Almost tipped up today, but managed to stay strong (ish).<br />
<br />
ONly an evening row 6000 metres, 23:42.5.<br />
<br />
Absolutly knackered from yesterdays evening row and weights session, legs feel like spahetti, and once again, sod all weights, just not having done legs or deadlits for a week, and back to bloody square one. legs for years probably.<br />
<br />
But managed to drag my arse to the rower once home, and feel better for it. Even managed a haircut and a shave afterwards, so looking good <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

<br />
Got to get a light session in there for muscle recovery. Sure the rowing's doing a bit but throw a few leg presses and deadlifst in there at 50% of your absolute max and you'll be feeling peachy tomorrow <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Howz the no alcohol going Bart? I got dragged out last night by a couple of mates, told them the old desicnated driver story, iced water all night.
-
Friday - nothing, feeling a little crook, and couldn't be arsed basically, so did nothing but lie on couch and watch comm games and sevens wins...<br />
<br />
Saturday morning - row 5000 20:13.0<br />
<br />
Long slow row, still not feeling 100%, dammit. -
Ugly weekend, fish and chips and such, but even BFL lets you have the day off right? I just made it two - Pizza for dinner on Staurday, Fish and Chiups on Sunday, and bloody nice tooÂ
<br />
<br />
Back to real world though, Monday morning row:Â 5500Â 21:34.3<br />
Breaky that healthy cerial shit, trim milk. -
Could have been worse Bart, could have had some cold Heinies to wash the Fish n chips down with!!<br />
<br />
And yeap BFL lets you have a cheat day. -
subway for dinner last night, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, subway. but was strong, and didn't have my normal meatballs, had some roast chicken or something, Still good.<br />
<br />
This morning:Â Rowed 5500Â 22:01.0<br />
<br />
About as motivated as a soggy weetbix at the moment... -
Yes I know how you feel Bart - but perhaps you need a change of scenery. Go for a power walk or jog on the sand down at Whanga or something. The rower is always good but you risk becoming stagnant if that is most of your exercise. Running around the oval certainly made me appreciate my bike a lot more <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
-
Does that scenery thery apply to your misses as well Nick?? :2funny:
-
yeah NTA , got loads of forestry tracksm around, was thinking I might get up early and walk uphill for half an hour, and then turn around and come back.<br />
<br />
J8ust a passing phase, had them before and will have them again.<br />
<br />
I have rower set up so I can wing TV around and watch while I row, takes your mind right off it. Series one and two of MASH getting viewed at the moment!! -

<br />
Have you any secrets to share about how you overcome the "can't be bothered" feelings which inevitably accompany the beginning of some sessions? :nta -
buggered if I know. Just thinking how much better you'll feel afterwards was what got me through this! Thinking its only 20 fucking minutes you plonker, just do it and get it over with!!<br />
<br />
Other than that, no idea - anyone else got some training blues solutions...? Start a new thread if you do please :happy: -
Son you are seriously training the bloody house down!! Go fella<br />
<br />
I must admit, i was really luke warm about putting your eating / drinking / exercise / results on here for all to see, but it does keep you motivated and responsible!! -
Broke the trusty mountain bike out and rode out to some bush tracks, and proceded to run/walk/stagger two laps of this circuit (there are dozens that you could make with all the mt bike trails there are). Pretty much climb a hill up one track, and down another track. Two laps took 27 minutes, plus the 12 or sominutes there and back, total of 39 minutes.<br />
<br />
Will get three laps in next time, and then start knocking time off, hoperfuly!<br />
<br />
Dodgy old ankles not enjoy it too much though - rolled left ankle, but only a 'front row tweak' - about 400 metres on forestry road with shingle on it the size of dinner plates and down, soplenty od scope to hurt yourself!!<br />
<br />
All in all though, good fun and a nice change.
