The concept is you strap a suit with electrodes strategically placed around your body (calves, quads, hamstrings,Continue reading “EMS and Pilates”

BRRC 10 km – A Bit Worse
Brisbane Road Runners 10 km today – and I had a feeling it was going to be a bit of a struggle, with depletion and generally fatigue. 23.5 degrees C and 98% humidity compared to 22.5 degrees C @ 75% humidity a fortnight ago. I got out a bit hard and spent much of theContinue reading “BRRC 10 km – A Bit Worse”

A Weighty Substitute, and a Cruise at the Pooh
Brisbane copped a substantial drenching overnight, and the wet rule was invoked for the group ride. My riding partner and I went to our back up plan and did weights at his gym. I did my “Workout Without Legs” which is my ‘go to’ if I’ve got running planned, which I have with the BrisbaneContinue reading “A Weighty Substitute, and a Cruise at the Pooh”

Five in the Morning
Up early to go and run before work. My wife and I had planned to swim this evening but that didn’t end up happening. A bit soft, but we’ll try to get out over the weekend. The run was 5.13 km in 25:14 for 4:55 m/km pace. I started sluggishly with legs like molasses butContinue reading “Five in the Morning”

Weights and Sneaky Steps
Managed to hit the gym on the way home, doing my Abs, Shoulders and Back session. On getting home I realised I was well behind on my step count. There was a delivery note in the front door advising of a missed delivery during the day, so I elected to walk to the Post OfficeContinue reading “Weights and Sneaky Steps”
