Week 10 - Building & Cake

Image
04/03/13 - Swim Session This is the furthest I have swam to date on this plan, still not enough time in the evenings to swim the hole warm down as the pool closes at 10pm and I can only get in for 9pm. I need reduce the rest phases which I am and swim faster in the sets, which I am trying to do. It was great to have an empty pool apart from kids that were heavy petting or at least trying to in the corner of the shallow end, out my way.

I completed the Cotswolds 113 last year and the plan I followed was a lot lighter than this, this plan takes me straight into building a routine and conditioning my body for the race. I like it... I like it a lot... On a downer, I seem to have lost my Garmin watch... 25/02/13 - Swim Session A tough session to start with, I've been doing some of these the past month in and out of illness so I knew what was coming. I cut the warm up and warm down as I knew I wouldn't have enough time to complete everything in time and it its the 1st week the plan went easy on me and only gave me half a full session. 2x100m easy 2x the following 16x25m 1st 3 EASY 4th ALL OUT A...
