Training Log Archive: Santi

Was really tired after a whole week with no real rest day but as nearly every day in this week, starter bad but finished strong (see separate email).

15' - 750 m
50m - 44"
100m - 1'50"
200m - 3'50"

Was Ok through the test but could not increase my speed on the 50, 100 and 200 meters tests. After all of that, felt like I could keep swimming for hours :-D

Still think I need more water and need to focus a bit more on my technique.

Swap Saturday/sunday sessions as had the chance to get a lift to Studen for a XC session. Studen is a flat course. I did struggle the first half but picked up on the second part and finish strong. Put extra effort on my upper body and on the technique. Once again loved being out there in such great scenery!!

Found a nice spot were to do the series: a cemetery :-D Thought my heart would come out of my chest but kept going. The 10" of recovery felt like just 2". I thought that this was the first time I did the Tabata properly!! :-D

Maybe I need to add some weight on a backpack next time!!

Did strength work after my last (hopefully) PT session. Did the push ups in series of 10s. Thought I would not be able to get through all of them but managed!! :-D Took extra care on doing them properly and had the extra pressure of my PT being nearby keeping an eye on me :-D

100 m jumps felt a bit too long...

Track was still frozen but it was OK to run. Series went OK. Transition from backwards to forwards remind me that of bike-running in a Triathlon :-D

Track was completely frozen and shade area was covered in snow. It was just not feasible to run (let alone backwards). I will have to shift sessions this week and take today as a kind of resting day.

Better and better but not easier and easier :-D
