Elliptical Trainer warm up/down 10:00 [1]
weight:80kg (injured)

Running 25:00 [1] 2.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel DS 17 White

Feeling a bit lighter on my feet. Hip flexor slightly less sore every day. Resisted urge to go further or faster though.

Stepper 25:00 [2]

Was going to do this for longer (esp as the athletics came on the TV) but left hip flexor started hurting and don't want to start it causing trouble with this too.

Strength and Conditioning 15:00 [3]

Misc strength/stretch. 3 x 8 x 100kg on seated leg press, 3 x 8 x 65 leg extension. Pete (injured) and Morag were also in the gym.

First month I've logged over 27 hours.

Elliptical Trainer warm up/down 10:00 [1]
weight:80.8kg (injured)

Running 25:00 [1] 2.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel DS 17 White

Stepper 30:00 [2]

Strength and Conditioning 10:00 [3]

Incl. high knee lift jogging (a pathetic 2 mins - working on this might help me), 3 x 8 x 110 kg seated leg press, 2 x 8 x 65kg quad extension (then left knee asked to stop).

Feeling like I'm working quite hard this week - will be intrigued to see if this stepper lark helps my crumby hill running.

Running 32:00 [1] 3.2 mi (10:00 / mi)
weight:81.1kg (injured) shoes: Asics Gel DS 17 White

Taking it easy. Left hip flexor (or more accurately some kind of core muscle which connects to the left leg - can't do cross-ways crunches at the mo) still sore but not too bad once warmed up. I'll just keep with the easy jogging for a bit.

Stepper 30:00 [2]

This doesn't hurt though and as I'm meant to be spending a couple of months trying to do something about my hill running this is main exercise for now.

Strength and Conditioning 10:00 [3]

Incl. 3 x 8 x 105kg seated leg press, almost completed 3 x 8 x 65kg guad extension.

Elliptical Trainer 10:00 [1]
weight:81.1kg (injured)

Running 20:00 [1] 3.4 km (5:53 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel DS 17 White

Left leg/ab pain when started, warmed up but never completely went away despite low speed.

Stepper 30:00 [2]

This didn't hurt.

Strength and Conditioning 5:00 [3]

Stretching and some strength. Only just managed 3 x 6 x 35kg left leg press but almost managed 55kg on right. Think I'll just work on left for a bit until I even things a bit...

Elliptical Trainer 10:00 [1]
weight:81.8kg (injured)

Stepper 30:00 [2]

Strength and Conditioning 5:00 [3]

Including leg press, failed 3 x 6 x 50kg w. left leg, was easy with right leg.

Elliptical Trainer warm up/down 10:00 [1]
weight:81.8kg (injured)

Rowing Machine 10:00 [1]

Was going to do more but this did seem to hurt the dodgy hip flexor which hadn't hurt all day.

Stepper 30:00 [1]

This, however, didn't.

Strength and Conditioning 5:00 [3]

Stopped during second set of 8 x 105kg on the leg press - straining left knee. Of course, the whole point of doing strengthening exercises is to push things, just need to build this up slowly. Left leg conspicuously less strong than right (perhaps 10kg), might switch to doing this one leg at a time.
