Thoughts

I started out with plyometrics. The goal is to activate and work on the central nervous system (CNS). I need my CNS to be explosive and reactive when running, thus this plyometrics training is suitable for it

I did my research and added new routines to this new training phase. Of course there will always be adjustment. On some workout, I need to do more repetitions while some workout reps are just fine

I went for training today later than usual, so there was curious stares, more than usual. Well so be it, as long they don’t interrupt my training

After wrapping up plyometrics I went for my slopes workout. The first week is an easy week, so the intensity is set at 75%. It won’t be too taxing today. I just want to get my body acclimatised to the slopes

The slopes was ‘difficult’ however, as again I got the urge to do my ‘business’. There was no loo around so I held it back as best as I could. After fifth of supposedly sixth set, I just couldn’t stand it anymore, so I stopped the workout and off I went back home for some ‘business’ :p
