Beginning of a new training year....

3 November 2009

Well its official training for IMCH 2010 started today!

I received my first training program block from Mike (at thetrilife.com) and have started it properly today.

Today was my first proper session back in the pool for a while (I have been doing a little here and there but nothing of importance) so it was a shock to the system to do the following session:


WU: 2 x 200 easy
Drills 2 x 200 (choice)
1 x 100 building: Length 1 @ 75%, 2 @ 80%, 3 @ 85%, 4 @ 90%
(Maintain your stroke count).

MS: 1 x 400, 2mins rest and 25-50 easy swim in b/t ,1 x 50
@ fastest sustainable pace.


200 cool down

TOTAL 1550m

I managed the 400m in 5:56:13 and the 50m in 35s - Depressingly slow after my season high of 5:35 in training and and my last timed 400m (in a race) at Highworth of 5:46:07 - my have had too many pies and glasses of wine in the month off! Also it was HARD after 100m the muscles were burning and by 300m I felt like I was swimming in treacle....remind me why did I take time off training again....oh yes to recover and to have a life!

Later
I.
