Went to gym at lunchtime and did a weights session. Did 2 sets of 15 reps for different body parts, focusing on major muscle groups. Lasted about 30 mins. Weights were not heavy as just starting off.
This is an area I have always neglected so gonna try and keep it going during these next few months. Hope to do 2 or 3 sessions per week. Try an increase muscle mass, which in turn will use more calories on a daily basis than fat, which will eventually lead to fat loss. That's what the experts say anyway. We'll see!! There is mixed opinion on whether this can help cycling or running, but give it a go anyway.
Evening time did a coached running session in Loughshinny with Leewa, a Loughshinny based running/triathlon coach from Holland. Few swords cyclists there including Ferg Ryan, Lochlann Walsh as well as Gav Farrell, John Monks and Emma's other half, Garret Early.
Session lasted about 1 hr 10 mins and was an interval based session with 2 minutes at HR of 140, 3 mins at HR of 150 and 10 mins at HR of 130/135. This set was done 4 times. Avg Hr was 138 with a max of 158, so kept the run under control. This will be my run speed session for the week. Good to have it over with so early in the week.
Total training time today 1hr 40mins.
