Second training session today – cardio intervals, as planned. I thought that I would be more tired this afternoon from my early morning session, but I’m really not all that bad. I think that the biggest effect will be on my sleep.
Driving to work I normally feel a little tired and my eyes feel gritty, even though it is only 10k. I was noticably more alert this morning, and I was more awake for my initial work too.
This afternoon, about 1400 I was starting to feel proper fatigued so I made a coffee and came back to camp. I didn’t drink all of it – actually about 1/3 after my workout.
I was pleased with the cardio today. I had to work hard for both the row and the bike bits. The row probably didn’t produce as big a calorie result as I would have expected. I think it was about 169 at the end of it. I was averaging 10 – 11 strokes/interval at about 79m. No doubt I will see improvement in this as I get fitter.
Bike as good. Surprised myself with the second tabata – I just focused on keeping the rpm >100 and I managed it all. Happy with that. The hills were also good – really pushed to the point where I did 100 @ 10 in the last set. Overall quite happy with the session.
Feeling much less like caving today. 2 days and counting. I think I would be happy if I were at a point where I could take it or leave it. But I’m not there, and I’m not sure I will be.
If you want to rock. You rock. If you want to roll. You roll. Why is that in my head?
