Training Progress....

Monday

 

I did my weight and measurements first thing when I got into work. I was happy to see I had lost a bit of weight.

Weight - 58.1kg        56.9kg
Body fat - 22.2 %      21.9%
Waist - 77cm             76.5cm
Hips - 101cm             97cm

I took my spin class this morning and made everyone work hard. There were a lot of hill climbs and sprints. It was a tough session but really good.
I then managed to fit in some weights between clients which was a bonus. I just focused on a whole body session. Grainne and I then went out for a run and it was a lovely day for it. We went along the canal and then headed to the woods where I made her do some hill repeats which she loves:-) Not!!!

Thinking I hadn't done enough this morning I did Sophie's spin class which was good but by the end of the class I was pooped.

Tuesday

Melinda, Hilary and I went for a run from The Grove. The weather was not great but we knew we had to go. I would definately say it was not one of our best runs but we managed to get around!! We ran 11km but I felt it in my legs today.

Wednesday

I had the longest lay in for ages this morning 10:30am!! it was great and it was obviously needed. I met Melinda at the track in the afternoon. We could see a massive grey cloud which was not looking good and unfortunately while we were warming up it started to rain. We were not happy. The plan had been to do 8 x 400m but after 1, we called it quits because the rain started coming down  really heavy. There was really no point as Melinda is still not 100% and the wind was strong. We skipped the track and headed to Sportspace to go and swim.  We focused on lengths and our stroke. When I got home I went for an easy 3 mile run with my buddy Nina to get her miles in for her challenge she has nearly completed.

Thursday

Run club this morning and the ladies wanted to do the route from last week again so we headed off together on the 5km route. After that we went to the football pitch and I made them do some more running:-)

 

After run club I went to the gym and got on the spin bike. My buddy Donna came and joined me to keep going. I just wanted to do 1 hour and keep my RPM between 95-100.

Nigel was giving us moral support:-)

 

After my bike session I did some weights. Mark came over and gave me some tips on my squat which was very useful - thanks buddy:-) I finished off my weights session with some core and a good stretch and powerplate massage.



Friday

I covered cardio mix this morning. We did 30 minutes of a spin class followed by a circuit. After work I quickly squeezed in 40 laps of the pool before going to fetch my bike. I have to admit when I got home I had to lay down in my bed and snooze for a bit.

Saturday

 

6 weeks to go - Yikes!!!

 

Melinda met me at my house and she took me out for a bike ride. The sun was shining and Melinda was on a mission. We headed out to Tring and Wendover and back to Berkhamsted. I didnt know exactly where we always were but Melinda did so all was good. We had some hills to climb and when we were on the straight Melinda told me to put my head down and we went for it. The wind was strong today. I did find it tough but Melinda had said we were pushing it. I tried to stay on Melinda's wheel when I could but sometimes I had to just fall behind. It made we work hard though!!!  I did about 35 hard miles today. I was tired when I got home but pleased to have pushed it in the sunshine. I enjoyed my chocolate shake when I got home :-)

Sunday

Rest Day :-)
