Restart Training: 4 days of training each week for the next 30 days!
BY: Bomonti on 2015-07-22 7:07 AM
Well it sounds easy and even under par for most of you out there, however this challenge is meant for people whom for some reason dropped from the athletic discipline.
The aim of this challenge is to regain that athletics discipline, starting with 4 days of training per week, every week for the next 4 weeks.
The days may alternate but you have to have 4 active days between Monday to Sunday each week.
I always have a busy schedule with lots of international traveling and in the next 4 weeks I will also have some vacation time.
Nevertheless, I will still succeed in my plan.
You can join any time, and go on for the next 4 weeks following your sign-up.
BONUS: 1 hour non-stop walking with a steady pace will count as a valid training day
(for injury recovery and fatty reasons
).
WEEKLY WEIGHT TRACKING: Optional, I am starting at a solid 92kg.
Let the games begin!

Week 1, Day 4:
BIKE: 20km in 55 minutes.
Oh man I so wanted to quit in the first 5 kilometers.
Then I stopped at 20km to make sure I can sit down at least half of the upcoming week
All in all I managed to reach my target for the first week and I'm very happy for it.

This will be a challenging week as I will be away from home for 4 days for a business trip and a friend's wedding. But I'm sure I'll be keeping up with my goal even if it means walking every day

I completed the week 3 with a success and had 2 days of training on the 4th week, then...
Then I got heat stroke! Not because of excess exercising but dehydrating while reading GoT at the beach :/
I can't say challenge completed, nor can I say it has failed but I have to put it on hold for this week due to health issues.
I will be back.
