Training Progress Update


just to update on my training progress.

Weights training are done over the weekends. To my surprise, despite the fact that I head the gym twice a week now, I have managed to regain my strength back! But as compared to last time, I have lost quite a bit of muscle mass, due to lack of protein intake and my reduced in weights training, with a drop of weight from 70 to current 65 (was 62 after my sundown marathon).

I ran thrice last week - Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Distance was between 5 to 6km for these 3 days, but speed was the element! I managed to clocked all in a good 20+minutes. After my morning runs, is followed by a series of body weight exercises to "substitute" my gym workouts. Apparently, this helps. I also ran on the threadmill (on sat) and I did something crazy by running speed 15 - 16 for 20min nons-stop, I guessed I was just a little too high and was of very good form that day, but the whole threadmill is as wet as I am after my run =X

Tomorrow Sunday will be weights training, and will be heading to the pool for an easy swim and to get some sun, cos I haven't been under the sun for quite some time now.

Have a greaaaat weekend!
