I spoke with my sister today about the whole ECG thing (she’s a Chiropractor and knows about all this heart/biology lark) and she told me not to go to the gym or do any serious exercise for the time being until I speak to my GP and see whether the abnormality that showed up on… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 63 – My Dodgy Heart (Part 3)
December 29, 2009 By Leave a Comment
No gym today and the whole ECG/Echo thing is still playing on my mind. I called the doctor this morning, but they are actually still closed and don’t open until tomorrow after the Christmas holidays. I know I’m sort of obsessing about it at this stage, but it’s just nagging at me now. I just… [Continue Reading]

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]

Well, this is very depressing. I had hoped I wouldn’t get to the day quite so soon where I’d write a three-for-one blog post about my marathon training, but since the results are the same for each day, I’ll have to just say I did no training for the last 3 days. Things just got… [Continue Reading]

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 18

One of the things I find strange about exercising and the body is how one day you could cycle 7km and not feel like you were about to die, and 24 hours later, after 2km you’re ready to throw in the towel and leave the gym to someone else. I didn’t, leave the gym, but… [Continue Reading]

Thursday 5 November 2009 Well, it was always likely to happen, and today it did!! I fell off the training wagon. I had taken last Sunday off, and justified it as a day of rest. That’s fine, that’s allowed. Tonight, I let bad form get the better of me, and I did no training. It… [Continue Reading]
