Asylum Day 6 - Pam

Strength


You may notice that the dates and workouts are now out of sync.  This should be day 8.  However, on Sunday morning I went for my first run in exactly two months.  The intention was to run for 9 miles, which would have been pushing it for a first run.  However, armed with a complete lack of a sense of direction, my friend who planned the route took me on a magical mystery tour which increased the distance to 10.5 miles.  My legs seized up the last two miles and I was in quite a bit of pain for the remainder of the day, so decided it would have been unwise to do the planned strength workout that day or the next.  Hence, I did it this morning.

I didn't get enough sleep or drink enough water prior to the workout and this effected energy levels. However, I fought through it and got the job done.

I learned from last week's raising of weights during the chest/ab section of the workout.  I lowered them back down to 6.5kg each and felt the work happening in my abs, rather than my chest.  This is more in-line with my goals.

As with my previous round of Asylum, this round seems to be passing so quickly.  I would like to be doing an extra ab or butt workout in the evening but don't feel I can or should after doing my morning workout and then my 3.30pm fit club workout.  I just need to spend less time messing about in the morning to try to fit in a little Athlean Extreme six pack workout.

I have back to core tomorrow.  Glad to be having another day for my legs to recover prior to tackling vertical plyo.
