I have to say, I very nearly threw in the towel today. If this were a video diary and I was less of the macho macho man that I am, this is the bit where I would be getting all teary eyed and emotional about how difficult it all is. After my first day back [...]

Orla roared laughing when I told her what I did for training today, which I thought was a little mean, but makes me think you will probably have the same sort of reaction. Again, it’s worth stressing, my right leg is still injured and I have to be very careful with it for a while [...]

Today I got back on the horse (or, to be more accurate, and possibly to use a better cliche, bike) after a week out of the gym and without exercise. It was this day last week that I hurt by leg and developed what I have self diagnosed as Shin Splints. That still has to [...]

As you might have seen from my entry the other day, the last 3 days were not at all good. So for Day 56 I hit the cross trainer and spent 40 minutes sweating and panting away 635 calories. There was some big rugby dude that kept catching my eye while I was training and [...]

Smashed it (as some of the judges on the X Factor might have said!) in training today. Spent a full 45 minutes on the cross trainer varying the speed and the resistance. Shed a whopping 715 calories in the meantime and felt absolutely great after it. There’s a lot to be said for the great [...]

I injured my back on Sunday, and was told by Gemma (my Chiropractor) not to go to the gym yesterday. Today, in all honesty, my back was pretty much fine. My form however, not so fine! I just had a complete pig of a day and couldn’t motivate myself to go to the gym [...]

Back in the gym today after my day off yesterday and I decided to up the resistance on the bike, so I still did 20 minutes but at a higher resistance. Good god, I thought my heart was about to explode. That can not be at all good. Or, perhaps it’s quite the opposite, that [...]

40 minutes, 2828 strides and 630.2 calories later and I’m done. That’s enough exercise for today for me thank you very much. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words how much you dislike something. I used to have that problem with the cross trainer, but now I’m actually starting to quite like the thing! They [...]

Oh crud (which is word I’m trying to bring back FYI), how can I have been at this training for 6 weeks already? It doesn’t feel like I have achieved anything? I can honestly say that in the last 10 years, I haven’t done as much exercise as consistently as I have for the last [...]

You probably (a) can’t make out what’s in that photo, and (b) once I tell you will wish you hadn’t found out. That is a little baby puddle of sweat. I know this principally because it’s mine and because I was watching it grow as I cycled my now customary 7km cycle on the sitty [...]
