More weights, hills and yoga

A review of Wednesday's weight session, Thursday's hill and why I needed a rest on Friday :(

Wednesday evening is my main weights session at the Romsey Rapids gym.
The session consisted of:

  • Squats 3x5 42kg
  • Dips 10,6,6
  • Some work on the swiss ball - balancing on knees and some press ups with my legs up.
  • Some V sits
  • An interval session on the bike - 20 seconds easy, 20 seconds flat out (150 rpm) for 5 mins.
Pretty tired afterwards and didn't sleep well. I find this is the first sign of overtraining.

Now I should have taken Thursday off, but stupidly didn't.

Thursday

Went to the track and did some hill work. 17 mins of short fast hills.
Stride and speed good, but would have been better to rest.

Again very tired and didn't sleep well. I really will rest on Friday.

Friday

7am 30 mins of yoga - very beneficial. Seems to have kicked started the body.
No more training today. Hurdles session in Swindon tomorrow and Stockbridge 8 miles on Sunday.
