I've had a good week so far. I played football on Tuesday. I've not played for a while and managed to grad a last minute place with the group I used to play for. I sent the first 5 minutes being rubbish, clattering into people and losing the ball. Then I remembered how to play, or rather remembered what I'm good at and chased people down, winning back balls and making easy passes. I even scored a cracking goal turning someone and firing far past. Great fun.
Today I went for a run and decided to do some hill reps. I did a 2 mile warm-up and then 5 loops of a half mile circuit that contains a short but sharp hill. I went flat out each time and got my HR up to over 180. I gave everything on the last go and nearly lost my lunch at the top. A very slow cool down and stretch was needed after that. I love HR graphs. They never lie. Can you spot the 5 hill reps? I tried very hard on 3 and 5!!!
Its half term and I've done a lot of the work I need to do so I'm off cycling all day tomorrow. I want my cycling tan back just like Red.
As for swimming and tri, we don't talk about that anymore. Shhhhhhhh.
I'd love to know how to loose the tan.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking swimming lessons at the moment with the aim of finally biting the bullet and doing my first tri. I look stupid with the tan stopping half way up my arms/legs.
Yes yes... I like to think of the tan as a badge of honour and mine's coming along quite nicely.
ReplyDeleteThat said. I can quite understand why Mrs T points and laughs.
Like the new graphic. By the way, what device do use - a Garmin Forerunner?
ReplyDeleteRed - Good luck Red. Have you a tri in mind?
ReplyDeleteStuart - I was out on the bike for 4 hours today and my tan is looking nice. I'm a cyclist again.
Rob - I have an old Garmin Forerunner 301 that I use to cycle and a Garmin FR60 watch with foot pod for running. I like the 301 as I can see where I've been when I upload the data but the HR is rubbish. The FR60 is really nice. Good looking watch as well.
