Monday morning started off with an hour and a half beach run
at level 1 which got us to the lighthouse and back in Lossiemouth. Luckily the
weather this time stayed pretty good for us, and we didn’t get soaked through.
Being a nice day there were lots of dog walkers on the beach but one decided to
try take Carl on, unfortunately for the dog it was a little ankle bitter and
quickly ran off as we got closer. For
our afternoon session we headed down the gym for a squat session. For this we
used medium weights and focused on performing each repetition with the best
possible technique we could. In between each of the sets of squats we moved
aside and performed some skipping then moved onto shuttle runs. For our Thursday morning session
we headed over to Huntly to join in with the ski club there. As a warm up we
skated round the track about 4 times at a gentle pace just to get started. Once
we completed that we continued round and for the last 10 metres of the track
approaching the hut we performed some short sprints. We then moved onto the
main body of the training session which was 4 sets of sprints with around a ten
minute recovery in between. While everyone did three laps of the course,
Myself, Carl and Mat performed four laps for each sprint effort. After a 20 min
cool down which included easy skating and a few five metre sprints we headed
back to base for our second session. We headed down the gym and set up a
circuit which we performed 4 times round. The circuit we set up started with
some explosive jumps then moved onto tricep dips. After that we moved onto balancing
boards then performing the plank on more balance boards finishing up with some
push ups. At each station we performed the exercise for 1 minute and at the end
of completing the full circuit had a 2 min water break before going onto the
next round.
