Fitness Update #5: It’s been a while… bounced back and harder, fitter, faster, better, stronger than ever before!
Posted by Will in confidence, cross training, goal setting, marathon training, runningHey all!
It’s been a while since my last fitness update. So long story short:
- I signed up for a running clinic with The Running Room over by the beaches in Toronto.
- I’ve been training for the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Half-Marathon where I was originally supposed to run for the Mississauga Marathon back in May this year.
- Change of diet has played a huge role in shedding weight and gaining energy and endurance to make it through a day without a nap
- My shin splints haven’t been as chronic as before due to my proper training with my clinic
- I’ve lost at least 5 pounds since training for two months now (I haven’t properly weighed myself yet
- I ran 12 kilometres and 14 kilometres respectively a few weeks ago, breaking a mental barrier of 10K right around when I last got injured. It was my previous high back in my Fitness update #4
I’ve never felt healthier in my life. I’m able to run for over an hour and a half straight and swim for at least 30 mins (just hopped out of the pool straight.
Finally, I recently decided try out the famed P90X home workout program again after dabbling in it a few months ago. There have been a lot of inspiring videos floating around on YouTube with people tracking their progress as they follow the program with some amazing results. I’ll be doing the same after I’m done my classes for the summer in order to begin a challenge that I’m calling “Project Core Values”, which I’ll dedicate an entire post to later on when I have the time. In any case, as per Fitness Update tradition.. a route of my most recent long run!
