After what happened last week, I took a week off of the gym to recover. It did scare me and I had to re-build my confidence to go back there. I am so glad I did this because I had a really good session today.
On the cross trainer I decided, that rather than push my self beyond my limits and try to do to much, I would maintain a good pace and heart rate so that I could keep going without feeling like i was going to pass out. I kept the speed interval resistance at number 5 with 180 strides per minute and the resistance interval at number 9, striding at 145-150 strides per minute. My maximum heart rate was 163 but i averaged 153. I broke a good sweat and at some points did feel myself getting weak but the 30 mintues went really fast.
Then came the good bit.. because I did not exhaust myself on the cross trainer, I was able to run for 20 mintues on the treadmill! I think the week off, did me some good to be honest and gave my leg propper chance to heal. The 20 mintues, was again interval training only this time I ran on the flat and jogged on the hill climb.
Following all this I did lots of leg and arm weights.
I feel very proud of myself today!
