Gym session today. Had big plans on running 3 km + developing intervals into 30 secs x10, but as soon as I started I felt I wasn't on top. Something was wrong. I was faint, weary, energy-less and was worried I might pass out. Not sure why, but interval cycling almost killed me, and even though I did feel a bit better once that was done and I'd finished all the strengthening, I thought it might be best not to take on the huge effort that running would be. I think I actually don't work out enough to improve my stamina. Running twice a week, especially the distances I'm doing, simply isn't enough. I'm still very unfit, which is annoying. Nevertheless, I know I'm not doing 100% in interval cycling - it's so bloody hard! Meh. One of those moods. Regardless:

10 mins cycling
Interval cycling
Leg press: 70 kg x3 (better than usually, once I pulled myself together, got over myself and went for it)
Leg curl: 39 kg x3 (easy peasy, might need to increase here)
Leg extension: 14.5 +17 + 17 kg (wow improvement! and it felt a lot more natural than usual)
Lunges (pain pain pain and unbalanced, but worked)
Squats: (see above)
Ski jumps (trying to increase difficulty on this one by speeding it up for example)
Bending (need to keep this up as I don't have Mr Physio checking mobility every two weeks)

Intending to go tomorrow/Sunday and do another strength session + running, or just running. Depends on mood, but really should try and get 3 sessions in this week. We shall see. I'm in a weird, slightly discomforting mood at the moment...
