Splitting cats

When I did my first session with my PT only 3 months ago, one of the first things he had me do was a superset of 20 x lunges + bicep curl immediately followed by 20 x split jumps. I sucked. I really struggled to get through the split jumps in particular. He then set me the short term goal of doing that superset 3 times in a row. Today, I did it :-) I actually did a 4th superset after a short brick just because I could :-)

5mins bike w/u

- 3 (count 'em, 3) supersets of:
(a) 20 x lunges + bicep curl (4kg d/bs)
(b) 20 x split jumps

- 10min ride/5mins run brick

- superset of:
(a) 20 x lunges + bicep curl (4kg db)
(b) 20 x split jumps

- 10mins ride/5mins run brick (with the last 60sec of the run at 6m/k pace - ie faster than normal for me!)

- stretching.

The fact that there several Perth Wildcats basketball players standing nearby when I do was doing the 3 supersets had nothing to do with the fact that I managed to do push through the pain & do them. Nothing I say ;-)

Unfortunately it was only during the last run that I suddenly realised (remembered) that this was supposed to be a recovery week. Opps. Sorry TA (*she blushes*). Still, it's nice to be feeling so strong at the end of a 3 week block of training. Last time I think I just about crawled into my recovery week. Promise to behave for the rest of the week!
