Daily training journal — building toward IRONMAN 70.3 Melbourne.

Sometimes when even baby steps disappear.

MORNING

Again it was an easy day, keeping my ego out, not pushing myself, not pushing my body, just working on adaptation zone 2 training. Swimming was same as yesterday, no progress at all, but confidence in future that I will be able to make it. I have still keeping faith in six months’ time that I will be able to learn how to swim and swim without exhaustion almost two kilometers in Melbourne. Today I am just going to be satisfied with a micro baby step, which isn't even a full baby step. Swim was 1.31 km (avg HR 117).

Again for the run. Again for the run today I was running with a friend who was actually finding it really hard to keep up with me. However, I am more grateful to him than he is for me because he really helped me with my pacing, because when I'm by myself my pacing is not that good and I struggle keeping with my pacing. My ego, my ego kicks in. So I'm happy, I am grateful that I have been running with him for last two days. Run was 34 minutes, 4.73 km (avg HR 147). Tomorrow is intervals. I will try to rest my body as much as I can.

For nutritionally, I really helped myself having sweet potatoes for antioxidants yesterday. Had some turmeric milk with black pepper. Also, while sleeping I had a concussion of apple cider vinegar and honey. It helps to promote better sleep. Also, these days as a supplement I am having magnesium tablets before sleeping.

Heading to work now.

Today I am just going to be satisfied with a micro baby step.
