Trolley dash

A weighty issue
03.07.2014

That weight on wheels has to be trundled up and down between two points about 50m apart. You run as fast as you can pulling it behind you. Erik says that training for speed means keeping up the speed, so if you feel your sprint slowing, you must breathe for a few seconds before resuming, as fast as you were. The temptation, for the long distance runner, is to try to keep going to fit in as many reps as you can within the minute. As well as that, this morning, we had to do planking, side to side, rope swirling, slides (quick crunches). It was a good session, and I was impressed by my perkiness, given last night's drinking and high jinks.
This afternoon: 14 lengths of the lido and a bike ride, plus some sunbathing and an ice cream, a present to myself for meeting a deadline before lunch.
