Lots of bowing today. Used the opportunity to do lots of stiff-leg dead loft motions to strengthen and lengthen the hamstrings, with emphasis on keeping the back straight and bending from the hips.  Thought about running later at night, but I can feel my hips sore and hamstrings a bit tender. Opted to go walkingContinue reading “Saturday – Functional Movement”

In Singapore. Far too humid, though it was a fairly cool day with overcast skies. Running was good in the beginning but quickly got slow as the humidity caught on. And running in the Botanic Gardens where it is very hilly. But keep to MAF and kept my HR as close to 140 as possible,Continue reading “Friday – MAF Run”

Ideally would have done something, but circumstances didn’t allow it. Only had 6 hours of sleep in the last 48. Though over-caffeinated and didnt feel that bad and surprisingly felt good enough and motivated to go for a little light run, I erred on safety and went to bed instead. 

There will be days like this: an all day meeting with a flight at the end. So no workout today. But it’s fine — gotta let my legs recover a bit. 

Damn it, Zwift! When I’m in a rush and need to ride a quick hour, you had to force an update on me. And you know my Internet is not that fast, and now I’m forced to ride with you! Haha. Just switched on my Garmin Fenix 3, and did the Sweet Spot 50 minContinue reading “Tuesday – MAF Bike Ride”

Body not tired. My legs do feel a bit heavy, but not the reason to not workout today. Family and work do come before training — tonight is my date night with my eldest daughter, got work to complete before Wednesday, and an all day trip out of town tomorrow, so gotta sleep early tonight.Continue reading “Monday – No Workout”

Alluding back to a run I had with my son, I started out today’s run slow — really slow to get things warmed up. I ran with my son and daughter today, but explicitly declared to everyone that I will be running only and will not walk to accommodate any stragglers. Yes, Father-of-the-Day award goesContinue reading “Sunday – MAF Run”

About 60 min of riding a sweet spot workout. Knew from before that my HR will hover at about my MAF HR. A bit surprised to see that the HR did not go above my MAF like before.  It wasn’t dead easy on my legs, but it was a decent workout. FTP was established atContinue reading “Saturday – Zwift MAF Ride”

Came home late, didn’t get the chance to run outside as family comes first. After dinner, late into the night, thought of running for 30 min on treadmill so to get consistency back into my training.  Naturally got into the groove, ran for an hour. Kept HR about 139 which on treadmill was easy. FeltContinue reading “Friday – Treadmill MAF Run”
