Cross trainer/treadmill sessions x 2 Monday and Friday after work. Although my shins did not hurt as much this week I did find Monday's session tough and it seemed to go on forever. Friday's despite being quite knackered I was surprised that I found it easier and went quite fast.
Wednesday I had a half day from work and from that went for a swim 50 lengths (15m) before travelling up by car to Villa v Arsenal. We parked about 10 mins walk from the ground. Alas the traffic to get out of Birmingham was a nightmare and we ended up arriving home at 2.30am hence my tiredness at the end of the week. I was therefore feeling quite positive.
Further walking 1 x half hour walk and 1 x 45 min walk;
On Saturday late afternoon I went into London, as well as a meal out and a pint of Guiness for St Patrick's day I did a half hour walk in St James's Park and walked around the west end area.
Sunday I took the train to Liverpool for Everton v Arsenal and although used public transport to get to Goodison I walked back to Lime St Station despite the weather. Towards the end of the match there were hailstones and these were coming down hard as we walked out of the ground. They did not last long though!
Week 6 - suggested training schedule 2 x 30mins walk 1 x 1 hour walk.
So with the day out on Sunday my plan was to go for a swim Monday lunchtime and do the gym work later in the week. However my left leg was really sore and although I took my gear into work on Tuesday I was struggling to walk around the office. I went for a swim Wednesday lunchtime and only managed 32 lengths. On Thursday I went back to get my body fat measured and my trainer has suggested this may be from the incline on the treadmill and to rest and upon returning to the treadmill use the flat setting. A couple of days I stopped the extra walking from different stations. I was going to go for another swim on Friday but I left my costume behind! I intend to go for an hours walk tomorrow. So I have not met the schedule but this is my 6th week of training and not actually my 2nd so it is not that bad a set-back.
