23rd Sept 2013
This is the last week of my first 3 months training. Phase 2 begins next week and I will be setting new objectives and targets.
Overall I am fairly satisfied, progress has been made and I think I am on the right lines, the next 3 months will be the real barometer. I say that because the beginning of any training plan is where I would expect to make the quick wins and gains.
The positives are improved cycling and running, a resting heart rate of 41 BPM and losing a few pounds in weight.
The only area which hasn't seen any significant improvement is the swim.
This week I will be doing my last time trials to get my final swim, cycle and run data in so there is still a chance I can hit my 400 metres swim goal of under 7 minutes. Will let you know at the end of the week the final data.
On a final note, something which I haven't yet mentioned but is absolutely fundamental to any serious plan are the impact of everyday life, by that I mean work, children, family relationships and so on. You simply have to take all of this into consideration, but strangely it all adds up to making doing endurance sport all the more challenging
Bye for now David Ed Smith
