Go Forward in Reverse

LaHaine

Tonight:

40 minute run. Really struggled with this. Pace started well but faded. No heat excuse as I went late. Legs felt very heavy. Not sure what to do tomorrow now.

I had intended on doing some sprints in the morning but it depends on how my legs feel now.

Fair play on doing it twice!

Today:

30 minute swim in the sea. Mainly breast stroke. Nice way to get a bit of exercise in.

20 minute swim this morning. Meant to be longer but a guy in the hostel started to chat to me and i didnt want to be rude. After 15 mins sitting in cold water I gave up.

LaHaine

Today:

40 minute swim. Breast stroke.

Shoulders were very tender starting off today but loosened up a bit as I went on. Takes time to get used to swimming regularly I suppose.

LaHaine

Today:

13 minute jog followed by 15 x 50 metre sprints. Walk back recovery. This sucked!! Its so hot here today. Really struggled.

LaHaine

To make up for a poor showing earlier...40 minute swim this evening.

LaHaine

Yesterday:

40 minute swim.

Also about an hour and a half of skateboarding yesterday and the day before. Id be curious to know if there is any sort of core exercise happening during skateboarding. Better than sitting down anyway.

Its actually a really good way to get around and see things here so even if its not any exercise who cares!

Today:

3 x 10 knee raises
3 x 10 45 second plank
3 x 10 push ups
3 x 7 inverted row
3 x 10 dips
3 x 10 box jump. (increased height to mid thigh so this was challenging. Still waiting on the day where i miss it and fall onto the step which wouldnt be so much fun.)
3 x 5 50 metre sprints. (Hamstrings arent liking these sprints one bit.)

LaHaine

Today:

20 minute swim. Wasnt in the mood so happy to get anything done.

LaHaine

Today:

10 x 50 metre sprint with jog back recovery.

3 x 45 second plank

5 x 50 metre sprint with walk back recovery

5 min rest (puffing for air)

5 x 50 metre sprint with walk back recovery

Short and painful.

On a positive note ive lost some weight over here. Ive been watching my diet a lot more. Being healthy isnt easy when youre on a budget and in a hostel but im trying.

Ideally Id like to get down to below 12.5 stone. Im about 13.3 now.

LaHaine

25 minute run. Soo hot.

Also my feet are banjaxed. Presumably from wearing flip flops too much? They keep cramping. Which doesnt help with the struggle to make myself run.

On a bonus note, weight loss contines. Below 13 stone now. 81.9 kg to be precise.

Any foot stretching ideas to get rid of these cramps would be appreciated!?

LaHaine

Today:

17 minute run, easy pace.

10 x 50 metre sprints, walk back recovery.

15 minute run home.

LaHaine

LaHaine

Tonight:

40 minute run. Went ok. Few niggles but most went once I got going.

LaHaine

Today:

5 x 50 metre sprint.

Very tough today. Did these midday. Sun hadnt been out all day so wasnt too warm. But as soon as I started the sun started splitting the stones. Felt very queasy after the 100 metre sprints.

Overall an ok session. Trying to ease hamstrings etc into running faster so conscious of not doing too much too soon.

LaHaine
