Woke up with sore shoulders, upper back and triceps thanks to yesterdays combo of JT and Fran workout. Shouldn’t have done Fran after JT since they were both shoulder workouts. Oh well, whats done is done.
Due to the DOMS, decided to take it easy and went running instead (okay, okay more like jogging / brisk walking :p) earlier this evening at TTDI. Headed to the tar road trail otherwise known as “Hills of Death” for its steep seemingly endless hills for the first time ages. Took my sweet time and did approx 5km in 40mins. FML -____-”
Then I headed to the TTDI Park and did approx 2km in 12:35 and once I was done with that, did 3 sets of 10 chin-ups, 10 push ups and 10 squats. Could do straight reps of 10 chin-ups for the first two sets but at the last set, my shoulders were feeling it and I broke it down to 4, 3, 3. Push ups and squats a-ok.
Updated my playlist with new songs from BEP’s The E.N.D and some old tracks from Fatboy Slim, Fischerspooner and Ting-Tings. I think the music motivated me to run more than my usual training of 3km :p Gonna do another run before the adidas King of the Road event this Sunday at Shah Alam. Aiming for a PR this time round!
A concern I have with all this running/jogging is the risk of losing my muscle mass 0_o Gotta look into this and see how I can improve in running AND maintain the muscles. Yes, I want it all :p




Dear Anna, so glad to see that you are into running now! I think you don’t have to worry one bit about losing muscle mass. Running definitely helps with the stamina and your vigorous workouts in the gym help to complement running as well. My gym guys are still as big as ever with the running I make them do.hahah
Are you planning on running longer distances? (10k and above) Other than that you need not worry at all…cheers! Keep up the good work!
