TIME.....

Went to the gym and joined the cycling class for one hour (intermediate level). This was then followed by a 30 minutes exercise using the elliptical machine. Wanted to do more but time is not on my side lately especially starting tomorrow for two weeks my invigilation schedule will take most of my time. Wonder how I can fit in my cardio training?

INTENSE CARDIO

Went to Fitness Zone twice today. In the morning session, I did a 10K run at a time of 50 minutes and 55 seconds. In the afternoon session, I did one hour exercise using the elliptical machine and after that I joined the cycling class for one hour. The cycling class is awesome and so addictive...

MOTIVATION SLOWLY PICKING UP

I went to Fitness Zone at 6am this morning. I did a 30 minutes exercise using the elliptical machine and a 5K run at a time of 24 minutes and 07 seconds. I was highly motivated because of the change of environment (totally different from JPMC gym). I anticipate the next cycling group class.......

NOT A PRODUCTIVE WORKOUT

Did 5K in 24 minutes 20 seconds and 30 minutes exercise using the elliptical machine (steady climb). Tiring day - not productive........

CALIBRATION WORKOUT

I went to the gym early this morning to calibrate my Nike+ipod running gadget. At the end of the run I found out that the data recorded by the gadget was consistent with those displayed on the screen of the treadmill. So I can conclude that my running times for the past few days are all accurate (I was myself a little bit skeptical actually, hence the calibration workout). For 5K this morning I clocked a comfortable time of:

23 MINUTES 42 SECONDS

Apart from the 5K run I also did some exercise using the elliptical machine for 45 minutes and also some light weight lifting.

MY SECOND BEST 5K

Went to the gym doing exactly what I did two days ago (Friday) the only difference is that I managed to run 5K in 23 minutes 44 seconds (.... this is actually my second personal best for 5K).

SLOWLY PICKING UP THE PACE

Went to the gym this morning and did the following workout:

• 10 miutes warming up walk at a pace of 6k/hr
• 30 minutes exercise using the elliptical machine
• 5K run at 25 minutes 04 seconds
• 15 minutes bike
• 25 minutes exercise using the elliptical machine

My nike+ipod functions just fine but I failed to upload any running data recorded in it. It's either the computer or the gadget itself..... well I don't want to bother myself with this matter.....

I AM "BACK"

Went to the gym this morning to do some workouts which consists of a 20 minutes brisk walking (6.0k/hr to 6.7k/hr), 30 minutes exercise on the Reebok elliptical machine, a 5K running at 26 minutes 05 seconds, and a 10 minutes cooling down walk at 6k/hr.

AS IF RUNNING IS SOMETHING NEW

Went to the gym this morning. The plan was to do some running. I tried but to no avail. It was as if I have never done any running in my life before. So the following summarises what I did this morning:

• 20 minutes walk at 6km/hr
• 5 minutes painful run at 9km/hr
• 30 minutes exercise on the elliptical machine (Body Trec)
• 10 minutes walk at 6km/hr to 6.5km/hr

Tomorrow is the O level Biology Practical Examination..... I hope all my studnets will do well tomorrow..... My stress level is very high right now preparing for the materials for tomorrow's practical.......

NO RUNNING

I went to the gym this morning with no desire to run at all. So to oxidise the stored energy in my body, I did a 90 minutes exercise using the elliptical machine.

The fasting month could start tomorrow. Happy fasting to all Muslims.

6K PLUS OTHERS

Today's workouts:

• 30 minutes exercise on the elliptical machine
  
• 6K run
• 30 minutes brisk walking

The following chart speaks:

ANOTHER PAINFUL RUN

Initially it was comfortable but after the 4K mark I started to feel the pain along my spine especially at the lower part of my back. I forced myself to run with the pain but to no avail, I have to stop at the 5K mark. After giving myself a rest, I continued my workout on the Reebok Body Trec Elliptical Machine for 35 minutes.

Hopefully I can do a long run tomorrow.

SIMPLY ELLIPTICAL

My back pain affects my runs lately. For example today, I went to the gym with the intension on doing a long run but I had to stop at 5K because I could not bear the pain. So to compensate the journey to the gym, I did some exercises using the elliptical machine. Here's the summary of today's workout:

• Technogym Elliptical Machine for 20 minutes (Resistance = 18 to 20/25; Distance = 12K).

• 5K run. The following chart speaks:
