The Energizer 2

I blogged yesterday about my energetic evening. I felt incredible energy after a pool session (approx.10 X 25 meters)workout followed by a 2 mile run, 1 mile walk and 5 minute stretch. Well all that energy did keep me awake. I finally went off to sleep and woke energetic. So today I went on a 10 mile bike excursion. I feel fabulous. Yet I am sure I won't be up most of tonight as the energy requires time to build up again. I say then let the recovery process now begin. Good night!

The Energizer

It is 30 minutes later but the energizer doesn't know the difference. Who is this energizer? It's dual exercise: swim 40 minutes and run 23 minutes; total time logged, 1 hour and three minutes. The energizer keeps going and going and going. Will I sleep tonight; tune in tomorrow.

Dual Training Day

This will be a dual training day for me since I missed my run yesterday. It should reset my VO2 max which averages about a 36. You may ask what does VO2 max mean and what the number 36 indicates. Rather than go into a long scientific explanation, here is a link you can go to that explains it simply http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/fitnessevalandassessment/a/VO2_Norms.htm?once=true&
Should you link to this article you may think that I just want to show off how athletic I am. But rather I would show you that body fat is a factor in my case. And yet I complain of a lack of body fat especially in my shoulder and collar areas! I recall sometime ago after reviewing my Body Composition Test results, the Professor remarked, "Wow, your fat levels are so low, are you athletic?" I replied, "I used to be...I need to get back into it." I had taken a Pilate's class prior to the test, yet I gained weight(1.5 lbs) which was desired. Then what can explain my "low body fat"? Is is linked to the specific foods I ate. Definitely. I will come back to this in another post, likely on my other blog jhtrainthegreedyappetite.

Time to Train!
