Cheers mate. As i say to everybody every little bit helps and makes all the effort worth while. I really should update the picture of benjamin, he seems decidedly cheeky in the pictures my wife has sent me.

update on training diary

update on training diary

Here is the latest update to my training diary. Don’t know how well I am going to be able to keep up the training soon due to the accommodation move and the lack of equipment for the vast number of people. I will try my best to keep it going as it has gone really well so far. Anyway less of the moaning and here it is.


Really disjointed week this week with being on nights and I had to attend a welfare meeting but I did my best.

20/03/09 (day off today)

21/03/09 Bike 45 min – 23.37km – 489 cal
Row 15 min – 3357m – 200 cal
Sit-ups x 120
Tricep dips x 120
Press ups (osprey) x 55

22/03/09 Bike 30 min – 15.81km – 343 cal
X-train 30 min – 5.88km – 400 cal

23/03/09 (day off had to attend welfare meeting for a new dartboard)

The flys in the gym are really starting to get bad now if you stop you get covered in them. Plus you look mental flailing around to get rid of them while exercising.

24/03/09 Bike 45 min – 22.85km – 474 cal
Row 15 min – 3274m – 190 cal
Sit-ups x 120
Tricep dips x 120
Press ups (osprey) x 55

Another increase in the press ups today added another 5

25/03/09 Bike 30 min – 15.70 km – 340 cal
X-Train 30 min – 5.85 km – 400 cal
Press ups (osprey) x 60

26/03/09 (Night shifts are starting to take their toll my body was telling me to stay in bed so I thought I would obey, felt much better for it.)

Increased the number of sit ups and dips today by 10 each

27/03/09 Bike 45 min – 23.03 km – 481 cal
Row 15 min – 3317 m – 195 cal
Sit-ups x 130
Tricep dips x 130

28/03/09 Bike 30 min – 16.23 km – 370 cal
X-Train 30 min – 6 km – 397 cal
Press ups (osprey) x 60

That’s it for now I will not be training on the 30th & 31st due to the laundry contract changing and basically there wont be any on those 2 days so rather than have stinking clothes lingering about I will leave it until it is up and running again which should be 1st april. Oh yeah if you were wondering osprey body armour weighs 11kg
