Today was the first time I ventured down to the University of Essex for the first testing day and to meet the staff and all the people involved!!
we were there for testing and talks on nutritional aspects.
ok this involved a bike test wearing an oxygen mask and blood samples were taken to look at the lactic acid levels in my blood at various times on the ride.
tough...
then running with a heart rate monitor for 4 lots of 5 mins and again blood samples.
this went 5 mins warm up... 5 mins on 11... 1 min rest / 5 mins on 13.... 1 min rest/ 5 mins on 15..... 1 min rest/ 5 mins on 17 ... 1 min rest...
I managed all the run except the last 3 mins 30 seconds on the last set...
it was tough and I slept well on the way home..
a thank you to all the team for the great day and a great experience...
Sophie...
