Coastrek Week 5 Training program
1 x 17km walk
1 x Interval Training (30 mins) Pick from stairs, hills, bike, soft sand or high intensity interval training in a gym
1 x Trek Training (2-3hrs with a 3-8kg pack, see workout of the week)
2 x Relaxation & Injury prevention: Stretch, yoga, swimming
Last week’s plan to replace the interval training sessions with cycling has been an epic fail. On Sunday, I did ligament damage to my knee when riding. Regular readers will know of my ‘dodgy knees’ which can usually be managed. Because of this injury, which I don’t think is too serious, I need to totally rest from walking for a few days. There will definitely be no more cycling until after Coastrek!
But the gym sessions are still manageable as long as I stick with upper body, and give the legs a rest.
I’m hoping to be ok for our team training walk on Sunday. And then next week to get back to the regular Coastrek training sessions.
Oh no, damn knees! Perhaps the number of ‘relaxation & injury prevention days’ needs to be increased? 😏 Please take care of yourself & don’t overdo it xx
Yes that damn pesky knee again. I haven’t been doing the relaxation and injury prevention days. A lesson there perhaps
