swim - 45 mins -
2 x 100m - catch up, focussing on using shoulders more and rotating
2 x (50m kick, no float, 50m fist )
2 x 100m catch up as above
3 x 150m, slow and relaxed
1x 100m, pushing on
(total 1150m)

Well, not alot of training happened this last weekend - unless you count lifting pint glasses (full ones!), and laughing! And did receive an award at our tri club awards night - a totally useless map to help me find my way round Kielder should I venture back to that tri - which I wont this year (have to let the memory fade!!) - the map doesn't even have Kielder on it...did lots of talking...about skiing (took son to airport for school ski trip)..and mountain -biking - (some of the club are venturing out too early on Sat mornings)(but could really do with some guidance on how to ride the things).

training summary week of 2nd Feb.. not a good week..

swim - tick (though missed short morning session), did 2 longer ones

bike - still didn't get out - but too icy - managed bit of turbo - overall, not good


run - managed 1 out of 2 shorter planned runs, and no longer one - fail

strength, core, flexibility etc - ok


Mon 9th Feb

Short run/hill repeats
15 mins- Warkworth beach, back along dunes
15mins, 8 X up/down high dune, and back up to car park

Tri club pool sesh
5 x 50m FS
4 x 50m kick with board
4 x 100 FS, sprinting last 25 of each (felt like I was going about as fast as could in first 75!)
2 x 100 FS, last 25m of each breathing every 7 strokes
4 x 150m
3 x 100m on 2 min (first set did 1;55 - fastest I've done and didn't feel was pushing that hard, second 2 sets 2 min each, so no break between. Felt good - better than earlier in session.)
50m warm down, exaggerating recovery part of stroke.

total, 2000m
