Tuesday

OK - back on the saddle. Did a full 45-minute weights workout at the gym and then followed that up with 30-minutes on the treadmill. Need to kick-start the old system; I've been so crap of late.

Workout:

I've figured out why my row times have gone down the shitter, too - it all comes down to the quite vast differences between the various rowing machines. The rowers at my gym all have a fixed level of resistance - you can't change it like you can on some systems. The machine I normally use is, according to one of the trainers down there, set correctly. However, when the place is busy, beggars can't be choosers, etc, and I've often been stuck with another machine (which, for reasons I'll now explain, is always free), that is set so loosely that no matter how hard you work you can't get the bastard to go faster than 250m/minute. Overall, that equates to a 40-second difference (or thereabouts) in the 4-minute time trial.

Food:

No chocolate, but the alcohol is a killer as usual.
