My own session followed by a Met Con

Not on the same day, I might be a little crazy but not that much.  I did my own session yesterday after my usual knee and ankle exercises which now seem to take me about 45 minutes (pretty much a full on gym session), but of course I want to make sure everything is in check and if I prevent injury I am going to do it.  During this time, I contemplate what I can do on my own so I came up with the following:
x 5 Sets
  • 2 min skips
  • x 12 Back extensions
  • x 20 box jumps
  • 1 min ball slams 6kgs
Today I did my Met Con session, so not that impressive really.  For some reason its not getting as scary as what it used to be, knowing that it is all achievable, even with the extra push that I am now receiving.  Which is for me is great, as if I say someone else doing an extra set, well then I would want to do an extra set.  I do really enjoy the sprint training, but just need to work on my turns.  The hardest part I am finding now is moving onto the sled (for some reason this really does take my breath away).

I am also focusing a lot more on my form and technique, ensuring that I am aligning my back and my chest is out.  These small adjustments are making me stronger and faster.  We did some sprint starts, based on reactions (which I now realised my are not that great), I don't relax into it and consistently on edge waiting or the start (then I feel like I miss it by a few seconds, and then I have to play catch up).

It was then followed by some shuttle sprints with sled push.

Next we did 3 sets of side shuttles, ski erg and rope slams.  Its a weird sensation when you feel you are giving it your all, but you still walk away thinking thinking you can do it all over again.  I guess thats a good thing, as I hope I will be feeling the same way during the 24 hour event.
