Spring sum-up


This is to sum up my intensity phase for this spring:
I've spent 34h 43m burning 21024 kCals during 31 sessions. The training included skating 271 km, running 75 km and plyometrics 6 times - this time Bill Begg's 'Offskate Plyo Specific':

17.Low walking, with knee to ground2 mins
18.Wall sitting, legs at 90 degree, back straight2 mins
19.Slow jogging & light static stretching to cool down & check if body is OK10 mins

In the last 2 occasions the plyo program felt almost easy to complete. That means I advance bit by bit :)

I've raced in the DOM Cup with a less-than-satisfying result and completed the Tour de Tisza-tó, which was more enjoyable.

I have 2 LifeInLine HMs coming up early June, before heading for the beach. I really hope to improve my PB in one of them, though I haven't been able to skate as many interval sessions as I'd planned, so there may be problems with my speed. We will see...
