Just as I got my training routine cracked, along comes the 'manhole cover' time...oh well. Anyway, I've decided to go with the female cycle and so I will be taking 1 week off in every 4, which at least means I won't be overtraining. Actually I read that Triatheletes do this when leading up to competition periods anyway, so maybe it's not such a bad thing...to do mini-cylces as they term it.
However, in order to take some advantage of the time as well, I'm going to up the apnea holds, as in the cycles that I do, not the hold-times. So, later I'm going to replace my 1 hour exercise window with CO2 holds, and I missed this morning, 'cos I was quite frankly 'knackered'...tomorrow should start with the morning table and then I can do the same table in the evening. Hopefully, the extra practice will be beneficial, and not over-exerting.
Last week, during my apnea cardio, I realised that I had gone off at almost a normal pace, and it can't be done that way for 1 hour holding your breath for 30 minutes of the time...so, next week, when it comes around again, I will have to be patient and not go 'hell for leather' in to the work out. Stepping is harder when holding the breath, than walking is, since I manage to walk the corridor at college, but can only do about 6 (24) foot movements at most when stepping, under the same circumstances...but it's all good fun
