Tuesday 12/11 - Boxing with Pam

OMG – my thighs are now in agony

The key indicator for me with boxing will be seeing how my ability to do press ups increases.
At the moment I can’t really do one – let alone the 200 we “did” on Tuesday.

Wednesday 13/11 – Bit of a rest day!

I was going to do LRR training at 7pm on the common but I could barely walk so had a lovely evening catching up on my TiVo recordings. I did do 10mins on the stationary bike.

Early morning Thursday 14/11 – Run gang on the common (me, Katherine, Stuart & Tamsyn so far)

Stu’s instructions:-

3 lots of 4 x 400m (i.e. 12 in total)

Liz - 2m 12 per 400m with 2m 12 rest between efforts. Tamsyn - 1m 56 per 400m with 1m 56 rest between efforts. Katherine - 1m 49 per 400m with 1m 49 rest between efforts Stu - 1m 25 per 400m with 1m 25 rest between efforts

After each 4 you get to slowly jog 400m as extra recovery.

This is what I actually managed:-

400m  2:17.33
Rest 2:00.45
400m 2:30.96
Rest 2:35.00 (I moved my bike)
400m 2:35.67
Rest 2:00.30
400m 2:35.90
Rest 1:00.54
400m slow jog 3:08.64
400m 2:32.37
Rest 2:00.43
400m 2:33.08
Rest 1:00.57
400m 2:28.46
Then easy jog 1:57.27

Total time = 33:16.97

So plenty to work on with run gang!

Will do some cycling this evening, then rest day on Friday, tri club swimming Saturday and maybe a walk on Sunday.
