Only a week into my gym membership, and already not convinced I will keep it up.<\/p>\n

I have recently been reading books on calisthenics<\/a>, and body weight based exercise and think I will try and follow this as a strength training regime, rather than weights.<\/p>\n

I may still use the gym for access to decent pull up bars, although most calisthenics<\/a> can be practiced at home with little or no equipment.<\/p>\n

Most of the exercise for the week consisted of 30 minute walks with the dog, 2km warmup rows, 10Km distance rows and then 2-3km cool down rows.<\/p>\n

Completed World Erg Challenge<\/a>\u00a0on 15 April with at total of 455,804m coming 4th in the Dark Horse team and 182nd worldwide, Team Dark Horse finished 9th.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

15 April was also the last day of April Fools’ Challenge<\/a>, with a 15Km requirement for the final day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday morning involved a 5.4km walk with the dog, 5.7km ride to Northala Fields<\/a>, 5km ParkRun<\/a>, 5.4km ride home again.<\/p>\n

I had set myself a goal of 30 minutes for the ParkRun<\/a> and managed to complete it in a time of 29:56, so just inside my target time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This placed me 118\/267 overall, 85\/129 male runners, 12\/14 VM50-54 and 50.50% by age grade.<\/p>\n

After arriving back home and relaxing I felt physically drained and did not really want to do anything for most of the day, I believe most of it was probably due to low blood sugar as I had not eaten anything prior to all of the exercise and then mainly ate a protein based meal that would take a while to actually provide any uplift.<\/p>\n

After a few snacks in the afternoon, plenty of water and having dinner I was fine once again.<\/p>\n

I spent Sunday afternoon making a set of stacking plyo boxes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
