Rome Challenge Sessions – Round 3

These are the next 7 sessions that Jia completed for the Rome Challenge. All of these sessions are from December. This round saw an increase in the distance per session and with that an increase in her aerobic training. This month was particularly busy with work and family so there are less sessions than in other months. This month also saw her first ever competition and her first ever medal win.

Note/disclaimer: These workouts were created specifically for Jia, while I don’t mind other people using or adapting them, they do so at their own risk.
