High places, trails and training with a splash of fashion and rhythm flavour
Since the year has changed I thought it would be nice to look back and examine what did I do on the exercise front. Indoor climbing has been a new hobby I know without looking at any statistics that I exercised more this year than the last, but how much? Well the amount of individual [...]
Last week was full of training with whopping 9 activities and 7 hours of training in total. No wonder my arm disagreed and I ended up having a nerve entrapment that caused intense pain that just got worse by time. I had to go to the ER in the end as I could not have [...]
End of the year is approaching fast and I've been able to train fairly well lately. I am trying to go to the gym twice a week to either classes or just generally to train. Running on the treadmill makes it easier to do HIIT training and I have managed to run at max 11.5 [...]
Pre-Christmas stuff has hit also and it's been fairly busy both at work and off work. Our choir Gospel Helsinki has had quite a few concerts and happenings during December for example performance on the national television Yle for Finnish Independence day reception after party which is a big thing around here about 2,5 million [...]
Finally temperature dropped below zero and we got a bit of frost and snow. You might think we are crazy being happy about snow and weather turning colder but the reality is when it gets colder everything is frozen and water turns to snow so it's brighter and cleaner outside. Strange as it sounds it [...]
After so many weeks of not being myself it has been good to get back to regular (almost) schedule. Best distance for 12 mins --> 2 kilometers Running feels really easy so I am sure that my hemoglobin has gone up. I did a few shorter HIIT runs and one of them was my best [...]
I was trying to get back on track with training this week, but time simply has not been on my side lately. I have been struggling with trying to find time even for a short run and it seem like time is flying so fast I can't keep up with it. Normally my amount should [...]
Week 34 started off good with really intense gym session after which I felt like I can do anything! Managed to do chin-ups easily. Still only one at time but multiple times with short 20 second breaks. On my lunch break I did my usual running route and managed to improve my 12 min "coopers [...]
In the beginning of the week I was a bit down and could not seem to find motivation at all. Legs were sore from gym and running again on flat surfaces and I felt like there is no progress at all and I'm just torturing myself for nothing. Even made this video about my lost [...]
I am clearly in the holiday mode as I sleep until 9:30 am and and have done double the amount of training activities than normally. Being on holiday with kids is fairly active and a full day job on its own. We have been to museums, Suomenlinna fortress island, Korkeasaari zoo, climbing in an outdoor [...]
