04/02/13 - Rest Day 05/02/13 - Rest Day 06/02/13 - Rest Day 07/02/13 - Swim Session After a great week training last week, I've only gone and got myself a cold. Not what I wanted by any means. As last session was so much fun, I decided to do it again. 40 x 50 m First 6 Warm Up Last 6 Warm Down Keep the rest the same speed and stroke. My stroke was just as bad, and I hurt just a little bit more. I was about 6 minutes quicker to but  that's  because I had less breaks after the 50's. Cheating I know! Session Details Duration 00:45:00 Distance 2000 meters Average Stroke 15 08/02/13 - Rest Day 09/02/13 - Turbo Session Back on the bike and another interval session, sticking with what I know and doing the simple 45 minute session, warm up, session of 1 min on, 1 min off and warm down.

I started with a 0.5km warm up and then straight into the time trial. I managed to clock in a respectable time of 00 21 27, slower than last time but only by 6 seconds. I was really happy that im not that far behind on my time, I know its different on the treadmill but it shows my fitness is coming back. I will do another TT next month to measure my progress then. I have compare the HR to this TT and the one I did in December and im happy to say there isn't that much difference in heart rates, but I suppose its down to how quick I can recover. 06/02/12 - MAX HR 190 BPM 01/12/11 -MAX HR 188 BPM Sess...
