Week 8 day 1-3

Okay made some mistakes this week so a few lessons to be learned


Day 1
Horse riding with approx 5 miles of running around this. Fab ride on big Molly a huge horse... Very fast.

Then onto body conditioning class after. Was tired after 18 miles run at weekend and boot camp but recovering.

Day 2
Plan was to do a recovery run with Mrs frc or slow pace run then do the pump fx weights class after, skipping the boot camp circuit class.

Here was the mistake.

We split up on the run, I went faster, then doubled back to catch up again. Sub 8m 30 pace for 5-6 miles.

Then since we were in the vicinity went and did the boot camp anyway. Very high cardio fast big surge of energy used.
Managed to do the pump class but tired and not at full strength.

Day 3
Booked a pt session with Cath for 7.30am. In comparison to previous weeks literally not bounding out of bed.:)

Great pt session and some really nasty pyramid weights. Arms absolutely max ed out.

Still tired. Wore my Garmin with heart rate strap the whole session for the stats. Did okay.

Football at lunchtime too. Wore my heart rate monitor again to compare this game to one 2-3 weeks ago.

This showed 25-30% difference in terms of calories so 2 rest days planned. Back off a bit and aim for more next week.
