I finally did it! Im under 15stone for the first time in ages - it feels really good to have beaten this plateau I have been on for the last 3 weeks, it was getting really frustrating. It just goes to show that when your exercise routine has gotten stale and you plateau - mixing [...]
I hadn’t done any weight training for ages so I started off the gym session today with a full-body workout on the machines, didnt go near the free weights as I wanted to ease myself back into it - I forgot how hard the weights are if you do them properly with heavy weight and [...]
Did a quick 40minute run yesterday covering 6km and today I did a 40 minute HIIT session on the cross trainer - its definately more fun than doing slow cardio, the time seems to go a lot quicker. I cant seem to get below 15stone 1pound, I’ve been stuck at this weight for 3weeks or [...]
Did my long outside run today - 10km exactly in an hour and 2.30mins - Im very pleased with that, getting very close to my target now of one hour for the 10km.
I also reached 500km in total for my runs since I have been using my Nike+ kit and I also recorded another fastest [...]
Today I put in 5.5km in 36mins with a 3 minute walk break - I was running at 9-10km/hour so quite a high tempo for me on the treadmill.
Im not sure what to do tommorow as I have my long run on saturday - I think I will see how my legs feel in the [...]
As I’m so bored with treadmill running I thought I’d have another long outside run today - didn’t start off great, was getting shin pain after 1km and thought about stopping and going back home but I kicked on and ran 10km in 1hour 8minutes.
I enjoyed todays run after the shin pain had died down [...]
Today was my longest run so far - I ran it outside on a course with a bit of a hill and the wind was really strong blowing in my face, even though I set some records. I ran 10k in 1hour 5minutes - my last 10k pb was 1 hour 14minutes! I also set [...]
Sigh - exactly the same weight as last week! Im pretty sure this is down to giving up smoking - I think my metabolism has slowed as I have been exercising daily and eating well. I’m not going to let this get me down though - time to to kick it up a notch next [...]
Was bored this evening so I put in another small run - 3.5km in 23mins. Gonna take a day off tommorow now and do some Cross trainer in preparation for a long run on saturday.
Did a 45 minute run yesterday and a little 25 minute run today - both didnt feel great though, felt very tired and out of breath while I was running. Not sure what’s up with that, going to try an afternoon run tommorow after I have eaten lunch and see if that makes a difference.
I [...]
