The Naked Truth - March 2011 Edition

Written by Simon

Every month I reflect on the activities of the past month to see what I’ve done and to track progress. Today it’s time for: March.

I can describe my first month back, February, as starting up. I can describe the past month as getting in shape. Really feel that I’m getting stronger and stronger. What’s also important is that motivation is high and I really enjoy go out and train. No probs getting out of bed early, train, work and then train some more. Must pay more attention to nutrition though. Keep noticing that after a good workout I tend to feast on not the best products.

I worked out 26 days in March (of the available 31) so that’s 84%. 8 of those 21 were 2-a-days. Total # of days are pretty good but have to increase the 2 (or 3) a days.

The results

Swimming
The swim. Ah yes. I was of to a good start but then lighting struck and I was, once again, down with an ear infection. Only one word to describe this: fucked up. Backing of the swim for now, waiting to get better before getting my feet wet once again.

Cycling
That’s more like it. Twice +100km in the weekend. It’s a start but it isn’t enough.

Running
150km + isn’t to shabby, but got to increase single run distance. First step is consistently running a half marathon every week as a long run. Ideal weekly program will consist out speed work, interval, brick, ‘medium’ run and long run.
