Comfort eating is getting the best of me lately...... dfkhd;drh

I want to renew my gym membership, but I wanna be able to go most days... which I realize probably isn't gonna happen with school, especially so close to grad and exams... so ugh.

I've began walking for 30 mins a day. Im really trying to commit to every day and build up to jogging. I believe I pushed myself to hard once and hurt my shins, so its walking for now. Its great to get out and get some fresh air :)


30 minutes walking will really help. Sometimes shin pain can be caused by the wrong shoes to run in, or if they are worn. There are some great training programs to get you from walking to running.

Saturday . 20km 1:43.29. That was hard going, I felt it in my back, and was crying out to stop.

Type: Outdoor Run (Evening)

I'm so use to running at a certain effort but would like to try something different to the lead up to the City to Surf. I'm following their program which incorporates short easy runs, intervals and long runs. The variety should keep me interested, let's see if it works as a whole come race day.

I train for strength and endurance (well I hope so anyway) and for a lean and very define body.

Since Nov I have dropped 14kg (30.8lbs) down to 70kgs (154lbs) and have been training 5 to 6 days a week with training only lasting 20 to 30 minutes.

A typical session will be
Squat press (15kg or 33lbs dumbells) 20-10-20-10-20 reps
Crunch- 20-10-20-10-20
Push-up with alternating knee to elbow 20-10-20-10-20

Next night
Squat row (15kg or 33lbs dumbells) 20-10-20-10-20
bicycle crunch 20-10-20-10-20
Lunge rotation (6 kgs) 20-10-20-10-20

I have a different training session for each night along the same fashion as above that include pushups rotations, burpees, dips, elevated pushups, etc

Is it ok to train each night because it is a short session and I dont feel the burn of muscles tearing?

Monday 6th June

Type: Outdoor Ride (Morning)
Distance: 85.23 km (53.27 mi)
Time: 03:07:43
Speed: 27.2 km/h (17 mph)

It was damn cold this morning apart from the that the conditions were perfect. I love having these regular hills rides. Took a slightly different route today which I think is longer, not sure if this one or the week prior was harder, either way the variety was good. I got a new top speed going down hill with some help of a slight easterly wind, got 76.8 km/h :)

Type: Outdoor Run (Evening)
Distance: 4.42 km (2.76 mi)
Time: 00:23:22
Pace: 5:17 min/km (8:27 min/mi)

Good run, struggled to keep an easy steady pace. Pace was up and down like a yo-yo (between 5:00 - 5:30 min/km) - seeing other faster runners just makes you want to catch them :)

Darryl - I'm no expert but I think you set 1 day per week for rest/recovery, ie no exercise. Gives the body some time to repair itself (even if you don't feel like there is nothing to repair).

I played tennis with my sister for like, 2.5-3 hours yesterday. It wasn't as competitive as I was expecting it to be, but I got a work-out still.
