Standard weekly training is six morning water sessions, two ergs, two circuits/weights sessions and a 90' bike ride. I haven't updated the blog for a while, so here are some highlights:
17/9 - First day of trials, I was in the scull for this outing.
21/9 - 3x6k, 3'r, 24:51.3, HR 156, 24:54.3, HR 162, 24:54.3, HR163.
22/9 - First morning double outing, both in the VIII.
25/9 - Ran from Downing BH to lock and back in 42:00 as part of circuits.
28/9 - 5k test, 18:43.9. Felt really bad - just blew up after a few hundred metres.
1/10 - 3x6k, @18 (2:02.9, HR 164), @20 (2:01.4, HR 172) and @22 (1:57.3, HR 174+).
3/10 - Only got to Cantabs in 1x outing, just felt like I had no control. 2k test was 7:00.7 which gave me last place (1:45.6, 1:46.2, 1:46.3, 1:42.6).
6/10 - 8+ outing, dietician talk, 3x25', 5' @ 18,20,22,20,18. 2:00.4, HR 170, 2:00.5, HR177, 2:00.2, HR178. That was 2:02 for R18, 2:00 for R20 and 1:58 for R22 (sliders).
8/10 - Did 2k test again - 6:54.4 (1:44.0, 1:44.3, 1:44.3, 1:41.8). PB, which took me up 6 places.
10/10 - 8+ outing, then subbed into M1, then 3x25, 5' @16,18,20,18,16. 2:01, 2:04, 2:06 - clearly didn't have enough lunch.
15/10 - 2x10k on linked sliders. R18, 40:49.7, HR 164 and 40:42.4, HR 167.
21/10 - Extra weights session in King's to make up for my weakness.
22/10 - 3x6k, 5'r @20, 23:22.8 (1:56.9), 23:22.8 (1:56.9) and 23:21.9 (1:56.8) with HRs 174, 180+ and 180+.
24/10 - Circuits session with uni boxing club as a change from the bike ride.
Next 2k test is at the start of November, so hopefully I can work hard over the next 10 days or so to get as strong and fit as possible. I'm looking forward to seeing what others have been doing...
