Big week with 144pts up for grabs. I’ve swapped out elliptical for a 2nd stair workout. I just find the elliptical takes too long to get my heart rate up and unless we’re doing 40 mins + on there it won’t be as beneficial as the stairs. If you have more time you could switch and do more on the elliptical. Any problems let me know, but you’re working at a really good level right now, it’s very impressive.

Stomach issues ongoing. Woke in the night with gnawing gut ache and nausea, so still sleep deprived too. Gastritis flare up. Pleased to get this done and quite enjoyed it once I got going. I think HR was elevated due to the above and I was a bit dehydrated as struggling to eat and drink properly as RPE was low
Sorry to hear about your issues but really impressed you still got out there and did the run. I have some on the team who use any excuse to miss a session. “Sorry coach, didn’t run today, bad hair day”. Ok that’s maybe a bit of a stretch, but impressed you are still getting it done. Top work Lou

The first half of this went well, comfortably holding the pace but seemed to run out of steam after that. Can think of lots of excuses, could be not fuelled, hydrated or slept properly over the last few days. Always feel relieved once the speed work session of the week is done!
Well done Lou. Another strong speed session done. I think the lack of this kind of workouts over the past 12-18 months is probably why you tailed off a bit, but that should improve as you do them on a more regular basis.

The best swim I’ve had in a while and body pump had some great tunes so a good mornings workout.
Love this. What a difference the tunes can make. Really can lift our moods. Exercise is so powerful right? Well done Lou.

Far too hot 🥵. Had a break half way thru as could hear my pulse in my ears and feel it in my temples. Got it done. What’s your take on walking and rest breaks? I always try not to stop but wondered what impact that actually has?
Well done Lou, it has been crazy warm this weekend. I used to be completely against walk breaks, but now I feel like they can be useful. Sounds like it was essential for you to get the time done, so I’d much rather you take a pause to be able to complete the time. Conditions are going to dictate the HR, so when it’s this hot it’s a smart move in truth.

Getting it done before meeting the family to do it’s a knock out for charity.
One of the other members of the team was there for that!! Sounds fun. Hopefully not too demanding though. Well done Lou. Another fantastic week. Should you be 5pts short? Still well within the % for the 100% club so no need to reply if the numbers are correct. It might have been the change up Saturday that did it.
