So, despite the slagging I got off Orla yesterday, today was such a nice day and the sun was shining so brightly that I decided to incorporate another walk into my exercise plans. I still think it’s a good thing to do (walking is one of the best forms of exercise right??) and a good… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 93
January 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Arms are killing me today. Stupid swimming, that’s the last time I’ll don one of those little hats and subject myself to such toture, I suspect water-boarding would be about the only more tortuous thing involving water that you could be subjected to. Anyway, after swimming yesterday I was scheduled to hit the cross trainer… [Continue Reading]

Ryan Phillips Marathon Training – Day 80 – Thursday 14 January 2010 Back to the gym today, and a little bit of gym rage. I’m used to going to the gym in the afternoon, but I got help up yesteday doing stuff so I didn’t get to the gym until just after 6pm and it… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 77
January 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Looking back on day 77 (which I can do, since I’m posting this 4 days afterwards on day 81) I could easily say that I didn’t do any training because my training guide said not to and that it was bad to run two days in a row at any time, but particularly at the… [Continue Reading]

Well, I finally spoke with my Doctor this morning, turns out she’s not my doctor, but another doctor….I think. Anyway, basically there was a slight issue with my ECG. It’s nothing major, but it is something so we need to have it looked at to see and make sure there’s nothing suspect. I’ve got to… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 62

Man, I have eaten so much crap and junk food over the last 3 days it’s disgusting. What a lovely few days Christmas was, but as usual (well, usual now, not previousl), after 4 days of no exercise I was getting really fidgety, so I drove back to the apartment and did 40 minutes on… [Continue Reading]

Back into the gym again for day 57 of Marathon training and more time on the bike and more time on the cross trainer to be had and done. Again, sweat buckets, kept the heart rate up and did some light cardio and weight loss exercise. I was thinking on the cross trainer earlier that… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 52

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… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training- Day 51

The pigging out over the last few days, and particularly yesterday has felt great at the time, but it’s always the next day when you look in the mirror or stand on the scales or feel tired and unfit, or all of the above (as today) that you regret doing it. Today I was back… [Continue Reading]
