Time for a Re-Think

Wet training since the Christmas break has not been great. Last week saw a really bad session in the pool and i pulled out very early during my warm ups at 3min 40secs! I also tried a new neck weight using 3kgs this time but found myself sinking instead of gliding! Not a good week.

I have been training very hard over the past 2wks and have decided to split my training into separate parts on different weeks.

Week 1 Heavy weight sessions plus dry statics and one pool session
Week 2 The same as week one
Week 3 Cardio (cycling) plus dry statics and one pool session
Week 4 same as wk 1 & 2

Currently I'm on week 3 and I'm loving the bike rides sessions. The gym sessions are purely for working core strength only. My weight has gone up from 11st 12lbs - 12st 1lbs and diet is much better.

BIKE SESSIONS
Mon : av speed 12.1mph
dis 5.31miles
max speed 20.2mph

Tue : av speed 13.7mph
dis 5.31miles
max speed 22.1mph

I have made another neck weight for tomorrow's pool session which has just over 2kgs in so fingers crossed i will glide better. I have also been getting my warm up's a bit upside down and round the wrong way (don't ask!) so fingers crossed for at least 5mins.

I have also got some sponsorship from http://www.9lounge.co.uk/ Pete Marshall owns the best cocktail bar in the South East (if not the world!!) and also employs one of the best doorman in the South East (if not the world!!) who have agreed to fund my next monofin http://www.leaderfins.com/cgi-bin/form.cgi/63eng?id=194&tm=1233095249 this is the fin i will use this year for my first competition. My good friend Craig is going to do all the sponsor graphics on the blade. I'm sure it will look great!
