Coach has recommended some resistance training in place of running while I am out injured. Hit the waits room tentatively, as I know even a light workout will cause me to wake up tomorrow sore all over. Just have to bight the bullet.

Wind trainer again in the evening, incorporating 2 x 15min sections of 'nasal breathing', breathing strictly through my nasal passage in order to strengthen my diaphragm and other respiratory muscles.

TRAINING:

AM: Resistance Training

> 5mins rowing
> Squats (50kg) (12/10/8)
> Chins (10/8/6)
> Dips (12/10/8)
> Pelvic Tilt (30/20/10)
> Side Plank Raise (3 x 30sec holds each side)
> 5mins rowing

PM: 1h 30min cycle (wind trainer). Avg HR 148BPM. 2 x 15min 'nasal breathing' efforts.
