Bit frustrated 'cos I didn't get out for a run yesterday. Did another weighted dog-walk in the evening tho'.

This morning, out with the dog and the heavy rucksack. Hoping to fit that run in tonight! Also need to lift weights - not enough hours in the day!

Can't fault you on your enthusiasm for training/running! Got confused at first and thought the dog might be in the rucksack LOL must be the low carbs!

MrGum · 18-08-2008, 06:44 PM

Not a bad idea - would add about 35kg extra. Doubt I'd get far tho'

Poundages are all low as the 3x12 is hard - my muscles turn to jelly after 10 reps!

(2 warm-up sets for each exercise)

Deadlift 3x12 50kg 1x12 55kg.
Good Morning 3x12 32.5kg.
Military Press 3x12 22.5kg (should have been rows - got mixed up).
Bench 3x12 42.5kg.
Leg Raises 4x10.

Ran 11 miles. Felt good and maintained a respectable pace. V. happy with that!

not been in for a bit pal, been neglecting my journals and just posting in my own

looks like its going well pal

Did my walk with the dog with the weighted rucksack (9kg). This is definitely affecting my hams and glutes - I can feel it. Also hopefully making the dog-walking time more productive as cardio.

Your legs will look great in no time- time to hit the weights to keep your body even!

Eat protein, eat protein, eat more protein!

Have you got a dog?

MrGum · 20-08-2008, 09:34 AM

Yes - he's a Labradoodle. There's a picture of me and him when he was a tiny puppy in my album!

Lol - "dog-walk" is not some fancy new technique, it's literally taking the dog for a walk!!

Don't know if I am kidding myself but I thought I could see some abs in the mirror!

I flicked through the first pages and I couldnt find the answer so Ill ask, whats with the circle tattoo?

MrGum · 20-08-2008, 06:36 PM

It was just something I felt the need to get done (!?) Some people have suggested it's a target.

Yesterday

Trying some Ross Enamait stuff.

100 rope turns
10 burpees
10 press-ups
10 squats
8 cycles of that, no rest.
Didn't manage to have no rest

. This was really tough, mainly because I am sh1t at skipping

. That'll come!

Then I did one of his core workouts:
10 V-ups
10 Chinnies
10 Knee-hugs
4 cycles

Lying Straight Leg Hip Swings - 10 each side
Plank - about 30 secs
3 cycles

I found these routines really challenging, even though I did less reps than he suggests!
Hopefully I will get out for a long run later.

I know I keep chaning my routines, but they do say variety is good. I think I am going to do some of this guys conditioning and core stuff, plus 2 sessions of weights a week and see how that goes.

I am also working hard on flexibility. They say you can reach your potential in 2 months, I hope that is true!
