Running will hurt your knees. Too much exercise will make you sick. You shouldn’t eat more than two eggs per week as they will cause high cholesterol. Eat eggs every day. Milk causes cancer. Make sure you drink a glass of milk per day. Pork is healthier than poultry. Fish contains too much mercury. Eat… Read More
Out running this morning I decided to change my route a little bit so I didn’t keep circling the same area – more hills, different scenery and a reduction in the monotony of my morning runs. It’s magpie season so I was mostly paying attention to the black and white birds that like to swoop,… Read More
Thanks to Endomondo, I got out of bed this morning at 5am and went cycling. For me to do that before work is not always easy but as soon as the alarm went off, my eyes were wide open and I was checking the weather outside to ensure it wasn’t raining. Nope, it was a… Read More
Today’s swim session was one of those unstructured workouts that was done because I was playing the guilt trip on myself. It’s funny how sometimes I really don’t feel like getting up early for a workout or like today jumping in the pool for a swim session and all I have to do is tell… Read More
When it comes to running, the knees get hit severely. Each time your feet hits the pavement it’s having an impact on your knees and other joints. Lately, my left knee has been speaking out a little too often than I’d like. Yesterday I was meant to go for a long run on the beach… Read More
With a triathlon only a few weeks away I thought it’s a good idea that I start taking my swim training a little more seriously – during the winter months even though the pool was heated and the temperature reached the 20’s I was hesitant and lazy. This morning I hit the pool before breakfast… Read More
One of my favourite magazines is 220 Triathlon. Today I picked up a fresh copy and found it filled with inspirational and touching stories of athletes achieving extraordinary feats. Charlie Wittmack talks about his amazing and unbelievable adventure of swimming the Thames, cycling through Europe and Asia, and tackling the massive Mt Everest. It’s a… Read More
Triathlon season is starting. I’m very excited and a little bit scared. Today, I finally registered and paid for a couple races which means there’s no turning back. I’ve registered for two triathlons in Robina. The first one is a 400/15/4 in November, and the second is a 750/20/5 in January. Registration ID: 37500683 Registrant:… Read More
After yesterday’s ride I probably should have taken a day off today but I couldn’t help myself. We had our first training run for the Cool Night Classic in November after work today. Honestly, I was expecting an easy session in the park – I was in for a surprise. We started off along the… Read More
With yesterday’s rain and thunderstorms throughout the day I was a little concerned about this morning’s charity ride. Fortunately, later in the day it cleared and it’s fair to say that this morning was perfect for the ride. We were running late in the morning due to my ten year high school reunion last night… Read More
