It's been a good first two days of full training. And by good, I do of course mean painful. The two are (unfortunately) pretty much synonymous for athletes. The two swim sessions (Tuesday morning - 1600m and Wednesday evening - 1300m), whilst fairly small distance wise, were done at a decent pace. Main set on Tuesday was 10 x 100m off 1:45, averaging around 1:21. Main set on Wednesday, 5 x 200m off 3:30, averaging around 2:50. Negative splitting on each one.
It's just occured to me that most of what I write might mean pretty little to some people - I'll try to translate some of the jargon on occasion. To be going on with, my no frills guide to athlete tech-terms begins with;
Negative Split - To get faster as the session goes on. Why don't we just say "get faster as the session goes on"? I hear you say. Ask someone else who has a plausible answer...
Running and cycling have gone well too, with my 8k run time this morning only 1 minute off a PB, without even pushing that hard.
In other news, I'll be heading on holiday to Wales with Sarah in January, to climb some mountains, enjoy the countryside and generally relax. Portable pool, bike and running shoes are all items which are not invited.
