Only 3.7km tonight, but I did intervals. **** ME!

On a positive note, I checked the distance against the same time as when I started, and I can now cart my fat arse around the same distance 10 MINUTES quicker than when I started. I remember being so out of puff on my first time. Fitness is a wonderful thing.

Onwards to my 5k in 25min goal

[Roboklopp]

New 5 rep PB on squat- 152.5K.

[Subby]

Got my body fat down from 27 to 22% so cut going well.

Very good mate. Mine's a little high- 23.6%. 5'7", 14st 4-7, depending on the day. Not toooo bad seen I work at a desk, don't really diet and don't really do cardio I spose but I'd like it to be sub-20%. Find cardio so dull when it dont involve fighting/ chasing a ball/ whatever.

Cross country at Wreckenton. Course was nice and soft and got round the 5.7 miles in 39:19. Not great but I'll take it. And my club won out division too so championeeeeees

[Fosterbloke]

I just bought a second hand bench today! I now need a wide barbell to fit (Olympic size?)

Did some dumbbell bench presses and the stretching of the pecs feels amazing!

I'll keep up the pressups too though.

[RedReet]

Got my body fat down from 27 to 22% so cut going well.

14.2 mine was last year. I dread to think what it is now. Dieting was going well before this weekend too.

Ahh well, **** it, who cares what size I am when we lift the title.

10.1km thia afternoon. Need to fit runs in midweek as that's letting me down at the moment.

Oh and I shifted Scaramanga up the table before Pablo had an OCD meltdown.

Only 3.8km this morning, but I was doing it to focus on speed. Did ok, but should have taken my Inhaler, as my Asthma kicked in with about 1/4 of the run to go so I had to slow right down.

Its due to the changing weather I think as I tend not to suffer too much usually. Lesson learnt.

My first ever set of Intervals on Friday did me in completly, all night I was a wreck.

They obviously work, but my body was not used to the intense pace. But I found them weirdly enjoyable though.
