Yesterday gym session was a pay-back:
Paying back for Thursday pig-out and Friday's non-exercise because of the rain. So on Saturday, it was a five click run on the treadmill, at about 8.6mk/h pace. It was fast-both in pace and the distance (for the gym environment) and is probably the effect of the Tuesday's road run.
It felt good, and the feeling lasted as long as the session and the shower. Not sure after that though, I felt a pain on the inside of the left knee. This is definitely a sign of over-running, and I should definitely cut back on the distances.
There is a need to also work on the knee ligament strengthening exercises now. And possibly lay off the running for a couple of days or so.
The upside of all this is that I have lost 1.5kgs since I started, and I suspect that the fat loss is higher as the muscles are feeling stronger. So, I fancy the heaver weight of the muscles could be the reason why the weight loss is only 1.5kg. That... and the over-eating over the workweek!
So, a good week overall, consistency is the name of the game, so despite the 2 aerobic workouts, the consistent muscle workout, especially in the mornings, are really kicking in! And to reflect that the weight gain was over at least a 9 month period, this loss of 1.5kgs over 2-3 weeks cannot be sniffed at.
