Swim Training Today
October 29th, 2009 by Shane No comments »45 minutes front crawl give or take a few breathers and a little choking. Bought a nose plug today which has made the whole affair a lot more serene if that’s the right word.

Chicken and chick pea jalfrezi for dinner (home made of course).

October 28th, 2009 by Shane No comments »So I just received lesson 1 of Branden Brazier’s Thrive 30 plan and its all about diet and stress and how they effect training and recovery.
There are two-types of stress, complementary and uncomplimentary. Complementary stress is positive and pertains to things like training and learning for example. These are stresses we place on the body that force it to grow. Uncomplimentary stress relates to environmental or psychological stresses that actually do us damage. » Read more: Lesson 1 of Thrive 30 – Stress & Diet
