Week 1: 04/01/10 - 10/01/10
My first session of 2010 was at 8am Monday morning and I have got to say it was a real shock to the system. The intake of excess food, drink and chocolate over the Christmas period made the session challenging but the -2 degrees temperature just about topped it off. The session consisted of 8x800 meter runs with a 90 second jog as a rest period.
Tuesday session was in the gym and to be honest I was appreciating the fact that it was indoors. I did 3x progressive Kettle bell circuits and then an upper body back session.
Wednesday morning I did 3x15 reps of Step ups, Split squats and calf jumps. This followed by 2x10 mins at threshold pace (around 5k pace) on the treadmill, NOT for the faint hearted. I tried to convince myself this was because it was my first run in new shoes but I don’t think that was the case!!
Thursdays rest day came along and it was very much appreciated.
Friday I was back in the gym for another 2x Kettle bell circuits and upper body chest session. Saturday’s are usually when I do my long runs with my running partner who is doing the marathon with me but due to poor weather conditions (it was snowing, we wasn’t being weak minded) we had to do an interval session in the gym on a treadmill.
Sunday, as it should be, is a day of rest and when I get to eat the odd chocolate biscuit or such things that I don’t eat during the week. I have got to say that I felt good fitness wise prior to Christmas but this first week back was a real slog. Once the snow clears off the roads though we need to get out there and get some serious mileage under our belts but unfortunately the weather conditions are one part of my training I cant control. Over and out until next week……..
