I can’t believe it (well I can but I don’t want to). I had an awful nights sleep last night due to the DOMS pain in my legs. When I woke up today the pain was still there. Yes, I have second day DOMS from the run. I decided to go for a cycle first [...]

Ouch! First, an update on the run last night. I have never felt so alive and close to death at the same time. I picked a mile along an old disused railway track in the countryside to run down. I figured I could run a mile in one direction and the same back again. As planned I [...]

After my last week containing a couple of tough bicycle rides I thought how disappointed I would be if I didn’t lose any weight this week. After the weigh-in this morning I am pleased to say that I am absolutely delighted with my progress and had nothing to worry about. This week my key [...]

Today brings me to the end of my first 6 weeks of being on Phase 1. In reflection I am amazed that I feel a lot healthier and fitter than I did at the beginning. Last night before bed I felt happy for the first time in months. Eating a predominantly raw diet I have found myself [...]

My legs felt heavy and tired this morning. I went out for a cycle ride along my normal Ballacrye and The Cronk route and although I didn’t feel like I had the normal amount of energy I still managed to ride along OK. I put in a time of 17:45 minutes which is fine for [...]

Wow, I am nearly at the half way stage of Phase 1. In a few days I will have hit that first milestone and I am looking forward to revealing the stats of my progress. I managed to go for a cycle this morning on the road bike. The soreness had gone from my knees [...]

Today is probably the latest I have slept in for a long time. Although the kids were milling around I didn’t get out of bed until 9:30 am. and it felt good. My muscles felt quite good following on from yesterday’s mountain bike ride and the only real casualty is my knees (and a few [...]

I don’t know if today was a landmark or a mistake. Following on from how surprised I was with my cycle on Sunday I thought I would try a bit of a cycling experiment. I thought I would try and ride the mountain bike route that I followed in last year’s End to End cycle [...]

Upon waking this morning I felt fine. My calves were a bit sore from the cycle yesterday so I thought I would do “the hair of the dog” and go for a cycle for my early morning exercise. I took the road bike along the Ballacrye and The Cronk route in 17:30 minutes. I was [...]

This morning when I woke up it was straight to the the weigh-in to find out what progress I have made. Progress is once again slow but steady and I didn’t do my 15 minutes of exercise as I had chosen to go out for a good cycle this morning instead. This week my key [...]
