(Quick catch up post for the record...)

40 minute session at new Lanark Gym :

2.7km on treadmill (0.5km warm up, 2km run, 0.2km cool down)
4.3km on bike
1.02km on rowing machine (I remember that this took 5 minutes)
1.2km on cross trainer

Sadly haven't got a note as to how long each of these took or what resistance level was used, but those were the distances anyway.

There have been a few gym visits and games of football between the last blog entry and now, but nowhere near enough, sadly... Interesting news that the old gym in Lanark closed in January, and was replaced by a nice new fancy gym setup. Had to get a mini-induction done, and will have to revisit a couple of bits of that, but the main thing is the loss of the abdominal abominator - there is no equivalent machine in the new gym, so will have to work out some replacement for that. Anyway...

30 minute session in the new gym, as follows :

14 minutes on treadmill, starting with 3 mins at 6.0km/h+3.0%, moving to 5 minutes at 8.5km/h+1.0%, then the rest at 9.5km/h. Managed 2.11km in total.
5.11 minutes on the bike, doing 2.5km in total at level 9.
6 minutes on the cross trainer, 2 forwards at level 11, 2 backwards at level 11, 2 forwards at level 7, for a total of 1.08km.

Was pretty knackered after that - got home late from work so didn't have time to build up to speed, or do any time on the rowing machine either, so just ploughed on into serious exercise as quickly as possible !
