50 days until swim #4! Training is tracking well. A trip to India this last week saw me contract ANOTHER sinus infection. One full day off, a few augmentum tablets and a shit ton of sleep and I still delivered a 25km week. ✅
One more ramp week( 40km) and then 1 recovery (20km) week.
Then the last 3 week build -1 week recover cycle to Catalina.
Anaerobic Threshold testing 10 days ago provided some exciting results and gains! A CSS improvement of 8 seconds per 100m. That's BIG! This translates to me having a stronger engine that can run longer and faster at the same revs. How? I put it down to 3 things over the last 90 days;
Alcohol- NONE!
Strength- we have been on a massive build ramp in the gym. Squad sessions have also seen a new level added to speed sessions.
Mileage- we have built the milage plan, as well as incorporated key 'slow- steady' sessions.
I really want to go to Catalina with a plan to enjoy the swim. The conditions of this swim are 'comfortable'. Warmer, hopefully calmer. I'd love to give this a real nudge and in the process enjoy it!
We'll see!
Thanks for reading! I'll keep you posted!
In swimming...
Nice update bro. Glad to hear it's going well. 'How' fourth thing... no footie practice!!
