Only went to a blimmin gym didn’t I! Was weirdly a bit nervous, as it’s not my natural environment whatsoever. Have a basic programme a mate built for me, but still didn’t feel confident enough to hit the free weights up. Have sucked down my ego and am going to do one of the sessions with the staff at the puregym to go through lifting for beginners and i’ll pick it up from there.
I did actually quite enjoy myself though. It’s nice to have a bit of variety. Gonna make the most out of that step machine this winter as well to prepare for a big race I have in mind next year.
12k trail run for me, one of my regular routes, probably going to have to be a bit more organised in 2-3 weeks if I want to do it again or dig the headtorch out.
Also did a few leg strength exercises in the gym after, think I need to work on my quads and hamstrings etc., now I’m cycling less and swimming is dead to me I’ll try and get in a few times a week.
Good month - 32 hours, month screen shot below 151km in 13h35m (only about 12-18km more in the month than a single week when marathon training, still okay though.) Walking ~32km in 5h15m
Had to go into the office today, so woke up at 5, did the girls packed lunches and head on up to the gym before I drove up. Quite enjoying myself at the moment, though it feels like i’m just making it all up as I go along! Will spend some time getting used to it and then start following something a bit more planned.
