35mins of workout

I felt kinda tired yesterday and put off my workout until late at night after dinner. I don't recommend this. Even though it was 3 hours after dinner, it still didn't feel right. I think the workout should be completed by late evening and dinner eaten an hour afterward.

Anyway my workout was 35 mins of pushups, situps, crunches, plank and stretches. I think I need to up the momentum er workout to see some more results. They're still not coming as fast as I would like.

50 mins of work out

Today I decided to push my workout a little more. I'm seeing results and I was feeling good which was my reason for the extra effort today. So I did 50 mins of pushups, crunches, situps, plank and stretches.

I do believe external influences affect mentality for working out a lot. Some good youtube channels out there do just that through example. Scooby's channel and bodyrock.tv are 2 of the best out there.

10km with hill climb in 1 hr 5 mins 40 sec

Today was the Mount Faber run. It was 10km which is usually easy for me; but the fact that this run had a long uphill segment really slowed me down and was pretty brutal. I would say that this was one of the toughest runs I've done. On the plus side, the run really worked out my core. It took me 1 hr 5 mins and 40 sec to complete it.

Workouts for the past few days

Wednesday: Went to the gym to do some stationary cycling. 40 mins of cycling was brutal, but good for those muscles I've not used in a while.

Thursday: Played badminton with my friends. 1.5 hrs of continuous play was a good cardio workout.

Friday: Did 30 mins of pushups, crunches, situps, stretches and plank. I think sets like these are really improving my strength. Will try to incorporate longer sessions in the future.

40 mins of Working out

Today, I was able to work out for 40 mins with situps, pushup, crunches , plank etc...

I will need to do some cardio tomorrow as I feel I need to sweat out some calories.

Random tip for Runners: Paste band aid or a plaster on your nipples before your run in order to avoid nipple bleeding; which is a very serious problem for runners.

40 mins of swim

I remembered that swimming solved my shin splints a long time ago, and decided to try see if that would work again today. After a 40 min swim (22 laps), I think it might have worked. I will know when I run again next. Today was a good brisk swim after a long time. I think I will swim more often in the future.

35 mins of cycling

Decided to do some cycling today to change the routine a bit. I managed to do 35 mins of non-stop cycling.

Also, I think my shin splints may be back again. I'm going to have to watch my pre-run stretches and take them a bit more seriously in order to avoid shin splints in the future.
