In Workout Week posts I will tell you everything about my last week’s workouts.
On Monday I had my regular 30 minute walk with my dog and in the evening did 1 hour of cycling. Another pain free day, I was very happy about that.
Tuesday was official rest day, so I went on a nice long walk with my dog. The weather was hot and sunny, a real heatwave. I felt weird and weak.
Wednesday was regular Zumba day. I have to tell you, I have never felt to passive and weak in during a workout ever. My legs just didn’t move! I started falling into ketosis that day so the weakness was normal. No glycogen, no carbs – body feels weeks. When ketones seriously kick in, it gets better. Besides that I did my regular 30 minute walk and got soaked in rain. In the evening I did a short 15 minute walk aswell.
Thursday morning I did my regular 30 minute walk. In the evening I decided I have enough strength to do some all over muscle exercizes. I did some I’ve always done and remembered and also found some nice exercizes from DeStorm’s YouTube video:
Friday afternoon I did my regular walk. After dinner I had a long debate with myself whether I should go for a run or go cycling. I had had no sciatic pain for the whole entire week. But I was in ketosis so I felt a little bit tired and weak. I decided to go and run since I really love runninga lot more than cycling. I created a new 7K lap and it was great! No pain, pure joy.
Saturday was rest day. The weather was lovely and I had a nice long walk with my dog.
Sunday was AWESOME! My macros were a little bad (had some currants and beans so about 15 grams extra carbs that day) but those extra carbs really kicked into my run! I got my best average speed (8,3 km/h, previously 7,99 km/h) and therefore best time and pace. I was so so happy! I didn’t even care if the berries kicked me out of ketosis, I need to be in best shape at Narva Energy Run on Saturday. Besides that I had to go to the grocery store so I cycled to the nearest town, all together 30 minutes.
In total:
4 hours 15 minutes of walking
1 hour 30 minutes of cycling
1 hour of Zumba
1 hour of muscle exercizes
This week was lovely. I enjoyed myself, didn’t have any sciatic pain and had nice workouts, besides the Zumba where I felt tired. Next week going back to 20 grams of carbs per day (this week I had only 5 grams as an experiment, that’s too low for me) and hopefully having lots of fun at Narva Energy Run on Saturday. Wish me luck! 🙂
