction to some of the strength exercises I do in the work gym on Monday mornings, as this it's been happening consistently on Mondays for a while. The body is a mystery! Either way, all good today, and got in this session. Controlled and according to plan.

After a long morning of coaching duties at a football cup for seven year olds. Felt fine at the start, and better throughout! It's been a long time since I've seen these kinds of HR numbers at this pace. Very much controlled throughout. January's a wrap, and it was probably my best month of training August 2023. If I can maintain consistency and keep the load under control, fitness should come with spring.

Amazingly feeling alright again after being down in the dumps yesterday. Probably not reasonable to expect it to last, given that 50% of the household is out sick. Got this one done at least. Nice and controlled. Another 24 minutes of sub threshold in the bank, bringing the weekly total up to 48 minutes so far.

Back to it after the testing yesterday. Should be able to bring down my weight a fair bit, and keep my oxygen uptake at least level, which will see my Vo2 max number bumped a bit. Maybe 64 is within reach over the next 13 weeks? Will be tough!

At work through some program they're sponsoring for us. Very nice initiative! Test was hard. Felt like I couldn't really push to the max with the mask and the incline (5%) on the tread. But I probably just about peaked my oxygen update. Absolute uptake 4.2L, weight adjusted at today's 69kg that comes out to a relative VO2 max of 61. Not much improvement since previous test back in 2017, when I had an absolute uptake of 4.1L. Had just started running back then. On the other hand, I am a decade older now!

Less than ideal lead up to the workout. Took inspiration from Carrick's boys steamrolling the noisy neighbours, though, and felt alright as I got into it. First half very controlled. Increased the intensity slightly through the back half. Another 24 minutes of Sub Threshold, which brings the week total up to 1h 12min.

Felt like hard work! But the right song can make all the difference. Last two reps powered by Slurring The Rhythms by Against Me! and Bones by The Killers. Easing into three weekly sessions by doing two with just a day between. Big difference from two rest days between sessions. Can see why I eventually cooked myself in summer with a few months of three sesssions per week. 24 minutes of Sub Threshold.

Ooof, that was hard work. But with some snow at last, beautiful (if cold with -17°C) and no meetings this afternoon, I had to take on the chance and finally get out. Tracks over "Langen" were prepared yesterday, and all the snow from last night were on top. Rough and very, very slow, but good to get out.
