Jorg's Brain Log

How did the first week of planning go? I’m pretty happy but especially the last few days could have gone somewhat better. The plan was to do the following:

Basic schedule for week 37 (september 7-13)

• Rest: Workdays get up at 6am and go rest at midnight.
• Running: 3 times in the morning. Getting the blisters away with 9×2 minute runs with 1 minute rest in between.
• Food: Start eating regularly 3 times a day. 2 times strict and dinner with the family. Paleo style.
• Freediving: Regular depth session on Wednesday and Pool session on Thursday. Everyday a max 15 minute static schedule. Short but intense.
• Stretching: 3 times in the morning. Loose up the body with a 30 minute stretch session.

Mental work: Read some books and start writing regularly again.

Rest went okay! Managed to do it 100% right, so lets continue. Running was also okay and no problems on the feet.

Freediving went partially okay. I did do static on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. But that’s two missing at a minimum. So I have to step it up and make it at least 6! Depth session didn’t fit into the schedule, but I did a good pool session.

Food was just plain bad! Well, the only positive thing was, that I was eating again 3 meals a day. But not at all Paleo food and still snacking a little bit in the evening. I didn’t do any stretching at all! Didn’t make the time for it.

Mental work was okay! Reading goes like crazy. 3 books last week, so I ordered 5 new ones already. Some very interesting titles. Writing is going well, but not regularly. I’ve got creative bursts that can last as long as 6 hours, but it only happened 3 times this week, including this one. It’s better to do 7×1 hour then to do 3×6.

So plan for the coming week:

Basic schedule for week 38 (September 14-20)

• Rest: Workdays get up at 6am and go rest at midnight.
• Running: 3 times in the morning. Getting the blisters away with 7×3 minute runs with 1 minute rest in between.
• Freediving: Pool session on Thursday. At least 6 times this week: max 15 minute static schedule. Short but intense.
• Food: Start eating regularly 3 times a day on workdays. Not yet paleo style but no snacks after dinner! Soda light no problem.
• Mental: Read some books and start writing regularly again.
