1 week and going strong

I have almost gotten through my first week back into everything minus 2 more lectures/seminars this fine Friday afternoon. I may feel it tonight after an early fire drill this morning! It always makes me feel like a buff body guard with my big RA jumper on and yellow fire hat but i am far from it haha. I am so happy my fitness is improving!! slowly but surely and i am not as sore after runs now. I have been to the gym everyday this week but am giving myself today off which ties in well being a busy day. So my training throughout the week has been:

Saturday - Gym session: 45 minutes on the treadmil with a total of 9km running. 5 minutes cool down on the bike and some sit ups and arm weights.

Sunday - Gym session: 45 minutes on the bike with 15 lots of 30 second sprints on a harder level and 1 minute active recovery between each sprint. Followed by sit ups and some arm weights.

Monday - Gym session; 10km run on the treadmil in 50 minutes (some walking at the start to warm up) this was a good session to see what a comfortable pace was for me over longer distance. I need to go a little faster to break 50 minutes for the 12km!

Tuesday - Gym session; 45 minutes on the bike with 20 lots of 30 seconds sprints on a harder level with 1 minute slower (active recovery) between sprints. The aim of this is to increase my anaerobic capacity which will be good when tackling the hills in the city to surf run! Good for when it is raining outside as an alternative to actually running up hills.

Wednesday - Gym session; 6km run on the treadmil about 30 minutes, then 10 minutes on the bike and some sit ups/arm weights

Thursday - Run to Narrows bridge (3km) i felt alive and so good! it was quite a fast pace. Then i found Kokoda stairs up to Kings park and ran up them 4 times... it was so hard i had to have a 10 second break half way up! i will be back there some more i know that! then i did 70 situps at the top and had a 15 minute run back to Trinity, it was just over an hour in total, was hard but felt good :)

Today - Rest :)

I have started a running group at Trinity which will hopefully start on Monday. I hope it goes well! It will be extra motivation for everyone :)
