Weekly summary 24-27

This week was a pretty busy week for me. I was with a client almost every day of the week and I believe that is how it will be for the remainer of this exerience. The majority of my time is spend with my Heptathlete which I enjoy because I like working with athletes who have strong goals and admirations.  We worked very hard this week on interval and power training. With being a heptathlete you have to have both endurance and power. Endurance for getting through multiple events through two days and power during those events because all of them require fast twitch muscle recruitment for performance. when we started out we worked towards longer intervals to get that base down where we could slowly get to the shorter faster intervals. we are almost to that point and this week she really made some stride in getting through both interval days. One of which was a faster interval day, at about 80 percent, we hope to get to about 90-95 percent. I really want to keep away from going one hunder percent for a little while because we really dont want to hit that peak performance too early. But we also dont want to draw it out to the point where its methodical and we hit a standstill plateau. the rest of my days this week was training my conditioning class. we are coming to a close to it's kind of like the final push. One of the clients who didnt show up for a couple weeks is back in it and she is having a hard time keeping up so we are meeting at a different time in oder to tailor for her needs. She has asthma and really has a low work ethic so it get hard at times to motivate her. She has high expectations and goals but wants to reach them yesterday and has no sense of patience. So I believe that once the class is over she will be a ghoat at the gym.
