MONDAY: 5.75k completed on treadmill at home, 32 minutes, mostly incline 1, but pushed it up to 2 and 3 for last few minutes followed by a 5 min incline powerwalk.
TUESDAY: Gym. 5k run on treadmill there, level one setting where only 2.5 mins are on incline of 2, a bit over 28 mins to puff out! Then 5 min cooldown, leg press 3 sets of 12-15 at 73kg, Shoulder press, 3 sets 12 at 23kg, had to take a break after 8 on final set before could complete it.
WEDNESDAY: 1k freestyle time trial at Gore Pool, (40 laps of 25 metres). 26.14 was the time. Then did 4 back stroke laps, 4 with the pull buoy between legs focussing on stroking, then 4 with the kickboard, focussing on kicking!
THURSDAY: Day off, buggered after work, (quite active some days!)
FRIDAY: Gymmed it again, did same 5k workout run as Tuesday but was able to go a bit faster, - yay, but went as hard as poss again! Managed to bring the (treadmill) 5k level 1 program home in a tad under 27 minutes! More leg press, shoulders and abs! Busy gym that evening!
SATURDAY: Outdoor 6.25k run in morning. A bit buggered. Had wine night before. First 5k in just under 30 mins but slowed down for the remaining 1.25k home.
SUNDAY: Day off, had big night at a ball on Saturday night!
OK, not exactly half ironman training at all, but still not a bad effort at all from recent efforts!
On Sunday I visited my sister and young nephew, he is only 2 and has a cold/cough! My sister made a nice platter of crackers, salmon, cut tomatoes, dips, cheese and young nephew likes to cough on them and make up crackers for me and I participated but felt a bit anxious! Slightly tickly, dry sort of throat the last 2 days, I luckily haven't succumbed at all till now this year so hopefully this doesn't come to anything much at all!
Really cold here at the moment, infact snow lying about today! Icy at nights! Indoor training it is for sure! No training to report this week but need to train 5 days straight, Wed-Sun unless throat thing comes to something more major! Loving reading the inspirational training blogs, or listening to great podcasts from super athletes!
