Moonkin Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I just signed up for my first challenge (see link in signature) so thought it would be a good idea to start a battle log.It will mainly be used to track how each training session has gone so I can look back and reflect on what has worked and what hasn't. I am going to try a different style of training for the first 3 months and shift away from weight training in the gym to a mix of endurance and bodyweight exercises. I am aiming to attempt a few mud runs/obstacle races this year and the ability to push or lift my own body weight will certainly come in handy!I am also a keen, albeit new mountain biker so will be making a note of any related training/achievements in here.Additionally, I will keep a food log when/if I have time - but if I do not, I will also be keeping a picture food log on YouFood. My username is BananaPancakes if anyone wants to follow. The aim is to eat at a level 7 or above (i.e. legumes, fruits and nuts are allowed, ideally in moderation).In my next post I will publish my current workout schedule. 1 Quote Moonkin Race: Dryad | Class: Druid Challenges: Battle Log: Character: https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/44134 "The harder the world, the fiercer the honour" Link to comment
Moonkin Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 So, day 1 of challenge was quite fun! An achievement in itself.I promised I'd post my workout schedule but I just got home from work and logging onto a laptop which contains said file that is required is effort - will attach it tomorrow.Nonetheless here is a very brief outline:Monday - lunchtime run (about 45 mins to 1 hour) - couple of laps of the nearby wood so about 5-6km to start off with. Tuesday - Kettlebells training, 45 mins in the evening. If session is full, no excuses - go boxfit.Wednesday - lunchtime run, or intervals / hill sprints (45 mins roughly)Thursday - spin or jog in the morning followed by NF bodyweight workoutFriday - Rest daySaturday - bootcamp AMSunday - Rest dayIn addition to this I will strive to go for a 20 min walk 3 x per week mon-fri (office job means I don't move much on a weekday!)Also, I mountain bike so there will be the occasional session worked in at the weekends - particularly as I am trying to do 1 x even more fun exercise session each week - mtb / hike / skating / yoga,etc Quote Moonkin Race: Dryad | Class: Druid Challenges: Battle Log: Character: https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/44134 "The harder the world, the fiercer the honour" Link to comment
Moonkin Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Today can be considered a success:Went for a short run at lunch to get back into the swing of things - 4.6km in 32 minutes.Food has been 100% paleo for the second day in a row so all good - although dinner portion was a tad on the large side (ahem...big steak!)I also decided to go for a quick 30 mins ice skating session to end the day Quote Moonkin Race: Dryad | Class: Druid Challenges: Battle Log: Character: https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/44134 "The harder the world, the fiercer the honour" Link to comment
Moonkin Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 As promised - attached can be found a more colourful copy of the aforementioned exercise timetable Unfortunately it's a bit blurry - I wasn't sure how to transfer a table into here so saved it as a pic from excel which it doesn't seem to have liked. Alas... Quote Moonkin Race: Dryad | Class: Druid Challenges: Battle Log: Character: https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/44134 "The harder the world, the fiercer the honour" Link to comment
