Week 5 done.

I really haven't had a lot to say recently, not because I'm not training or working hard, but because all I have been doing is running.

I'm following the 5k101 training plan as I can fit that around my work schedule.

Running in itself is boring, but awesome for fitness and stress relief (not as good as Muay Thai or fight training though) which is why I haven't really updated.

Who wants to read: "ran intervals today" followed by "more interval running today"......

Anyway to the point I've now finished week 5 (8 minute runs, 2 minute walk x 3 sets) and feel pretty good with it.

That good that last interval I pushed my pace higher for the last two minutes almost to a sprint.

Onwards to week 6 I guess.

Different note: I'm going to start weekly measurements again and I really need to pick up the kettlebell... So there should be good times to be had.

Somebody get the cattle prod

Right now I'm struggling, I had a rebound weight gain back to where I started, my motivation is flagging and I've been forced by circumstance to give up fight training.

I'm not giving up I know I can achieve what I want, I just feel the hill is that much steeper right now.

That said I ran a 5km funrun on the weekend in 31 minutes, which is slow but the key word is that I ran it. No walking.

Today marks week 3 / day 2 of couch to 5 km and I'm enjoying that even if treadmills are boring as shit.

I'd like to get back to kick boxing and muay thai but I can't seem to find the time right now.

I've also decided that sunday will be my last shit food day for a while, need to get back to eating clean and get my shit sorted.

So heres the deal, you see me slacking, eating junk or whinging then taze my sorry arse.
