23/01/12 - Rest Day 24/01/12 - Rest Day 25/01/12 - Gym Spinning Since my son has been born, my evening now belong to him (for the time being) so my evening training is out the window, so I've decided to join the gym at my work so when I have a spare hour I can disappear and train in my lunch break. I decided to purchase some training audio and where else to go than Audiofuel, and Chrissie Wellington new audio triathlon training release. I can only recommend it, I've used it for both my spin sessions this week and its pushed me like never before in a bike training session. I only did the 40 minute pyramid but it was intense enough for me just getting back in my training after the long absence. The Pyramid was: Warm Up 1 min HARD 1 min RECOVERY 2 min HARD 1 min RECOVERY 3 min HARD 1 min RECOVERY 4 min HARD 1 min RECOVERY 5 min HARD 1 min RECOVERY 4 min HARD 1 min RECOVERY 3 min HARD 1 min RECOVERY 2 min HARD 1 min RECOVERY 1 min HARD Warm Down Se...

16/01/12 - Core Workout Simple and easy core workout today, keep it quick and enough to build up a sweat. Its the first core session back and I really enjoyed it. I knew I had to kick start my core muscles for the first session back and I definitely could feel them the following days. Session Details 2 Reps 2 x 25 standard sit up 2 x 15 sec plank 2 x 15 hip raises 2 x 20 reverse sit up 2 x 30 knee raise sit up 17/01/12 - Cold Sea Front Run It was an ideal for running, no rain, no wind, just a chill in the air, but that soon went after the first mile. I am keen to get the mileage back in my legs, so this run was ideal, no rush just a simple run. It was a flat out and back run, I turned on the 30 minute mark and came back to the car. I really enjoyed this session, and I know its building back my base layer stamina which is only a good thing for me going forward. The pavement was all mine, like a ghost town but that was great as it helped me complete an average mile pa...

Although it was a slow session it was great to get back out and strech the legs, air in my lung and feel the cold air on my face. I decided to complete an off road run, well its half and half, its 2.5 miles to the woods and then you have a choice of a short forest lap or a long lap, on this occasion I decided to do the smaller loop. I haven't done this loop before but the map at the woods entrance assured me it was there, and on this lap I could get to see the waterfall that I always could hear but never see on the long route. I started off relatively quick on the first mile, mainly because it is down hill, but I lengthened my stride and blew away any cob webs that may have been on...
