I should have probably had a bit more tea to help subdue the feeling.<\/p>\n<h3>Yesterday&#8217;s measurements<\/h3>\n<p>Weight: <strong>95.7kg<\/strong> down 0.2kg since Tuesday<br \/>\nBody Fat percentage: <strong>16.9%<\/strong> down 0.4% since Tuesday<br \/>\nBMI: <strong>24.4<\/strong> no change since Tuesday<\/p>\n<h3>Day 4 &#8211; today<\/h3>\n<p>Today was a repeat of Monday. Having done squats on Monday for the first time in a long time my legs have been aching all week. That&#8217;s a good thing; they&#8217;re being used and stressed in a way they&#8217;re not used to, which should mean they&#8217;re getting stronger. But it also means the first km or so of my run this morning felt a little tight until they loosened up.<\/p>\n<p>In the end it was an ok run, I did the 5km in 26 minutes and 53 seconds. I&#8217;m happy to be coming in under 27 minutes even when I&#8217;m not feeling 100% or pushing too hard.<\/p>\n<p>Food today has been good:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>breakfast was 3 eggs, spinach, salsa, an avocado and a mug of green tea<\/li>\n<li>I had 1 protein shake post run<\/li>\n<li>I had a black coffee mid morning at a meeting<\/li>\n<li>Lunch was a bowl of turkey, veg and bean chilli and a wholemeal pita bread<\/li>\n<li>mid afternoon I had a banana, raspberry and skimmed milk smoothie<\/li>\n<li>I had a second protein shake post my evening workout<\/li>\n<li>dinner was a wrap filled with garlic beans, some mozzarella and some salsa followed by an apple<\/li>\n<li>through the day I drank 2 pints of water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This evening&#8217;s workout went well. I did:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 sets of 100 crunches<\/li>\n<li>10 sets of 10 goblet squats with a 16kg kettle bell<\/li>\n<li>10 sets of press ups \u00e2\u20ac\u201c doing 5 sets of 15 and 5 sets of 10.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That routine doesn&#8217;t feel as intense as my old Monday \/ Thursday workout as the squats don&#8217;t get my heart racing like the kettle bell swings used to, but by the time I&#8217;ve finished all sets my quads are burning like never before.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re still burning now as I type and it&#8217;s been 3 hours since I finished&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll push the push ups back up to more sets of 15 next week and hopefully get up to 15 reps for all 10 sets again within a week or two.<\/p>\n<h3>Today&#8217;s measurements<\/h3>\n<p>Weight: <strong>93.8kg<\/strong> down 1.9kg since yesterday<br \/>\nBody Fat percentage: <strong>16%<\/strong> down 0.9% since yesterday<br \/>\nBMI: <strong>23.9<\/strong> down 0.5 since yesterday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday (day 3 of this new training schedule) was a rest and fast day.
