Over-Training, Rest, and the Immune Response
Over the last few weeks, my mind has been swinging backward and forwards between my training plans and the Spartan Trifecta Weekend that I’ve signed up for at the end of June. The fear that I won’t be ready by June keeps returning despite my efforts to keep it under control. I tell myself toContinue reading “Over-Training, Rest, and the Immune Response”
The 18 Month Review
If you’re interested to read about my journey, the first two parts are here: My Weight Loss Journey The One Year Review Losing weight was never my intention when I started this fitness journey.

SCKLM 2019: 10 KM Leisure
On Sunday 29 September, I ran in the Standard Chartered KL Marathon (SCKLM). This year I was in the leisure category – no stress, just take it easy. I did the same race last year (nearly 18 months ago) and I thought it would be a great opportunity for a progress report since the courseContinue reading “SCKLM 2019: 10 KM Leisure”
The One Year Review
It is now a little over a year since I “lost weight” for my Spartan Journey and I thought it would be a good time to review my progress.

I was re-reading an old post I wrote about my early flycycle experiences just to see how far I’ve come and noticed that IContinue reading “Heart Rates – When You Really Should Be Worried”
Come Join the Cirque

Naturally, we had to go check it out… Cirque is a 50 minute circuit workout that incorporates HIIT/burst training and functional training. Depending on the class you choose,Continue reading “Come Join the Cirque”
FlyClimb – the New Vertical Workout in Town
Now this is a workout I have been waiting for ever since I discovered the existence of rock climbing treadmills. While I may no longer be a rock climber, the lure of the vertical ascent is still in my blood. I have waited with anticipation for the launch of this class and have finally beenContinue reading “FlyClimb – the New Vertical Workout in Town”
Heart Rates and Other Measures for Fitness
I’ve been tracking my heart rate during workouts for some time now and it has always troubled me how high it is when I work out. When #FMR sees my heart rate stats, he gets cross with me because he thinks I’m going to have a heart attack while working out. That’s probably because heContinue reading “Heart Rates and Other Measures for Fitness”
My Weight Loss Journey
A number of people have remarked about the weight I’ve lost over the last year so I’ve decided to share the story… Most of the changes took place over six to seven months from October-November 2017 to April 2018. I should also mentioned that even though this post is labelled “my weight loss journey”, weightContinue reading “My Weight Loss Journey”
