Week 3 (recovery before the build to Lanzarote)

Week 1 of full time training

Week 1 of the 5 week block up to Lanzarote

My first week's training as a full time non professional athlete has been a really productive 7 days,and has been amazing at how much the body is capable of with proper rest and recovery sessions.

Over this past week iv covered :

3-45hr in the pool doing speed,endurance and drill sets.

0-35hr on the treadmill getting my shins back up to full strenght.

9-45hr cycling covering over 148 miles.

Thanks to Ben Ward for my training plan and his coaching.
