Training hard and 5lb lost!

A serious amount of training has been going on this week. At least an hour and a half everyday this week and some days even two and a half hours.

At the moment the training is focusing on building my stamina for walking and climbing and I have been doing some serious interval training on the cross-trainer and treadmill, along with core stability and strengthening work.

Some days the training is easier than others, but I need to get through the trekking for 7 days tiredness barrier.

The benefit of training so far is that I have lost 5lb as a result and my general energy levels are higher - which is a nightmare for my sleep pattern as I don't feel tired in the evening and by the time I feel tired enough to sleep - it is more or less time to get up!

Next step is to find some routes that I can actually go out walking - but my favourite walking places are a bit far at the moment for the cost of petrol!

Don't forget to sponsor me when you get the chance.
