Oh I do love it when Chris Smith coaches us. Yesterday was relatively mild compared to previous efforts from him, but that quote amused me. Anyway, training this week has been as follows:
23/10 - 2*6k @18 (4'r). 24:28.6 and 24:26.5, done early morning as there was no outing. Decent length core/stretching session afterwards.
24/10 - 4+ outing, gym induction at King's.
25/10 - 8+ outing over Baitsbite lock to Bottisham lock. Included 3 20 stroke pieces and 1 10 stroke piece (@30) on the way back. I love outings like this.
26/10 - 4+ outing, crap due to my lack of sleep. As a result I went down to the erg room and did my 10k @ 20 - 39:04.2. First 5k was in 19:22 (better than Ivan's free rate 5k I believe), second 5k hampered by a stitch in the last 1500m or so.
27/10 - Weights session. A lightweight should be able to do 30 chinups at the end of a weights session. I managed 6. Hmmm.
28/10 - 4+ outing, core hurt like hell after Mr Smith concentrated on my lack of any separation whatsoever. Chasing pieces against Clare coxless four. First one we stayed on station after a crab from Pete, the second we took 1 1/2 lengths out of them in 300m or so. I live for this!
29/10 - 17k @17 to concentrate on separation issues. My quads really hurt (I was actually connecting with the legs!), as did my hamstrings which suggests I was doing something right. I did it on the old machine, as Ben and Joey were down there. 1h11:40.3 (That's 2:06.4 splits if you are interested).
Uni IVs this week. Let's do it.
