Heat Exhaustion
02 Jul 2009 10:43PM
The MMA Clinic finally opened in Angel and I have been busy making the most of the day training sessions. Luckily my office doesn't seem overly fussed about my lunch time sessions since I'm in early and tend to stay a bit late. After taking time to heal injuries and being very relaxed about my training, diet and beer consumption I rather foolishly launched myself into training as if I were 4 weeks away from a fight.
-I managed a Sunday roll with shoot drills. -Monday was 60 minute mma fitness (think cross fit with a scary Irish guy yelling at you the whole time) the back in the evening for a 90 minute mma class focusing on double legs and scrambling up the cage while have said double legs attempted on you.
-Tuesday was a 90 minute mma fitness (with a scary Englishman yelling at you the whole time), later in the evening in lieu of training I spent 2 hours throwing sweaty guys around a mosh pit while getting thrown about myself at an Anthrax gig (this I would advise against 4 weeks before a fight).
-Wednesday evening was a 60 minute mma class of pad drills and grappling.
On Thursday I rested and on Friday evening my husband convinced me I needed a rest so I turned in early planning to train Saturday and instead woke up at 2 in the afternoon with fever, aches and chills. Whether I would have gotten the flu anyway I can't help but wonder if throwing myself in the deep end tired my immune system out. I was so ill I didn't train for a whole 7 days.
I've since returned and am trying to start slowly by training once a day for no more than 3 days on the go. The heat has made it a bit tougher though I take comfort that the new gym isn't in an alleyway that reeks of piss and garbage. I'm awaiting confirmation for an opponent so have started to curb the beer and have had to stop slathering mayonnaise on everything. It's hard but at least I'll fit into my swimsuit.
