Todays session: 3rd January 2011

OK, first blog of the year and hopefully a regular occurrence from now on!
Today was my first session since Christmas eve due to a horrendous cold which just would not quit.
Started the day with a steady state bike ride (with a few hills thrown in) with a client covering 23 miles. This went well although my knees seem to suffer a bit on longer rides, probably something to do with the geometry of the bike, not sure. Anyway better get used to it as we have a 100 mile charity ride to do in June for the British Heart Foundation. We've elected to do this in 8 hours which should be fine once we get off our mountain bikes and onto our road bikes.

OK, kettlebell/TRX session up next. I did the following:
2 circuits of:

Pistol squats. 12kg x 12 reps left and right.
Snatches: 24kg x 20 left and 20 right
TRX chest press x 15 reps
TRX high row x 15 reps
Clean and press with 20 kg x 20 reps left and right
TRX suspended hamstring runners.

Each circuit lasted 17 minutes.
Circuit one averaged 159 HR
Circuit two 165 HR
HR peak 179 (during snatches)

Great to get back on the kettlebells after a week off.
More tomorrow.
