November 19, 2008- COMPETITION NOTE

COMPETITION NOTE: Have you ever had to compete on really short notice...and end up doing awesome?! Well that's actually because you weren't wearing yourself out. Usually athletes will overtrain prior to a tournament and not get enough rest the week before. 10-12 days is optimal to rest before the tournament. You can still stay active and practise the moves, but make sure you're RESTING your body. This is quite huge actually and will help you peak just as your match roles around.


Morning: Did my Enhanced Interval Training Workout 2:


10 burpees sprint 50 meters. Drop and do 10 clap push ups. Run backwards 50 meters. Keep going like this for 15 minutes straight. No breaks, no rest periods. Rest comes on an as needed basis. Strive for minimal rest.


Wooo! This one was a toughy. I barely got through it. Very hard workout. I like it though because these types of workouts get me to where I need to be mentally and physically.


Afternoon: Went to practise. I kind of had a shitty practise due to me having to run to the washroom a bunch of times. Stomache aches are so painful :(



Nevertheless, got through the workout and did the best I could given my circumstances.
