Closing Week 43 / Start Week 44
Week 7 is over. It was a pretty productive week, also too much time was spend behind the laptop. Had some website work to do and I’m still not finished. So, what was on schedule?
Basic schedule for week 43 (October 19 - October 25)
- Rest: Workdays get up at 6am and go to bed at midnight or a maximum of 6 hours of rest.
- Running: 3 times in the morning. 2×15 minute runs with 1 minute rest in between.
- Freediving: Pool session on Thursday. Do a dry walk or static on 5 other days.
- 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.
I’m at an easy 6 hours per night at the moment, no real problems with it, besides that I’m going to bed way too late and therefor getting up to load. Of course this way I make sure I don’t sleep more then 6 hours and have to really get up in the morning.
Running goes great. Did 3 running sessions this week and more importantly, I’ve pinpointed were my running pains come from. On Monday I will visit a running store to fix the problem. More in this later. One week to go before my first running competition.
Dry freediving was a no no this week. Didn’t make time for it and I’m wondering if I should. The great thing is that my monofin training went really really well. Read more about it here.
Food intake is so so, while I keep myself to the 3 meals per day, it’s by no means always the right food. Have to fix this next month. For now I keep to the 3 meals per day and a small snack in the evening.
Mental part is going great. I’m really beating the procrastination enemy. I’m writing, I’m working, I’m getting things done! So that’s great. Problem is that when you are in a creating flow, information intake is less. So only read half a book last week. No problem at the moment, because the new features in Google Reader brings me more than enough new knowledge.
On to week 8. What’s on the agenda?
