50 Mins Swim

15 POINTS

50 min swim today, as it’s my day off. Felt good swimming, followed by hot tub 5 min and ice bath 3 min, getting it in the routine. Pool was busy and people in the wrong lanes, I was quite grumpy!
I imagine that is so annoying. Why can’t people just follow the rules. Well done on getting it done though, and good to get the exercise in so soon after Saturday. I think from a training perspective and looking at HR, if accurate this probably not giving us as much benefit aerobically as the pts suggest. But we can keep an eye on that going forward. It’s something I want to explore further, so bear with me.

Bimble💙

18 POINTS

50 min Bimble ( does that mean I can do a gentle parkrun on Saturday?) and Su’s stretches. TBH, less pain running, than up and down stairs and round the wards at work. Pain 1-2/10 at most in knee, glute a bit more. Any stretch through the glute can give me a 7-8, but in a weird way it’s a nice pain. If I’m running and it hurts, touching my toes stretches it out, painful but then a bit easier.
Yes if you fancy a gentle parkrun Sunday, let’s put that in the plan. I can’t say no right? 😂 Glad this went well and the pain was minimal. I’ve made a note of those numbers on the spreadsheet though and I think it will be a good exercise to do going forward, especially for the different forms of cross training. Well done Su.

60 Mins Swim

8 POINTS

Su’s stretches ( and wrestle with Jamie 😏) after 1 hr swim and ice bath. ( instead of Sunday) Friday is a good night to swim, lane to myself for most of it!
Well done Su. I’ve tweaked the schedule to reflect this. Glad the stretches went ok.

Easy parkrun

9 POINTS

Parkrun and stretches complete. Parkrun was good, knee ok, glute 3-4 as time went on. Little bit of calf muscle cramping. Confused re yesterday’s swim was less than Tuesdays points?? Not that I’m fussed this week 🤷‍♀️
I’ve got myself in a bit of a muddle at the moment with the training zones/pts. It will become clearer soon. It really comes down to heart rate, so hard you’re working in the pool. So we just need to work that out and then keep it consistent. Bear with me on that as making some changes to make it more efficient. Well done today though. I’ve made up the pts so it matches the target.
