Report 2 - Week beginning 12/01/09

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

Yes, but found it difficult to fit it around this bad winter cold that I have picked up.

Have you done more or less than expected? Explain.

No, but I managed 2 out of the 3 sessions and was happy with my progress.

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

I felt miserable with the cold but managed with the programme okay. The high was doing the last session on Sun 18 Jan after a week of illness and still achieving my target.

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

Found improvement with my breathing and distance in my second session of the week.

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

Round Achvarasdal Forest. The paths and tracks are perfect to my needs at this early stage of the training.

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

Fortunate to train this week with my wife Sophie. She has been a great inspiration and a 'chatty' running partner.

Any injuries?

None to date.

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

I feel I have more energy.

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

I have only done a walk additional to the training programme this week due to my cold.

Any other observations?

I have lost 6lbs in weight since starting. This includes a change in my diet.
