Okay, day 2 of the practice diary.
I want to continue with my goal of taking care of my head position and my body stability.
Today, I'll go for 100 arrows with around 40 of those with closed eyes during the release.
My goal is to have good body stability and head position on 80 % of the shots.
I also want to do one session SPT3 (go to full-draw, over-draw for 10s let down, 1 minute break, 10 repetitions).
I also found a good guide online, which highlights a good routine for archery training: https://www.acearchers.com/uncategorized/archery-exercises/
The guide highlights that muscle training should be done with a rest day in between and suggests a minimum of 90 - 120 minutes of endurance training per week. The SPT section was especially interesting as it shows an example of how one can split the different exercises in a week.
I'll try to use my adjusted variant
Review:
I finished the 100 arrows with a lot of good shots from 20m, my release felt often quite good today and I get a good feeling for my body stability to identify when the stability is off. I wasn't able to to SPT3 today as I spent too much time at work, I'll have a bit more time off tomorrow though ;). I also wasn't able to do a lot of shots with closed eyes during the release as I was distracted by Paloma talking to me during the training.
