"} Get a life, Get active! By Fit Lesley: Week 11 of marathon training...

Week 11 of marathon training...

Which means it's getting closer!  

Actually it is only 67 days away which is a scary thought!

Being a creature of habit, today being Monday equals cross training in the form of swimming with the Tri Club!

The water felt exceptionally cold today when I first got in therefore no opportunity to stand and chat without freezing half to death!

I was straight in with 6 lengths to warm-up before starting with the dreaded drills!  One day I will surprise you all and actually enjoy this part!

We seemed to do a lot of drills this evening including kicks, fists, catch-ups, zipper, doggy, sculling and then breathing all on one side and then all on the other to practice open water skills!

THEN (as if all these drills weren't enough!) we did a critical swim speed swim to see if we have improved over the last month since the last one. It would seem I have stayed the same - At least that's better than getting slower!

I swam 0.99 miles or 1600 metres or 64 lengths whichever you think sounds better!

Back to running tomorrow with a speed session with the Tri Club!

Fingers crossed this rain finally stops or it might turn into an open-water swim session through the streets instead!
