Faster, faster faster

I am now thinking that I should do shorter, but faster runs. I have been reading a lot about doing resistance training and it would appear that doing small sprints with small walks would benefit me.

Did my back in a bit on Friday, which meant I could not go out with David K on Sunday. Mind you, had a pretty good day with my kids and the future Mrs Schiko. But that is a different story.

The plan for this week is to change my weights routine to get me some new drive and stop eating sweets for the whole week. I also plan 2 runs. One on Wednesday to run in to work, and on Saturday with Nick Johnson early enough so I can get back to greet the estate agents. The run on both days will be about 6 KM, so it should be good. May even do a little "sprint" session on Friday night around the canals of RCP

Will start taking some pictures for the blog

Until next time, stay healthy and lean. Don't be lazy

It's been a while...

So, I have been quiet on the blog for a while. With Christmas and the new year, I have just not had the time to write the blog. But since my last post I have done a lot of training. I did 1 run on my holidays, but mainly I relaxed and put on a bit of weight!!! That has all come off now, and some more. For the first time in 14 years have I gone under 15.5 stone (98.5 kg's). My weight training is going well, and yesterday I did 40 mins spinning and abs + 60 mins boxercise.

This morning I ran from home to the gym (5.7 KM), and even thought it was a bit slow 34 mins 20 sec, I feel good and I just need to up the amount I run now. I will do 12 KM on Sunday in the park. Will keep you posted after that

In the meantime, please pledge to my fundraiser via:

I have raised 1,235 on line so far and 490 off line, so in total 1,725. But I am still 1275 short of my target, so please pledge

Stay lean, not lazy
