Yesterday I did a aqua jog session and jogged 50m. :-)
It did feel a bit like the krypton factor. As you had to skip a woggle, jog to the far end and back then tie a knot in the woggle.
Talking of which the krypton factor is making a come back.
This blog will have my thoughts about training for running races and triathlons. It will also contain items about weight loss (nutrition) and general fitness.
In 2007 I completed my first Ironman triathlon at Ironman UK and therefore I am now an Ironman.
In 2009 I took part and completed my first Ultra Marathon a 39.3 Miles (63.2 Km) run.
In 2010 I completed two Ironman distance triathlons with just 1 month between them.

Weekly Weigh-in
This week my weight is up 2 lb (0.9 Kg) and my % body fat up 1.5%.
I have not properly adjust my food intake for the little cardio exercise I am doing.
This is the heaviest I have been for for over a year. I need to stop this upward trend.

Also did some proper training
I also did some training at the gym. I did some upper body weights and then some cardio. The major milestone was I ran for 10 minutes on the treadmill, with only some slight discomfort.
This is more than I would normally run on it as I don't like running on them, suppose I am too used to running outside.
I did get to try my new flashy running trainers which felt ok for the 10 minute run I did.

Tough Work - Pie Tasting
This sounds like tough work but I think I would be up for it.
The phrase "who ate all the pies?" would then be more appropriate.

Weekly Weigh-in
This week my weight remained the same but my % body fat reduce by 0.5%.
I am starting to more exercise in the gym so hopefully this will start a downward trend.

Weekly Weigh-in
This week my % body fat has decreased by 3%. However I have gained 2.5 lb (1.1 Kg)!!
This is still due to the amount of food compared to exercise, I have now gradually started to increase my exercise but I should reduce my food intake.

Ironman UK 2008
After marshalling at a sprint triathlon on Sunday I then went down to watch the Ironman UK. I saw a couple of pirates there. My tri club member DNF'd after the first lap of the castle grounds due to a knee problem.
While I was there I bought a few Ironman merchandise, as there was none left after I was finished last year and I did not want to get it before hand.
While there I had a tube of pringles, non-stop from pop to empty.

Weekly Weigh-in
This week I have gained 1 lb (0.5 Kg) and also gained 3% body fat.
I suspected this due to the type and amount of food I ate this week and the lack of exercise due to my injury.
