Disclaimer: By doing my workouts and blogging it online here, I’m not seeking attention, nor am I an exhibitionist. I’m the type that follow-through my training much better if I put it in writing. I workout because I can and love doing so. So do not try to emulate my program, I bear no responsibility if you do so. I’m no role-model, not your papa, mama, or someone you can look-up to, nor am I’m a national athlete, I’m just a nobody. So just leave me be. Well it’s the fourth week of my training cycle, and it’s the easy week for me, before starting another new cycle next week. So far I’ve adapted well with the training. Every aching session usually gets better in terms of my body acclimatizing to the intensity, and I’ve to increase the intensity the next time round to feel the strain. I guess the proper recovery and supplementation partly aids in my improvement and recovery. For me sleep is very important, and it’s good you stick to a routine of the same sleeping hours each night. As for me, my sleeping time is between 6-7 hours daily during the night, and a short nap in the afternoon. The hours of course differs for each person, but if you’re sleeping more than 9 hours and find that you’re having backache after waking up, then you’re sleeping way too much, and if it persists do seek a sleep therapist. It’s been known that too much sleep can weaken your sleep system, may shorten life, and has been linked to a host of medical problems, including diabetes, heart disease. So get enough QUALITY sleep, so as you can train much better with more focus! Well back to today’s training at hand … Workout of the Day
The overall time for my workout today is 2 hours and 30 minutes, that includes jogging to and fro to the training location for the warm-up and active recovery, core session, gym workouts and the conversion outdoors. I always look forward to jogging in the morning, as along the route, there’s so many stuff to observe, like people rushing; obviously late for work or school, the cute office chicks, to just admiring the beautiful morning. Well the gym session for today I met an old school buddy. We were in the same ITE batch class of 1998. He was scrawny then, and he looks much better now, more proportional. It’s good to catch-up, and I’m all right with the chat-chit, despite adding more time to my training clock.
I left the gym after 1 hour and 15 minutes, and proceed outdoors for the conversion such as the box jump. I’m getting much better at it. My jump height is increasing, and I’ll probably need to find a higher box jump location. The hurdles and bounding part was as usual. Being it’s an easy week, I reduced the sets, and focused plenty on my form. Always reminding myself to be explosive and achieving fast ground contact always. The running part, well I did a different variation than the last one I had at the carpark. It’s an alternate of long plus short dash. You can view the training location I sprinted today by observing the above photo. And yep it has a downslope slant, so in a way I’m doing over-speed training too. Well it’s back to work now, and a short nap … ciao!
