Monday started with a solid strength set - I was feeling strong and am enjoying the change of focus. Hopefully the results will follow, just need to keep the faith and stay on course (very early days).
Tuesday - I was outside and completed a 43min (Garmin recommended) Tempo run - 10mins warm up, 23 mins at a pace target of sub 5:15 (I managed 4:56) and then 10mins cool down. Garmin only gave me an 'Average' grade, as I expect I went too quickly - next time - do as I am told. My VO2 is still 47 (it actually looks like it went from 48 to 47 - what that simply because I went harder!). The goal is for VO2 to be back above 50 and in the top 'Superior' segment.
This morning (Wednesday) I completed a 20min (half-cocked) strength set - I possibly didn't give myself enough recovery time. So not so good.
Tomorrow, I plan another cardio set, likely to be inside (Peloton or treadmill) as the weather looks pretty awful - snow storms.
Need to keep the focus on strength and get a minimum of 3 sessions in the weekly diary. My son, Alex (PT) has booked me in to one of his group lunchtime sessions later in the month - exciting.
