Gym and Swim

OK went back down to the gym last night
Took on board a Niteworks and shake beforehand again

Workout

10 Min's Walk
10 Min's Run (3km including walk)
4 x 100 (5kg each) arm and back toning on a resistance machine
20 Min's Cycle machine (over 5km but didn't log how much in the end)

Took a shake and vitamins for afterwards

My recovery time is improving and I'm finding a better breathing pace for my running as well, i now breath in for four steps and out for 4 steps, before i was doing in for 2 and out for 2

Found myself wanting something healthly for a supper snack, so went to the supermarket and get various tinned sardines in tomato and bbq sauces, had the bbq one on toast, very nice, and good for you, i don't think that i'd even had sardines before that

---

Went for a swim this morning as well, no aches or pains from yesterdays gym session and i took my goggles

With my goggles i could really start to concentrate on my breathing and arm technique

We did get asked to leave the fast lane though as i was swimming a bit slow and kept getting ion the way of this other guy, Sorry, saw him in the changing rooms later and found out that he's also training for a triathlon and will be going to do the Emberton triathlon this Sunday, just looked it up here: http://www.big-cow.com and this must be the triathlon he's doing:

Date: 05-Jun-2011
Location: Emberton Country Park
First Sprint of the Series
750m Swim ; 20km Bike ; 5km Run

I think this is a sprint triathlon, actually i've just looked it up and it is, so sorry for getting in your way


Note to self: look into getting a nose blocker for swimming
