TuesdayRest Day Took an extra day off today as legs pretty trashed from the Mt Barney/heavy gym session combo. As we are nearing the end of 2017 I sat down instead to write down my training goals for 2018. It is really important to set yourself clear goals at the beginning of a training cycle to help keep you motivated, to keep your training specific, and to reward yourself with a fun or challenging event. Here are my goals for the first half of 2018:
WednesdayRoad Ride I only had an hour so did the ride up to the top of Beechmont Road and back. Love this ride, so close to home and such a fun road. ThursdayGym Session - Home Gym 3 rounds of:
FridaySpeed Session/Fitness Test 3x1.1km on a slightly hilly road circuit. 3:54/3:55/4:00 (Ave pace 3:40/km). Very hot middle of the day. This is a session I repeat often during the year. I know that when I am in good shape I can do the intervals under 3:30 for 5 reps so clearly I have some work to do in the coming months. Saturday80 mins Hellfire pass with Caine. a good run of only 12km but with 700m of elevation, so making it a pretty solid effort. We were welcomed by an afternoon storm for the final climb, offering some cooling rain. Felt motivated to push the pace a bit on this final drag to the finish. SundayHandstand Workshop
Amanda and I took advantage of the Active and Healthy program here on the Gold Coast and attended a Handstand Workshop hosted by the amazing Morgan Rose Moroney from AMPM. Flexibility and gymnastics skills in general are something I love and have always wanted to be able to do, but honestly have always really sucked at. I think years of single plane of motion endurance sports have taken their toll. I am really enjoying challenging my body and mind in this new direction.
