Okay beforehand i had a Niteworks and a fruit juice shake

Workout:

Walk 5 Min's
Run 15 Min's
Walk 5 Min's (3.3Km Total)
Back resistance machine (1 set of 100 reps)

Then I asked an instructor to some us some exercises for the back and abs on the exercise balls

He suggested we use a 65cm ball instead of a 55cm, then showed us a few different things we could do and you could really feel them working, due to having to keep balance as well as do the movement it works more muscles, he said that working the core would also automatically help with whatever other sports we were doing

He also said that he is running a fit ball session tomorrow for an hour so we might go along to that as well

afterwards i had a Soy milk shake with multivitamins and fibre and herb tablets

i feel exercised but no aches, yay

Gym and Swim

OK went back down to the gym last night
Took on board a Niteworks and shake beforehand again

Workout

10 Min's Walk
10 Min's Run (3km including walk)
4 x 100 (5kg each) arm and back toning on a resistance machine
20 Min's Cycle machine (over 5km but didn't log how much in the end)

Took a shake and vitamins for afterwards

My recovery time is improving and I'm finding a better breathing pace for my running as well, i now breath in for four steps and out for 4 steps, before i was doing in for 2 and out for 2

---

Found myself wanting something healthly for a supper snack, so went to the supermarket and get various tinned sardines in tomato and bbq sauces, had the bbq one on toast, very nice, and good for you, i don't think that i'd even had sardines before that

---

Went for a swim this morning as well, no aches or pains from yesterdays gym session and i took my goggles

With my goggles i could really start to concentrate on my breathing and arm technique

We did get asked to leave the fast lane though as i was swimming a bit slow and kept getting ion the way of this other guy, Sorry, saw him in the changing rooms later and found out that he's also training for a triathlon and will be going to do the Emberton triathlon this Sunday, just looked it up here: http://www.big-cow.com and this must be the triathlon he's doing:

Date: 05-Jun-2011
Location: Emberton Country Park
First Sprint of the Series
750m Swim ; 20km Bike ; 5km Run

I think this is a sprint triathlon, actually i've just looked it up and it is, so sorry for getting in your way


Note to self: look into getting a nose blocker for swimming

The big brown box day

My isotonic and effervescent drinks arrived today by special delivery, all set for another run tonight

Morning started with a healthy shake and vitamins, i'm trying to take on more water but i'm finding it difficult due to my work, sometimes i need to go to visit other companies to fix issues and am too polite to ask for a drink of water so i just get on with my work and get out of there, i'll have to overcome this and change that

Skipped lunch due to work commitments as well, not good, i'm starting to understand why not everyone is running to work everyday and going for triathlons in there spare time, i'll have to discover the secret of how others do this around a normal busy work day

Beginning tasks: Need to keep more hydrated and keep my body topped up with vitamins throughout the day

I've asked my brother if he can spare his GPS heart rate monitor watch so that i can track my distances, he has agreed i've just got to find some time to go and pick it up, it's (currently) too far to run to his house and back so i'll have to use horsepower
