U19s, come at me!

So, it has been a few weeks since my last post. I have been fairly busy, poor excuse, I know. Anyway, down to the point. I have been lifting in the gym and increasing the load of the weight by 2.5 kilograms every time.

I have now done three track session since nationals. Every time they have been strength endurance efforts. Every time they have been very painful. My legs felt like they were on fire. I have been fortunate enough to only vomit during one of the sessions. There was a fair bit of it too, along with sharing a bin with one of my training partners.

After the first track session, it felt very good to get back onto the track bike and i enjoyed it a lot. The sessions have been increasing in gear size to help us transition into the U19s age group.

U19s, come at me!

The beginning of a long road ahead

I had a couple of weeks off after nationals, plenty of recovery. Now i have had three training sessions and a meeting since i've been back. The meeting was to talk about how we would be changing our training program and what new equipment we will need over the next couple of years moving in to the U19 age group.

The training sessions i have had back have been weights sessions. I have pulled back the weight from all of my exercises because of the time spent off. The first training session back i dropped down to 90kgs and am moving up the weight by 2.5 kilograms every session.

It's going to be a fairly long time before being able to compete because of the time between major events.
