Did a good session today at the gym, I have put on an awfull lot of weight though - Im going to have to go on salads for dinner for a bit and hit the gym hard in the week. The sciatica is still there but very slowly getting better - I can do exerice [...]
Today at the gym I forced myself to do 30 minutes on the crosstrainer in 10minute sets, with 10 minutes cycling so I did an hour in total. While on the cross trainer, I was in bad pain from sciatica after 5minutes but I just forced myself to go on till the 10. On the [...]
Did a run for 30mins at 9/km hour on the treadmill - annoyingly my Nike+ didn’t save the run though. After I did 23 mins on the cross trainer and 7mins on the rowing machine. Nothing special today really.
Feel like I’m getting a cold so that may tamper with my plans for a weight session [...]
Had a better workout today - sciattica pain wasn’t as bad. Managed a more comfortable 1/2 hour run on the treadmill doing 4.62 km in that time. I then did a 40 mins weight session focusing on my arms, chest and back. After some stretches and ab crunches I did 30mins on the cross trainer [...]
Started to have a bit of a run today on the treadmill but had all sorts of aches and pains in my legs - probably because of outdoors run on saturday - was the first time I’ve run outside since returning from injury, running on the hard surface outside definately batters your legs more than [...]
Been doing quite a lot of activities this week, a short recap.

Wednesday - Day off from exercise but did 2hours + strenuous gardening
Thursday - 7.5km run in 50mins in the gym followed by 11km bike ride
Was pleased [...]
I bought a new mountain bike yesterday which Im going to be incorporating into my training from now - I took it out today for a spin and rode 10km, the seat is pretty bad though, very uncomfortable so I’ve ordered a new wider gel-padded one from ebay so hopefully that will be less sore!
After [...]
So the go in the gym last week helped out - after I had been on the exercise bike my back was bad again for a couple of days afterwards but then it got better and I have been able to walk better - something I was really struggling with. I started off with walks [...]
Did a nice 5.8km run on the treadmill today in 38minutes which worked out at a 6.30/km pace which wasn’t too bad. Was puffing quite hard towards the end though so a long way to go before my fitness is back. Had some back pain yesterday and today but as soon as I had done [...]
Obviously I’m a liar so ignore my last post - today I went back to running in the gym
I did a fairly slow 40 minute run on the treadmill - I made the mistake of going at lunch time and the gym was packed and I couldnt get on a cross trainer so [...]
