I’ll get straight to the point, it was a brilliant weeks training this week! The general target of training volume I set myself a couple of weeks back was achieved this week, and all before the weekend! I felt a bit tired Friday night though, which meant I lay on the sofa instead of going out, but hopefully it won’t take me too long to adapt to doing so much training.
Monday – 10k push. Was very slow because I got stuck in a subway in the middle of Lichfield…eventually found a way out. Good push though.
Tuesday – Gym session. Concentrated on chest and shoulders.
Wednesday - Went to basketball in the evening…I was terrible but I’ll blame my injured thumb for that.
Thursday - 8k push in around 42 mins. Also went to the gym in the evening and concentrated on back.
Friday – Went out to do a 12k push but struggled. Not sure if tubs were slightly flat or I was just off form but I felt really heavy and slow. Only managed 6k before calling it a day and falling asleep on the sofa.
Saturday – Day off
Sunday – Basketball. Hopefully I’ll be better today…
With time switching back to GMT its going to be darker in the evenings, so I bought myself some bike lights to go on the racing chair and a high visibility training top to make sure people can see me when I’m on the roads. I can’t always guarantee that I’ll be training during the day so I could end up training in poor light.
Next week should be more of the same with 3-4 pushes and two gym sessions, plus basketball. I’m hoping to go up to Kirby to train with Mickey on the Friday so that will be cool. Apparently there is some new mondo track which is meant to be fast!
I’m also about to start a cycle of creatine to help my training. Obviously I’ll let you all know what sort of benefits I get from it.
So until next week,
Peace.
