Yesterday’s run impacted on me today, with sore legs and fatigue the order of the day. Fortunately I was in the office, so there weren’t any physical demands but concentration was difficult. I passed on a proposed gym session, got home and took a short nap. Realising how short I was on steps, I putContinue reading “Dead Legs Walking”

Finally, a Run
Work finished around on time, so since I was smart and packed my run kit I was able to get to Pooh Corner and get a run in before an evening social engagement. I was keen to push past the 7.40 km from 5 days ago (!) and continue to develop my fat burning adaptation.Continue reading “Finally, a Run”

Just Pilates Today
A combination of a bit of a late finish at work, feeling tired and a little sore from the long hot day at work yesterday, and the ride/gym combo saw nothing done in the afternoon. Monday’s sole activity was the usual evening Pilates session. I did bump a few efforts up, but that’s all thereContinue reading “Just Pilates Today”
Saturday Morning Group Ride, Afternoon Weights
Kicked the day off with a resumption of the old routine – meet my mate at his gym in Toowong at around 05:15, ride up to Milton to meet the group and head off for a reverse River Loop at around 05:45. I knew with my transition to fat burning it was going to beContinue reading “Saturday Morning Group Ride, Afternoon Weights”
Garmin Connect – Calorie Calcs
In preparing for the resumption of keto and calorie restriction come the start of the new year, I did some research into the calculation of calorie burning, taking into account things like weight, steps and so on, to work out a base calorie usage. It all proved to be a bit of a rabbit hole,Continue reading “Garmin Connect – Calorie Calcs”
Friday Afternoon Swim and Sweeteners
Got out with my wife for an afternoon swim at Dunlop Park Memorial Swimming Pool, pushing out an even slower 1 kilometre in 26:56. It actually felt pretty comfortable. Hopefully my breathing won’t be as disrupted as it was last week. I hadn’t felt great through the day, with the digestive system making itself knownContinue reading “Friday Afternoon Swim and Sweeteners”
Fat Adapting in the Heat is Hard
I got home from work to another hot afternoon and, grudgingly accepting I needed to get out and run, decided to wait until it cooled off a little, finally getting out around 4 pm at Pooh Corner. I intended to go a bit longer today but the legs were still dead and it was apparentlyContinue reading “Fat Adapting in the Heat is Hard”
A Brisk Hot Walk
A combination of heat, smoke haze and fatigue saw me ditch my proposed run when I got home after work. Temp was mid 30 degrees Celsius (edging close to 100 degrees F for our Imperial friends) and the prospect of running in that temperature in smoky conditions seemed like a ticket for trouble. I hadContinue reading “A Brisk Hot Walk”
