Chub's workout log

I prefer the cooler weather - running in heat is very draining and exhausts me. Give me a chill and a little bite and I am wide awake and loving it!

a nice cool day with blue skies is awesome, but there pretty rare now lol.

Interested in your experience with this. Have you used the original, Dave?

yeah i used it when i first started weight training. couldn't give you a good review on it really. so long ago lol, it did jack my libido right up though. i think i only ran the 1 bottle where as this time i'll be using 2 bottles of the new stuff. my diet is much better now too so that'll make a big difference i think

The correct nutrition and training definitely makes a lot of difference. If you could remember, I would ask you for a comparison at the end of a bottle. Might have to do this myself sometime then, with the same stack as I used with the original.

5/11/10

After starting IGF-2 i've been lethargic as hell! Espicially in the mornings. Missed my 9am run and woke up at 1pm. Guess i could do with catching up on some sleep lol. Worked a 11 hour shift then decided to get my run done and not skip it! so i got my run done after work, about 2:30am lol. In the cold pouring rain.

It was alright apart from the numbness on my knees, felt like they were swollen it was so cold lol. Pushed on and got it done, 3.2miles in around 26minutes again. Still not much of an improvement from say 7weeks ago, maybe 30seconds or so lol. I'll have to get a stop watch so i can time it properly!

Maybe the first week you could only use half doses, Dave, just until your body gets acclimatized to it again . . . LOL, I used to go training outside in whatever the weather - rain, sleet, hail, shine - but the last year, I have been a little more sensible as I've become more prone to sickness. You could always improvise on a cardio session and get a skipping rope and do 20-30 minutes of that if it's raining quite hard out . . .

i do have a skipping rope somewhere, quite like skipping as part of a warm up! i'm not as tired anymore, maybe it was just all the hours at work i've been putting in lol

Thursday 11/11/10

3.2mile on the treadmill 26mins 30secs ish

400metre swim, would of liked it to be longer but i was short on time.

Run was poor, i was breathing like a tard, had to keep slowing down due to a stitch. Pretty much walking then sprinting walking sprinting just to get it over and done with.
 
12/11/10

Much better run today. Steady pace of 8miles/hr (13km/hr) picking up to 8.5-9mile/hr.

First mile and a half was done in 12mins 30secs. The mile after that was done in 7.30 which i was pleased with! total time was 25.30 for 3.2mile which is a PR for me :)

I did slow to sort my headphones at one point at the start. Last 200metres was done at 10.5miles/hr :)

Breathing was much much better and more controlled.

IGF-2 has kicked in nicely! Legs,chest,core and arms are like bricks ;)
 
updates coming later :)
 
There will be updates soon lol. Just been working tons this week but still getting the training in! Pleased with my run today too :)
 
Usual circuit on monday night - had a sore head the whole time which sucked! dosing AX on an empty stomach or light meal seems to give me crazy headaches.

Good endurance - counted 50 tuck jumps in 45secs, 40 without spotting then a few seconds pause before the last 10.

Tuesday was a day off

Wednesday was just a circuit, no boxing circuit.

Thursday - Good run on thursday - 2.4km in 10.45. minute break then 2.4km in 11.54. First 2.4km needs to be under 12.30 and the second under 10:30 (best effort) also i didn't do this on a 2% inclinewhich i'll have to do for my fitness test.

overall the run was alright apart from the return run where i got a stitch and had to slow down a bit, there was a little bit of walking.

A lot to improve on!


Poor run on friday - 3.2km in 19minutes. I didnt get a stitch at all this time, my legs were just minced from the day before and i was soooo tired (even a black cats didnt wake me up) i stopped after the 3.2km and felt like i'd hardly done anything. legs and feeet were just burning but i wasn't out of breath.

saturday was a day off (worked 15 hours :( )

tomorrow is boxing circuit and maybe a run in the evening see how i feel.

Training is suffering due to the lack of sleep. All week i've been getting roughly 3-6 hours sleep. If its up in the 6 hour mark it'll be broken sleep. Day off from work tomorrow and then only 3 days working and then i'm off for 2 weeks which will be great! Getting really sick of working 55-65 hours a week :(

on the upside i'm looking rip as **** lol. veiny too!
 
sundays training never happened neither did monday as i ended up sleeping after work lol. tuesday was a day off. Training wed thurs and today. i'll update later tonight :) i've got 2 weeks off work now so i've got tons of times to just eat sleep and train :D
 
usual circuit last wednesday, quite a lot of body exercises added.

25th 5.6km run in 33mins. mostly 13.5km/hr, but bit of walking as i got a real bad stitch :( last 300-400 metres was at 17-18km/hr

After that it was a row for 6km

300metre swim to finish up.

day off on saturday
 
28/11/10

Sunday was suppose to be an hour n a half of boxing/circuit but it was cancelled due to snow!

so i went down to the gym instead.

8km in 45mins. instead of a constant run it was more like interval training. Slept in so i didnt have time for breakfast only a banana and 2 scoops of purple wraath so i guess this had a big effect on the run as i wasn't doing too well. but the main thing is i got it done!

Later on in the day i swam 1km too
 
29/11/10

5.3km in 30mins. bit slow. at the 1.8km point i went up to a 2% incline till 3km then back to 0%.

Started off running at 13.5km/hr moving up to 14 then 14.5, onto 15.5 then down to 13 for a bit. Last 600metres was at 18km/hr, thought i was going to be sick lol. down to 14.5 the last 100metres.
