Report 1 - Week beginning 11/01/10

Have you stuck to the training programme? If not any reasons why?

No, I started on the week 2 programme - a combination of me thinking I was able to do it and my eagerness to get going.

Have you done more or less than expected? Explain.

I managed to do the week 2 programme, which pleased me as I was unsure of what I was going to be able to do.

How did you feel during training this week? What were the highs and lows?

I felt ok and so far no highs or lows, just raw enthusiasm!

Are you seeing improvements; in speed, distance, breathing?

Minimal.

Where are you walking/running; gym, beach, roads, forests?

All gym sessions so far die to the poor weather and in my current condition, hiding in a gym seems a better option.

Are you training alone/with someone else/mixture? How does this affect your training?

On my own.

Any injuries?

Aching legs but thankfully no injuries.

Are you feeling any benefits away from training as a result of the training; health, toning up, more energetic?

Yes - sleeping much better on training days - appear knackered!

Are you doing any other forms of exercise; swimming, cycling, yoga, pilates?

I had one game of squash this week.

Any other observations?

First week in - and I now classify myself as an 'Athlete in Training' which has made me greatly reduce my intake of food and alcohol, coupled with the training regime I am struggling to find the fun part but hopefully I will shortly.
