Intervals Are Hard Work

Hey guys,

How was your Monday?
I am being good… really following the plan to the letter, so I can have a good go at Jeni if the scale is not cooperating this weekend!
With my new schedule, incorporating 2 days of road running, Monday has now changed t being my cardio intervals day. I am basically working on speed in these sessions, which I can hopefully combine with the endurance of the road running to finish the Two Oceans in good time – relatively…

So, my morning started with a super fast treadmill run. For some reason, I have really been struggling to achieve the speed I had a week ago. This is the second time this happens. (The first was on Friday.) May be it is the heat… But when I get to that high point, I really struggle. Friday I had to drop my high point from 15km/h to 14km/h. Today I managed the 15, but when I say I was dead at the end – I am not exaggerating!

On the nutritional side of things - not much change. I had egg whites and toast for breakfast, a protein bar for snack (after my intervals), chicken and salad for lunch, meal replacement shake for snack and somewhat of a boring dinner… Sardines, kidney beans and feta… (I was stuck at work till quite late, so when I got home I was ravenous and the only thing I managed to do was open two cans and eat!)

That’s all for me for today…

Bye!

Mel
