O.k sorry for not posting for the last few days, that cold knocked me for six and I've spent a good few days in bed recovering, this is what is called sods law when you want to get started on something!
Oh well better late then never and had some time to play games and read (which is always nice!)
I'm going to make a start on my healthy eating plan tomorrow as well as start training for the super sprint triathlon, which I am both excited about and petrified at the same time. I got Get into Triathlon magazine at the weekend and I'm making my way through it, there is far to much to take in first time so I may be re reading it several times before my head wraps around everything.
In there is, what looks like, a really good plan for sprint distance, however to do it you need to be able to 1) Swim 200m non-stop, preferably front crawl (the last time I got in the pool I was able to do 25m with a 1 minute stop before I moved back to breast stroke, and this is with a swim teacher as I'm not a good swimmer), 2) Ride your bike for at least 45 minutes (this one is a possible, I could do 45 minutes on a spin bike before my accident) 3) Run non-stop for 20 minutes (not a chance in hell, I can just about walk 20 minutes). Baring all that n mind its safe to say I cannot start on this exact plan, however I haven't found any on the internet that interest me so I'm going to modify the plan a bit and see if I can do the 3 pre-requisites by the 1st November!
There you go I've put a date down, you have all seen it now I have to honour it (head in hands), as I'm already a bit through this week I am going to start properly next week and just work on the running one to start off with as it is the area I am most worried about as I have weak ankles.
So this week the plan is to:
Wednesday: Go for 20 minutes (Start with a brisk 5 minute walk and then alternate between 1 minute walking and 30 seconds jogging)
Thursday: same as Wednesday
Friday: Rest day
Saturday: Go for 25 minutes (start with a brisk 5 minute walk and then alternate between 90 seconds walking and 60 seconds jogging and 30 seconds running)
Sunday: Go for a long walk (at least 40-45 minutes)
That's the exercise part, for the food I will post at the end of each day how I did.
I am also starting my three university courses so I will keep you updated on progress there, I need to find my camera for the photography and design courses but it appears to have grown legs and gone for a walk it's self!
I hope every one is doing well on there goals and I will post about my first session tomorrow!
Always love to hear your comments,
Claire
