Hard session this morning. I used the workout feature on my watch which I found really useful as it told me when to start the 8 minutes, when to have a break etc. I set my goal pace as well and it was really handy to see if I was hitting it. I found it super hard but I maintained my 5k pace which I think is about 8.20/8.30? And then for the 3k I was hitting 7.30/7.45? I think that’s right.
I focused mainly on arms at the gym though afterwards as that was a pretty intense run!
That’s some great paces there, ahead of your current targets. Good idea to set it into the watch if you can as that can help push you in a session like this, especially when you do without a group. In terms of the S&C, good idea to focus on arms. From a pts perspective, the way S&C works is pretty much 3 sets of the same exercises is worth a point. So this idea every gym sessions is equal and worth 15pts is obviously a bit nonsense. So if you’re as determined as me to keep it honest and on target, let me know how many exercises you did (3 sets of) and we can work it out from there. For example today at the gym I only did.
Deadlifts 3 x 15
Hip Thrust 3 x 15
Calf Raises 3 x 15
Bent Knee Calf Raises 3 x 15
Goblets Squats 3 x 15
Wall Sits 3 x 60s
So 6 exercises, 6 training points. Rather than just saying, gym workout, 15 pts. Hope that makes sense. It means I can then tweak anything going forward so you’re training at that right level. So if you just worked the arms today, I’m guessing probably a max of 8 exercises? Tell me if I’m wrong though.
