30 min workout yesterday

Yesterday I did a 30 mins workout with stretches, pushups, situps, crunches, leg-lifts, and plank. Keeping up with the workouts is getting really hard with energy levels and motivations being low whenever I plan for the exercise. The stupid English rainy weather also doesn't help at all with my cardio routine. Have to wait for a dry day to do the cardio...which may be never in England. For motivation I rely on scooby a lot. His success story page is very inspirational and his new list uploaded today on his new domain getfit4free.org is good inspiration for my next few workouts.

6.6km in 38mins 41sec

Yesterday I ran 6.6km in 38mins 41sec. This equates to about 5.87 mins/km which is ok. However, I believe that if I run a full 10km, that time will drop to around 5.5 mins/km. I will sign up for a proper 10km race soon. It's been a while since I've done a 10k and I think it's time that I find a race to try it again. On the whole I ran more than expected today and I think I will increase the distance for the next run as well. I also may need to get new running shoes as the mileage on my current shoes seem to have run out. In the meantime, please read this article by scooby on why cardio is important.

30 min run after a long time

So I apologise for not posting recently due to a lot of traveling. This has also interrupted my routine with me being able to work out only sporadically. I did try to follow Scooby's tips on how to work out during travel, but it's not easy when you've got friends accompanying you during your travel. The difficulty in organising your schedule around their requirements is a bit of a problem with the workout thing.

Anyway I am back in the saddle and managed to do a 30 min run today to restart my exercise challenges. It took me 33 mins 30s to run 5.4km. I didn't do any other workout today as I didn't want to exert my body after a break. I'll work out tomorrow and post the results of that.
