Holland's Training Blog
Welcome to my Blog. This is my first attempt at keeping one, my reasons for keeping this Blog are as follows 1. To clearly see my progress in my training as I will be keeping up to date records. 2. To help others with their own training by recording my exercises and goals and giving tips and ideas. 3. To help me reach my own goals, because if I put my goals for all to see then I have to achieve them. 4. I enjoy adding stuff to this site. Goals: I am writing this two days after my last competition. As a team, we came home with a silver medal, which was great but my performance in the individual rounds could have been better. Having a little more mat time than my last competition I came away learning a great deal, learning about myself and other fighters. So this experience has lead me to a long term goal, the thing with achieving goals is to break them down into smaller goals and reach these one at a time. My long term goal is to win an individual gold medal in any karate event. To achieve this I have set myself smaller targets to reach. 1. Lose at least half a stone, at present I weigh 16 stone and want to reach 15 1/2 stone. 2. Improve my fitness 3. Enter competitions on a regular basis I will try to update this Blog on a daily or weekly basis until my goals have been reached. Friday 31st August 2007 Went out delivering flyers today for one of my clubs, took my pedometer with me out of interest and to my surprise walked 6 1/2 miles. Running this afternoon went on my shorter run and was 3 seconds off my best time, felt good and recovered quick. to see my times click - Here To see my route use this link - http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-kingdom/kettering/502194408 Thursday 30th August 2007 Didn't really feel up to much today, but my mind got the better of me and made me feel guilty. So I took my bike down to the track which worked as a good warm up, then I ran through my kata, also press ups, sit ups, squats. I then worked different kicks and finished with a stretch, before biking home again. Made me feel a little better. Wednesday 29th August 2007 Like Arnold I'm back, had some personal issues to deal with last week and couldn't face any training. Anyway went for a good 20 mile bike ride today and really enjoyed myself, starting to get the cycling bug and at some point will get myself a good road bike. I am using a hybrid bike at the moment, built like a mountain bike but with thinner tyres and a larger front cog. Supposed to help me get more speed (but didn't help much last week when a 10 year old girl overtook me whilst going up hill) To see my times click - Here and to see a map of my route use this link - http://www.mapmyrun.com/ride/united-kingdom/kettering/1048352830 First three months - Here
