Friday morning saw a a sewer pipe in a bridge under the Western Freeway inbound lanes burst. It seems unrelated to talk of keto, calories and exercise but the suburb and surrounds I live were gridlocked by traffic, to the extent that our drive to the pool for our erratically regular Friday night swim endedContinue reading “A Swim and a Walk”

Early Slow Jog and Walk
I had another tough night’s sleep which really amounted to three or four hour long naps. I gave up at about 04:20, got up and put some running clothes on, heading out for a slow 2.15 km jog in about twelve and a half minutes. I did some additional walking just to make sure IContinue reading “Early Slow Jog and Walk”
A Friday Swim and Walk Combo
Fatigue was starting to lift a little on Friday. After an inactive day at work, my wife and I got out to the pool late afternoon where I pushed out a pretty slow 1 km swim in 27:51. I was conscious of my left calf throughout the swim but was able to exit the poolContinue reading “A Friday Swim and Walk Combo”
Fatigue, and a Test Walk
I suspect a combination of the sustained effort in the back half of Sunday’s 10 km run, three days of working in hot conditions, sustained calorie deficit and the EMS + Pilates sessions on Monday might have cooked me a bit. On top of being concerned about whether I had genuinely injured my calves, particularlyContinue reading “Fatigue, and a Test Walk”
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”
Dead Legs Walking
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”
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”
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”
