Extra Exercise

I went to the gym on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I did compound resistance exercises for different muscle sets on each day. Trained for about 30 minutes each session.

Review of Training

I felt strong in nearly all of my sessions this week. I achieved my targets for the week, with an added 3 hours 25 minutes, I am going to attempt to complete a similar week training wise next week. I have been in London for the weekend, which offset my eating habits a bit as I have eaten out a couple of times and been on dried fruit in between. This had a massive impact on my performance on my Sunday run. I REAALLLYYY struggled through, because of my stomach cramping. In reflection I should have done a run of 2 hours much earlier in the day to avoid the digestive cramps. My running mate really dragged me over the finish line, but I am happy to have gone through it now. 

Next Week Targets

1. At least 10 hours of cardiovascular training completed

2. To complete a run of 2 hours and 10 minutes

3. To go to the gym 3 times
