The clocks went forward this weekend, so my body was a little unprepared for a circuit class which started at the equivalent of 05:45.

A nice circuit class followed by a 4.5 mile run. Is there a better start to Monday morning?

Rob’s back from holiday so he made this quite a frantic session, including such joys as 3minutes straight on medball situps. We’ve decided to put the pain down to “a change is a good as a rest” and ignore the resulting wibbly feeling that’s stayed with us throughout the day. Ouch.

Circuits in the morning and an easy run in the evening.

Somehow I think I slept through this class.

A couple of days rest.

A busy day! I combined my hour of circuits with a 4.5 mile run in order to catch up a little after my slack day yesterday.

Quite a good circuit today because of the way it was laid out – the minimal break time between the bases meant it was strenuous.

I took the precaution of wearing a neoprene knee-support in circuits today.

I’m feeling 100% again. Yay!

After a morning circuit class Em & I stopped off for a bacon bun in the gym.

Circuits today was quite strenuous comprising four stations each with 10 exercises.

My legs are not bad at all after the 14 mile run of 2 dys ago (yay!).

This seemed like a short session (I think only about 50 minutes of exercise) but it’s good to have a bit of a break – we’ll probably be doing a good distance on the run tomorrow!

Today’s training was CV focussed, but not in any way a hard day.

The hip is feeling better. A Boxercise session will stress it differently to (and less than) a run, so a night of cardio-vascular work it is probably better. Ouch. 2×1 hour back to back classes, with lots of pad work so my little ticker was pushed a lot.

Tonight featured an hour of Boxercise, followed by an hour of Volleyball. This worked well because the boxercise rends to be a whole body killer, whereas volleyball works the thights and leg stability muscle groups. Result: I’m knackered.

My right hip is a little sore after yesterday’s speed work. It’s possibly also due to a minor wrenching on the last day of boarding: when trying to lift the nose of the board from some deep snow I felt the hip-ball get slightly dislodged from it’s socket – a strange experience. Circuit training tonight [...]

Boxercise: 2×1 hour classes, back to back, focusing on strength and peak heart rate work. Included lots of (weighted) lunges, squats, lunge walks, ski sits, sideways lunges, squat thrusts, burpees & star jumps, so I’ll need 24+ hours to recover before the next run.
