Bad back = No running

On another note 1 3/4lbs off this week, would have liked a bit more but a loss is a loss. Managed to hurt my back this week during Step Circuits, I felt it "twang" and it's been hurting ever since. Trying to keep active and sticking to the cross trainer until it gets better as sitting down makes it hurt more than actually moving around!!

Last week went a bit like this:

Tuesday 4th August : Gym 40 mins fartlek running on the treadmill, 9.5 - 12 speed. Then on the Crosstrainer on the Crosstrain for 20 mins on number 12. Weights for 20 mins (arms, legs) and sit ups.

Wednesday 5th August: Rest Day

Thursday 6th August: A 8.73 mile run (1 hour 32 mins) to Roath Park and back in the evening.

Friday 7th August: 1 hour Circuit Training, which was tough as they had 3 minutes on each station!

Saturday 8th August: A 5.7 mile run (55 mins)

Sunday 9th August: Gym 40 mins fartlek running on the treadmill, 9.5 - 12 speed. Then on the Crosstrainer on the Crosstrain for 20 mins on number 12. Weights for 20 mins (arms, legs) and sit ups.

Then 1 hours Step Circuits in the night.

Monday 9th August: Gym, 60 mins on the Crosstrainer on cross train number 11, then arm weights for 20 mins.


I'm hoping by next week my back will get better and will carry on with the running for the Half Marathon in October :-)
