No not a beer, although a chilled beer is always good. The chilled one I am talking about is the week. This week I have relaxed everything for a week. The relaxation started off unintentionally but I continued it on to see how I coped with reduced restrictions. I coped very well, no major blow outs although a large dinner on Wednesday and Friday night but this was generally balanced with 4 or 5 meals from the protein plan. I think regarding that protein plan I will go back to follow its strict outlines next week bar my Wednesday and Saturday rest day relaxations. I will run the Week 1 diet as per normal rather than going on to Week 2 as it starts to ramp up the caloric and carb intake and I think I still need at least one more week on the very low carbs. The relaxation has also come up trumps for my exercise. Although I didn't train until Thursday I now sit writing this post after completing my second excellent gym session in two days. Did my normal warm up, a full 40 min of interval cardio and 10-15 mins of weights at the end.
Tomorrow is going to be my first "Speed Saturday" and I think I will kick it off with a morning sprint session combined with some place kicking. The sprints I might do 3x20m, 4 x 50m and 5x 100m and see how I go. Very keen to begin this portion of my journey towards lightening speed. Up and At'Em, Alpha and Out!
