Although I am on a rest weekend I needed to take part in filming my "indoor" training yesterday. This resulted in me going flat out on the turbo trainer to get the effect of the heat coming off me and the sweat dripping off me - looks good on camera. However I wasn't expecting these shots to take 31 mins so it was a great workout on my rest day.
With the snow on the ground the director decided it would be good to do the weights outside. Again when filming the bench press the number of takes exceeded my expectations so I had a big weights workout. The purpose of the filming is to make a short promotion video for my Mission Ironman conference speaking (www.missionironman.co.uk) and next Sunday I will be swimming in Loch Lomond as well as cycling and running. This will give a snapshot into Ironman training.
My new schedule starts tomorrow and the endurance is building in all disciplines. My weights and core sessions reduce by one each but three stretching sessions have been introduced to keep the muscles flexible as they will shorten and tighten with the longer sessions. My wife is designing a yoga workout for me which should keep me right - can't wait to get started.
