I was pleased to fit my conditioning session in, although I have modified the content to include tabata intervals on the turbo. This is serious pain - hence I like it! With no rest, I do 20 rep squats followed by tabata intervals for 3 mins, followed by 5 mins fast feet on the treadmill. These 3 exercises are hard............. very hard! I finish the routine with press ups, pull downs and ab/core work. Then I repeat it all again!
I didn't get much swimming done whilst away. The pool was so tiny that I barely had the chance to do very simple balance drills. I plan to catch up on some swim sessions next week.
Today I went out with the local cycle club again. I torture myself and go out with the fast group (there are 3 groups). For the 3rd week we completed 70 miles and it was full on from the very start. I am now wasted......... very tired indeed! We averaged over 23mph for the first half and over 19mph into a mean wind on the return. This training will make me very fit or very ill! My intention is to train all winter with the club - something different that I have not done previously. The pic is me feeling very tired after the ride.
Still, no pain, no gain. Or is it train don't strain?
