Run: 2:00
Swim: 3,600 meters, various sets with a hypoxia focus
Core strength: 90 minute workout with Mario
Comments: Again, I didnt sleep well. I think its the bed, but also my body is tired and sore. Morning 2 hour run was smooth and went by quite fast. Last 20 minutes were difficult only because I was very dehydrated.
Came back to the apartment and spoke with Sophie for a while (she is in New Dehli, India)
My afternoon swim was very cold. I was the only person in the pool. I have a good feel for the water, and the swim workouts are not challenging. I ate a massive lunch because I was very hungry.
Tonight I did core strength training with Mario. Sets of 15 squats with heavy weights to the point of failure…sets of lunges with heavy dumb bells, mountain climbers and several other exercises over 90 minutes tonight. Once again, 52 year old Mario Huys kicked my ass.
