New body pump release

Wednesday 1st April
New body pump tonight, and I like it. Squats - ok track, music a bit cheesy. Chest - good, like that there are no press-ups at the end. Back - similar to a lot of the old ones. Triceps - quite hard using the bar a lot again. Biceps - short and sweet. Nice. Lunges - good, like the mix of lunges and bottom half squats. Shoulders - a bit too much going on here perhaps, frequent changes between press-ups, the barbell, dumbbells and press-ups again. Abs - like it, some opportunities to make it harder for yourself.

Went for a run outside after the class, 5 miles nice and steady, about 45 minutes on my feet. It just made such a nice change to be able to run outside at that time and for it to still be light. British Summer Time rules.

Plan now is to rest until the White Horse half on Sunday (but may do the upper body part of pump on Saturday) as that will be the only flat half I'm doing before London (and probably until Chippenham in September) and my best chance of a PB. Wil then train hard up to and including the Easter weekend and then start to taper down towards the big day. Not long now.
