I knew training for the Octathalon would be hard and so far it has lived up to expectations. This week I have undergone the Cardio Blast 1 twice.  As the title suggests this basic program focuses on building up your cardio vascular base by completing the same circuit of exercises three times but with increasing intensity.

Initially it feels relatively easy but when you are faced with the last circuit your legs start to feel really heavy and your head dizzy. Not suprising considering my heart rate was in the low 180’s!

Next week I’m going to have a go at the “Step it Up” program if you want a copy I will post it on this blog next week or you can visit www.Octathalon.com . Why not give the Cardio Blast Program a go and let me know how you get on? If you want to download the training program’s just click here.
