Too busy/lazy to regularly update but fortunately not to train.
Quite a bit of MTB, golf and other stuff so only in the gym 3 times a week. Lots of high intensity stuff including this from Saturday
Warmup - 2km row
6 rounds of:
- 45 seconds battle ropes
- 20 x 24kg Kettlebell swings
- 20 press-ups
- 20 swiss ball crunches
- 1 min assault bike
- 45 second prone hold
Each round takes about 5mins so all done pretty quickly.

Well, i thought I was fittish but proved myself wrong on the weekend.
Been doing weekly runs, nothing particularly fast or long but was feeling good and that I could probably push myself a bit harder and do a local trail that I’ve walked a few times and even mountain biked (more hike a bike in parts).
It wrecked me, particularly the first km which had just shy of 150m of elevation gain. Yuck!
Not sure I was fuelled up right before the run which probably didn’t help. Body felt pretty good the next day so wasn’t all bad. Will do it again some time as a bit of a test

Scenery looked great at least!
Proper elevation there too, can’t beat a solid trail run

And I haven't run since!
Need to hold myself accountable. Been in the gym a couple of times a week but have been just going thru the motions. Last week I started to step things up and try get in to some decent shape by christmas. Havent weighed myself lately or taken any indicative bf measures but feeling light and lacking in muscle. Skinny fat perhaps.
Current plan is to hit the gym three times a week for weights - Mon (lower), Tues (upper) and then one of probably Fri or even Sat for a more all rounder full body type workout. Weds is gym cardio day at the moment (usually an hour ride), possibly some stretching and weekend is something proper outdoors - like a run or ride.
Will rock this for a bit and then step it up for some high intensity stuff from end of October thru to christmas.

Boo some sickness has turned up.
Last week was OK training wise.
Tues and Thurs - weights in gym
Weds - gym ride - 1 hour easy zone 2 stuff
Saturday - 14km mixed road and trail run - so another hour of easy zone 2 stuff
Sunday - walk only as feeling a bit mud -
Sickness still hanging about but almost on its way out. Would have probably been gone if I had rested
Week gone
Mon and Tues - upper and lower body weights in the gym
Weds - gym ride - 1hr easy. Then a short 5km run in the evening
Thurs and friday did bugger all as had client events etc. Drank and ate well.
Sat morning - an easy 6km trail run whilst the lad warmed up for footy. Pretty muddy. Good fun.
Sunday - short walk and more beer
