Back on it

So, after a wedding and house moving break, I am back on the Tough Mudder trail.

Aim the week is the seemlessly get back into my routine.  This will involve:

  • 3 sessions in the gym before work
  • a run into the office (which is now 8.2km from Clapham Junction, rather than the 6 km when I lived in Belsize)
  • 4 sessions of press-ups and planks before bed (3x35 press-up and 3x50sec planks)
  • 1 long run at the weekend
  • Back on the sugar free diet during the week
  • Protein shakes after the gym sessions
It will be tough as I can feel I have lost some strength and muscle over the last two weeks.  I did, however, manage to squeeze the following into the last two weeks, despite the wedding, house move and trip to ireland:
  • lift a shit load of boxes and furniture yesterday, which was genuinely tiring (as much as a gym session for sure)
  • climb a mountain
  • go for three runs (6km minimum)
  • one gym session (chest and shoulders)
How is everyone else doing?

Ps. Since the start of tough mudder training, I have dropped two waist sizes (38" to 34").  Am very proud of this but it is costing me a fortune updating my wardrobe.
