I've tried to get back into the gym this week, and be a bit more intentional about following my plan. 

Monday was strength work, focusing on all of the big muscle groups and my rotator cuffs (with cable weights). I'm 24 days out from the swim now, so all of my weights are getting dropped by ~10% to "maintenance" loads. This means I'm working the muscles, activating them, getting blood flowing to the fibers, but not damaging them too much (which is what you normally do for strength gains).

Thursday was an hour of rotator cuff (strength bands only), shoulder mobilisation and stretching. Lots and lots of range of movement work, to activate and promote recovery of the muscles ahead of this weekend 💪 
I'll put together a reel of my mobilisation and dynamic stretching routine, but it will have to wait for a few days until I have time again 😅

🌊 26.2 mile swim! 🌊

Will and I are off up North today for a swim event this weekend- a 26hr x 26.2 mile swim! Starting at 8am tomorrow, I'll be swimming a mile on the hour, every hour until Sunday at 10am.

This is the first of my big targeted weekends before Geneva; the focus of this one is to "swim" for 26 hours and build up the tiredness and fatigue, but not to overload my shoulders with the full distance in one go. 

Geneva should (hopefully 🤞🤞) take me somewhere between 27-32 hours, so this is going to be perfect training!
